I ran the commands, they both returned pretty much the same thing: all about ALSA cannot find card, card 0 not detected. etc. [/b]
which suggests your alsa is not set up, or does not have everything it needs.

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? [/b]
well, the commands I gave you, to produce audio, have NOTHING to do with an audio CD. If they don't produce sound, there is IMHO a reasonable possibility you have bigger sound problems than not playing an audio CD. (at least that is MHO assessment).

So I ask once again How many of the alsa driver apps have you installed:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...o/oss/suse/ppc/
alsa-oss? or alsa-oss-64bit? (if you have 64-bit), alsa-tools? alsa-utils? .... alsa-tools-gui? ... alsamixergui? Not having a PPC I don't know which ones are required.[/b]
There are also a couple of scripts you could consider running, to provide some more information. ... although I usually ask for these scripts on i86 platforms, and not PPC. Still it might help if you ran the scripts to provide more info, ... specifically:

please run the following two scripts to provide more information on your hardware. The first script, I think was created by IRC #alsa user gnubien, but I'm not sure ... To download:
<span style="font-family:Courier New">dmesg > output-of-dmesg.txt</span>
and copy the contents of text file "output-of-dmesg.txt" to http://paste.lisp.org or http://rafb.net/paste/ or http://sourcepost.sytes.net/ or http://pastebin.ca/ and then post the URL here.
