Hi all,
I seem to be having extraordinary problems getting my cd/dvd drives working on my newly built system.
ALSA works fine via spdif on mythtv - but I can't get dvds to play or cds to play no matter how I try.
Do I have to have the audio out cable from the cd player or will the sata2cable support the streaming of the cd audio by default (what I suspect since one of my dvd drives does have a connector for that but the other does not!)
IU want to set the system up with one drive dedicated to DVD playback and one for CDs (and writing of data)
I posted this question in a way that I think was too confusing before. Hopefully taking it from this angle will help.
It may be permissions related or mount options related too I guess:
some details:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
MPlayer or xine don't seem to think they can play the dvd even though it mounts and is at the right location.
cdplay seems to think it is playing but there is no audio - just track sequence in silence.
Code:
mythology bdrom # cdplay -d /dev/sr1 -c -v
Playing from CD-Track: 1
Playing cd-track: 1 [05:36]
I may need some help with my alsa config but that is enough information to get someone to give me a headstart?
TIA
Will
