    I have reposted this message as the original did not appear in list
    after 18 hours.

    With one exception sound works perfectly.

    Specifically wavp plays wav files, Gnome/Multimedia/CD Player will play
    a music cd in /dev/cdrom2 (link to hdd), and workbone -d /dev/cdrom2
    will also play the music cd. In each of these examples the sound is
    perfect.

    BUT

    the exception is when a music cd is played from /dev/cdrom (link to
    hdc). Then there is no sound. The programs run and shows that they are
    reading the cd but there is no sound.

    This is a new development. Until yesterday there was no exception -
    everything worked.

    The problem occurred just after I tried - unsuccessfully - to burn cd
    using xcdroast.

    Note that the cdrom drive addressed by /dev/cdrom is not defective. If
    I insert a data cd and mount /cdrom I can read the directories and files
    with no problem. I even resorted to re-booting the Windoze. The
    Windoze CD Player can play a music cd in hdc with sound - no problem.

    In summary, cd players can operate hdc, reading the table of contents,
    fast-forwarding to selected tracks and reading tracks but the output
    must be going to /dev/null. This is specific to hdc, a 52x cdrom
    drive. When the cd players operate hdd, a Sony cdrw drive the signal
    goes to the speakers and there are no problems.

    For the record this is a Debian Sarge box with a 2.6.8 kernel complied
    with ALSA.

    I would appreciate any comments or suggestions which would help me track
    down this problem.
