No audio from cdwriter
I have recently installed Linux as the sole OS on my computer.
Processor AMD Athlon XP2200+
512MB RAM
Soundblaster Live
One hard drive 80Gig WDC connected to primary IDE bus
DVD ROM H-L Data Strorage GDR-8161B on secondary IDE bus
CDWriter LITE-ON LTR-48126S on secondary IDE bus
distribution Mandrake 9.0
Linux kernel 2.4.19
I can't get audio out of either CD drive.
I can read files from both drives.
I can hear audio from other sources.
Mandrake installation set up the DVD as an IDE device and the CDwriter as a SCSI emulated device.
I can open and close drives with KSCD, see how many tracks s and their length, spin the drive and watch the counter progress but I get no sound.
Here is a partial listing from /dev

initially, cdrom2 pointed to hdc but I changed that to scd0 when I looked at my fstab:
[john@localhost etc]$ cat fstab
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
After reading a post on a similar problem I added
ide-scsi to/etc/modules. I now looks like this:
[john@localhost etc]$ cat modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
scsi_hostadapter
ide-scsi
from Konsole I can eject scd0, cdrom1, cdrom2 and the cdwriter drive opens
I can eject dvd, cdrom0, hdc and the dvd drive opens.
I don't know if my groups are set up right. I added 2 users to the cdrom and cdwriter groups:
[john@localhost etc]$ cat group

Both cd drives were set to "cable select" for master/slave. I read that cable select requires a signal from the CPU to work, so I changed the jumpers to make DVD master and cdwriter slave, but that didn't help.
I also tried removing the DVD player but also no luck.
Can you help?
Thanks, John
