Cannot play music CDs

arubin · 06-27-2004, 09:30 AM

Tried Xine, KsCD, XMMS. Nothing seems to be seeing my music cds.

KsCD is pointed at /dev/cdrom. There is sound when playing mpg etc.

I have ssci emulation installed if that makes a difference.

Make sure audio cable is connected between cdrom and sound card.

Try playing them as root, if that works then change permissions in fstab for cdrom.

you say you are using scsi emulation. check your /etc/fstab, does the entries there reflect that in combination with the symlinks in your /dev.

Regarding cables; I can play CDS from knoppix or Windows.

Regarding fstab I have no problem mounting cds

Here are the relevant lines.

/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sr1 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 user,rw 0 0

In fact I have kscd pointing at /dev/sr0 not cdrom as I wrote before.

Oh, and I have tried unsuccessfully as root

Could you be more precise ? no error message ? same if programs started from command-line ?

Did you try ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom ?

arubin · 06-27-2004, 03:05 PM

No error message. Clicking play just shows 00.00 on the timer. Same if from the console

CDDB show 'No disc'

ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom does not help

keefaz · 06-27-2004, 03:09 PM

Just to make sure, you have SCSI CDrom not IDE ?

Genesee · 06-27-2004, 03:31 PM

do you have correct permissions on /dev/sr0?

miqorz · 06-27-2004, 03:32 PM

Make sure you're in the CDROM group in /etc/group

arubin · 06-27-2004, 03:40 PM

I have ssci emulation as advised in the xcdroast faq

ine for /etc/modules.conf

options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'

(This tells the IDE-driver to ignore the two devices you want to use within X-CD-Roast)

-

Line for /etc/lilo.conf (add anywhere before any "image=" lines)

append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" (Kernel 2.2.x and most 2.4.x)

or

append="hdc=scsi hdd=scsi" (Kernel 2.4.x only, if the above line does not work

Just discovered that I can listen to music CDs from gnome.

My problem is in KDE 3.2.3 ( a recent swaret upgrade)

arubin · 06-27-2004, 04:07 PM

This is really odd. It is now working in kde. And the only thing I did different was try it out in gnome!

ringwraith · 06-27-2004, 05:16 PM

Further proof that Bob must use Gnome.

boolim · 08-21-2004, 09:09 PM
