Grr, stupid cd player won't play audio cds for normal user
Hello,
My dvd-rom/cd-rw 's work fine under my normal user account for data, but will only play audio cds under root (I've tried kscd, xmms, and the konquerer audio preview only works for root as well).
All the programs won't even recognize that there is an audio cd in the drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this, my user account is in groups [audio, cdrom, floppy, users, video, and wheel]
Like I said, data cds work fine, just audio cds wont work under my normal user account for either drive using any program, but it all works perfectly for root. I just installed slack on a friends comp and didnt have this problem, so I am very confused.
