CDs play in W98 but not FC2

[Chris Aitken]

I can't play CDs from fedora core 2. The CD drive sound cable is hooked 
up to the SoundBlaster Live! card (AlsaMixer reports it as "Sound 
Blaster Live! eMicro 28028") because I can play CDs when I boot to W98SE 
(it's a dual-boot set up). All other sound is fine in FC2 - I play 
.ogg's, and record/playback with Audacity. Occaisionally, I like ot just 
popoa CD in the drive and play it (as it is now I have to rip songs off 
the CDs just to play 'em). That slows things down when I have a guitar 
student and we want to listen to a song right away.

There is an onboard soundcard as well. I don't use it though as the SBL! 
is a better card (which I got to use with Audacity). Of course the CD 
drive cannot be sending audio to the wrong card (since we know the cable 
goes to the SBL! card since it works in W98SE). However, I did try 
hooking the speakers up to the wrong card just to hear - of course 
nothing comes out that way either...

Any ideas for me to chase?
