I am not sue if anyone else has had this problem, but here we go. When I place an audio cd into my cdrom drive, the computer does not reconize that one is there. I have no problems using software installation CD's however. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I am running Mandrake 9.2 and my cdrom is a phillips (not sure about model)

Data CDs and audio CDs are different animals. Perhaps you are needing an autoplayer to play audio CDs?

I like the one that comes with grip, myself.

The table of equivalents, replacements, analogs of Windows software in Linux

Sourceforge
rpmfind

You'll need the

auto

option in the 3rd field in the relevant /etc/fstab entry - ie take out the current iso9660 and replace with auto .

Ok, i did that, and when I boot in, it gives me this message

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device or resource busy)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

But i am pretty sure that nothing is using my sound card

Do you get sound when you try to play sound files (mp3/ogg/wav...) ?
Regards

Ok - post the full output of :

lspci -v

and

lsmod

Ok, I think these are right:


lspci
