I ran the commands, they both returned pretty much the same thing: all about ALSA cannot find card, card 0 not detected. etc. I just did a 10.3 full desktop install from the 10.3 ppc DVD image, so I would think I would have software to play an audio cd, unless codecs are missing in suse? I am new to openSuse and am usually an Ubuntu user, however Ubuntu did not like the display hardware in the eMac so I tried openSuse, which worked with it perfectly. Thanks for your help.
