Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1008669.1 : Sun Blade[TM] 1000: Unable to play audio cd's on Sun Blade 1000
PreviouslyPublishedAs 211885 Steps to Follow The cdplayer software looks like it's playing normally (you can see the track being played), but you cannot hear any sound. Normal sound through /dev/audio works fine. On most systems you can listen to CD audio in a couple of ways. One way is through the headphone jack on the cdrom drive itself. The other is to connect a cable from the back of the cdrom drive and run it internally to the sound card or audio module. Most PC's and some sun-systems (SPARCstation(R)-4/5, Ultra[TM] 5 and Ultra[TM] 10) implement this cable. The problem with the Sun Blade[TM] 1000 (and possibly other Sun systems) is that the DVD-ROM that is shipped with it doesn't have a headphone jack. And you can't use the cable method because while there is a cable connection on the back of the DVD-ROM, there is no cable connection on the audio module (part #501-4155). Because all future Sun Desktops will be configured without this cable, the only way to play audio is to incorporate a cd player application that can play the cd tracks digitally and pass the output through /dev/audio. An updated version of the cd player " xmcd " is such an application that can do this. It can be installed from the Solaris[TM] 9 companion CD (SFWxmcd, requires SFWlestf and SFWncur) or can be downloaded from the official xmcd website: Product Sun Blade 1000 Workstation Sun Blade 2000 Workstation Internal Comments None.
