Anders,
Check the permissions on /dev/sg0. Also check that the module sg is loaded. Also check which device audiocd is set to in Control centre->sound->Audio IO Slave
Thanks very much for the reply. /dev/sg0 was set as follows: owner- root and group- disk. I added rwx privileges to the group. The audiocd device is set to "Determine device automatically. I have experimented with audiocd device set to /dev/cdrom and /dev/sr0 I have changed owner and group of sg0 to mikecoan and users respectively. I added suid privileges to owner of sr0 and sg0. I can paly audio Cd's with both Kscd and Xmms. i just can't get the Audio CD browser to read them. Currently both sr0 and sg0 are owned by mikecoan and group =users. Permissions for both are rwx------ /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrecorder both link to sr0 When this worked in 7.3, I had a dvd on /hdd. I am woondering if the hdc=ide-scsi is causing a problem with the audiocd browser. Mike -- Michael A.
