cdrw not 100% via dodgy fstab


Hi
I have a cdrw and a dvd rom, dmesg below:
Code:
hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver.
hdc: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(66)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver.
hdd: ATAPI 48X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)
but i couldn't mount the cdrw so i added cdrw to fstab and made a cdrw dir in /mnt

Code:
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom       iso9660     noauto,owner,ro  0   0
/dev/hdd         /mnt/cdrw        iso9660     noauto,owner,ro  0   0
It works ok, i can mount data cds and copy files from them but if i put in an audio cd i get this error (as root) :

CD-ROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).
Please make sure you have access permissions to:
/dev/cdrw

I dont have a wire from cdrw to my soundcard but despite this is should play the cd silently . .

Can anyone help please ?
Thanks

well it basically says it all in the error ...
make sure you have access permissions
so with that said it seems that only root has access to it, and when you tried to do this you were logged in as a normal user ...
resolvment = change permissions
question = what bother if there is no audio cable heh

That was my problem, if im root i get this error. Suppose i can always go get a cable when it works, i just want to know that drive works propely, stuff not working really annoys me . .
