I can not figure out how to get audio CD's to work at all, and I've tried everything I could find on this board:

OS: Mandarke 9.0

KsCD Error upon starting:
CDROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).

Please make sure you have access permissions to:
<were ever I have it set>

Gnomes player gives simuler errors.

Can anyone help?

You have 2 CD drives, which one does KsCD point to? If /dev/cdrom then is the CD in that drive? or if /dev/cdrom2, is the CD in that drive? I remeber a long time ago aliasing KsCD to any CDROM drive automatically, but don't remember, and only ever use my burner CD to listen to music.

I've pointed KsCD to:


/dev/hdd
/dev/scd0
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom2

and yes there is a cd in the drive.

well, it isn't going to show up as /mnt unless it is mounted, and an audio CD can't be mounted. Both the /dev/* should be right, but you may as well try...

/dev/cdrom
and
/dev/cdrom2

Also, with the audio CD in, see what you /etc/mtab shows.

P.S. I am NOT a fan of Mandrake's supermount. They haven't gotten the reliability up enough lately. Probably trying to automount, fails and then leaves in a bad state.

ect/mtab:

/dev/hda3 / ext2 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/nt2 ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/nt3 ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0

Well, I can't see anything wrong. The last thing I would suggest trying is to disable supermount of your CD drives, but don't know how to do that (beyond what I have read, never had supermount, so won't guarantee anything about it ). I see a LOT of posts with flaky mounting/operation with supermount enabled.

supermount -i disabled

ok, I logged in a root and changed dev/scd0 so that everyone one had read/write and excute privilages. However now, the CD player in Gnome dosn't work. and the one in KDE crashes: I also can't figure out how to get a cd to work with XMMs, though I'll look around this board.
