Hi all.

Here's a hopefully simple question: I've got the audio out from my CD
connected to the input of my Soundblaster AWE32 card, and when I use
xcdplayer, I hear nothing. The CD is playing, and using headphones in the
headphone jack confirms this.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.0 (I know, I know...), and I'm using the snd2 driver
for the soundcard. It's finding the card on startup (although reporting it
as the SB16, which I figure is OK...I'm assuming the basic audio processing
is the same, and the other stuff (wavetable, etc.) is a superset of the base
SB16 stuff, and since I'm not using it, I don't care right now). I just want
to hear my CD's!

I'm guessing I need some kind of mixer program (like the Windoze one) to
bring up the CD input fader. Any pointers?

Thanks!
