THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! That worked perfectly! I've been trying to solve this stupid problem for 3 months, off and on. I can't believe the solution was so simple! Thank you, --Fraser Hanson On Thu, 10 Feb 2000, Arjen Runsink wrote:

I've modified the permissions on /dev/cdrom, and they seem liberal enough to me: ls -l /dev/cdrom returns lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 17 13:43 /dev/cdrom -> sonycd likewise, ls -l /dev/sonycd gives me brwxr-xr-x 1 root disk 15,0 Jul 22 1999 /dev/sonycd
I know not to mount the drive before trying to run a cd player application, there is a CD in the drive, and my CD channel is unmuted. I'm running SuSE 6.2, and I have a Sony IDE DDU220E06 DVD-ROM drive. I'm using a SoundBlaster PCI128 sound card with Alsa 5.2 drivers. I don't think it's a sound driver problem, sound works just fine otherwise.
Hello Fraser,
The CDROM player you are using is a sony but uses an IDE interface. /dev/cdrom should be linked to probably /dev/hdb.
Check /etc/fstab which is setup by Yast. This probably has the correct device for /cdrom.
/dev/sony is for accessing a cdrom that is connected on the soundcard with a sony interface. Older cards and cdplayers use them.
BB, Arjen
