CD Player question


Hey all, I have a quick question about the Gnome default CD Player. I can play cd's no problem when I am logged in as root, but when I attempt to use it when logged in as a user, I get a "Drive Error" message. My fstab is apparently set up right:



Code:
/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom    iso9660    noauto,user,ro    0   0
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks.

I too have a similar problem, but its nothing to do with fstab, its because only root can play sounds

I havnt been able to solve it yet tho!

Try changing permission /dev/dsp0

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp0


and the cdrom too whatever device cdrom is pointing to

ls -l /dev/cdrom

then

chmod a+rw /dev/hdc or whatever
