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.

regards,
Lee
