First boot on MacOS. Once you have booted on MacOS, use BootX to boot under
Linux, and the CD player should work.
On my PowerBook, I have a selector to choose to what the internal speaker is
connected to: internal modem (so I can listen to the modem dialing), extension
bay and so on. When I want to listen to some music, I have to first start on
MacOS, and check that the "extension bay" is selected on my control bar. If I
turn on the PowerBook and directly start under Linux, I'll get no sound from
the CD-ROM reader.
I think it has something to do with sound initialization. Perhaps it's specific
to PowerBooks, so I may not work for you. Just try to start on MacOS first,
then use BootX and try.
