How do I solve this Sound Problems on FC3?

evalastin · 01-17-2005, 12:40 PM

I upgraded from RH9 to FC3. On RH9 I couldn't play any sound as it didn't provide support for my ALi sound card. On FC3 I am able to play Audio CDs only if I am logged in as 'root'. Other accounts just generate a 'Drive Error -->' message on the player.

Any ideas on what d problem might be?

What are the entries for your cdrom devices in your /etc/fstab, mine are as follows,

/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

/dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

By the way, those entries should be on one line.

Contents of /etc/fstab

/dev/hdc/media/cdrom
pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

(d system is an old Toshiba Satellite s1800-204 with just a CD-rom)

Create a backup of your /etc/fstab and make your entries similar to mine and see if it works. This is trial and error, so may or may not work.
