I compile by myself arts and now sound (system notification) works but i have still problem with playing CDs. There are no sound and if i play as user i got a message that there are no CD or i do not have a permission. I am a member of cdrom.

Thank you,

Mitja

Are you a member of the audio group? Have you set your audio cd playing program to the right drive? Have you checked the settings in your KDE control center for audio cds? You say you have checked the volume settings with what, kmix, kamix, alsamixer? Did you check to see if other volume levels are turned up, ex: line, aux? You can adjust those things while the cd is playing.

Have you tried playing the cd as root? Start the program from a shell with "kdesu kscd". If it plays as root, then you do in fact have a permission problem with the device and need to correct it. If you are getting no cd in the drive, then you may have a flakey drive or cd. If you are trying to mount an audio cd, it won't see it as a data cd. With 9.1 though, usually it automatically starts kscd, if it detects an audio cd.

Ok, one last item then, did you turn the volume settings up in kscd? It too has a volume setting and is set low by default, if I remember correctly.

Volume is set high in kscd too...

Audio cable connected from cd to sound card? Have you tried using the digital conversion setting to see if it will play without the cable?

Yes, is connected and now i have sound - i didn't change anything ):, but i can play just as a root, as user i don;t have permission. User is a member of cdrom, audio groups...

Ok, let's see if you can fix the devices so that your user has access to them also. Open a shell and type: ls -l /dev/cdrom (or dvd or cdrecorder) If you have more than one do each one and post the results.

Your devices should be pointing to either /dev/hdc or hdd or hdb, however you have the drives installed. If they do indeed point to one of those, then do the ls -l /dev/hdb or hdc or hdd as well and post the results.

My /dev/cdrom (dvd or cdrecorder) point to /dev/hdc & hdd. The /dev/cdrom is owned by root root, while the /dev/hdc is owned by <my username> disk. Do not make yourself a member of the disk group though, it's not needed and could prove to be harmful as user!

change the owner of it. Open a shell, log in as root: 1. open shell 2. su 3. root password 4. chown <username>:disk /dev/hdc

Now try to play your audio cd as user with KsCD program.

Thanks :)
