CD playback with Sound Juicer is choppy

Post by nick »

Hi
Not sure about dropouts, have you installed XMMS-Cdread,(input plugin for XMMS that reads audio data from CDs
XMMS Input plugin which will read an audio CD as data and play it in
realtime.

This plugin works on many CD drives where the default CD plugin
shipped with XMMS may fail.)
To configure XMMS right click on on top letter on
LHS of panel , bit hard to see, Options/Preferences

Kaffeine does a good job as well
They are in Synaptic

Hi
Could you post the specifications of your computer, and spec of cdrom?
Does this happen in windows or other Linux, depending on what you have used?
Does this happen with home burnt cd's or bought ones?

Hi
Not too sure.
You could try:

Fix jumpy/skipping/choppy/stuttering CD/DVD playback:

Is audio ok with mp3's and other sounds?

It may sound silly, but you do have a swap partion?

Also some thing obvious, such as use
head cleaner.

Hi
In every variation of Linux distro/motherboard/soundcard I have tried, one
media player always seems to work better than any other.

For my set up Kaffiene seems the best, but VLC seems to work best for you, so
if you are happy with it stay with it.

Unless you specifically want Soundjuicer for playing CD's, stick with VLC

I see you have swap.

If you need to rip you can always use
Grip, Kaudiocreator, or K3B will rip.
Don't forget to install lame

If VLC works fine I would leave dma on.
you might have trouble with DVD's without

Just tried Xmms on my setup, no it does not seem to play CD's, but it may need
audio cable from CD/DVD, some read data cable, some read audio.

Glad you are getting something to play CD's
