well -usecd needs a number
(find it with mount -cd)
audiotracks should work that way.

Thanks, now the drive runs and its LED is on, but I can't hear the music (SFX/Speech is okay, tested with DSA1+2 / Realms of Arkania1+2).
I tried to play the Audio-Tracks with Kaffein, Xine and VLC ---> Okay
With KsCD --> It plays the CD, but no Sound....

Is there a special Sounddriver (or something like that) needed ?

I think you mean Das Schwarze Auge: Realms of Arkania not Arcadia.

Yes, sorry... Its been a while since I have seen the English Version - Title (It was in a Error-Message, I think)

It seems that the Digital Audio Extraction for the Audio-CD-Playback isn't working in Dosbox and Analog-Playback isn't possible (PC is a Notebook, with no Analog-Audio connection between Soundcard and Drive).

By the way...

I had just finished Realms of Arkania 3: Shadows over Riva (yesterday). CD Audio worked just fine for me but keep in mind that I am running it under WinXP.

WinXP is using the digital "Way" by default!

Do you mean that Kubuntu uses analogic output?

I think so...

Some Audio Players can use the digital audio extraction (in Xmms you must change it in the Options-Menu), but I don't know if and how to enable this system-wide.

Is it possible to tell DOSBox (or ALSA) to use "Digital Audio Extraction" and not Analog CD-Audio ???

sdl seems to "forward" everything to ioctl commands
and those play audio like a audio should be played (so analog).

So its impossible (at this time) for me to get use of the CD-Audio-Music, cause I'm using a Notebook with an internal(and a second, external) DVD+/-RW Drive... 😢

Make a .BIN image of the CD and mount it in DosBox.

Which tool should I use for doing this ? I only found tools for creating ISO-Images (which IMO don't include Audio-Tracks) !

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=32767 should create a full image of the disk.

Nope, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=32767 (or dd if=/dev/scd0 of=file.iso bs=32767) didn't work... Its just a 7 MB Image without Audio-Tracks...

I get this error-messages:
223+1 records in
223+0 records out
Segmentation fault

I think I have read somewhere (some times ago) that you can't do a dd on Disks containing Audio-Tracks.

cdrecord can burn them. Maybe it can make them as well.

I'm a little concerned that dd is segfaulting. It should not do that.

Well, I have 2 different releases of the game, the normal release and a Collection release.
I have tried dd with both releases --> Same result. I also tried to clean the CDs (using TFT-Cleaner Gel and Microfiber cloth)...

So its impossible to configure SDL or ALSA (or where the problem lies) to use DAE ?
