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]

My fstab for the drives looks like this;

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0


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.

Thanks for any help,

-- Jason

Try add your user in the disk group
To make sure, what is the output with :

ls -al /dev/scd0

Do
Code:
ls -l /dev/hdc
because /dev/cdrom is a symlink to it.
If it also belong to the cdrom group, just open the file /etc/group, fine a line where it says
Code:
cdrom::19:
(can be a little different on your computer) and change it to make it look like:
Code:
cdrom::19:tdking19
