Audio CD Playing

[Ed Robitaille]

Please advise--

I am running SuSe 7.3 on a dual boot system with Windows 95 (gotta keep the other half happy).
I updated some software and can no longer play audio cd's either using the console or in X. The cd
player will flash like its playing, I can here audio when I plug headsets into the cd player directly,
but no audio from the speakers. The cd player works ok in Windows. Using:

cat file.wav > /dev/dsp

or
cat file.au > /dev/audio

will produce the appropriate sounds. I can play Mpegs w/audio on cd's with np problem using Xine.
It makes no difference if I am a user or root. I have checked my logs and found no error codes.
Can anyone shed some light, please ?
