No sound outputs - music playback

Hi,
I recently installed a M-Audio Delta44 in my computer. When I try to
play audio CDs no sounds is coming out. The OS is detecting the card
without any problems, eventhough I didn't have installed it with ALSA drivers procedures for new cards. What are the things that I have to
do next?

Audio CD

Which player are you using to play the audio CD's

Some players tend to use the hardware play function of the CD/DVD drive, and if it is not connected internally (almost definitely not) you'll get no sound.

So let us know and then we can help further.

Audio CD

Well. I tried Amarok, Soundjuicer, and Rhythmbox. They all had problems
with the CD player and MP3 playback. No sound output except when I
connected Soundjuicer in Jack, but the sound was terribly loud.

Try the envy24control mixer

For Delta cards you should use envy24control on the Sound & Video menu, rather than the Gnome or ALSA mixers. That's why SoundJuicer is playing back so loud, I bet.

Totem is the only player with support for MP3 playback in 64 Studio, because it has a licenced Gstreamer plugin.

Cheers!

The Amarok player

That is correct the envy24control make it works now.
I succeded to make Rhythmbox playing when connected to Jack. But I didnt
make Amarok, the best player on Linux, giving sound on my card. What could it be.
Just not compatible -

Thanks.

Try upgrading libmad (etch repository). It worked for me, I think amarok and kaffeine need it
