Hi Gary, You may try the kscd (KDE) player, it'll let you see the number of tracks, so you can at least have an impression, if the problem is in reading of audio tracks or reproducing it. Another option is to try cdparanoia to get the audio data from the CD. And maybe you can also try to link your /dev/hdc to /dev/cdrom - this is what most of the cd-player software expects to be the source of audio. Also put a line in fstab to map it somewhere - I think XMMS needs that. I have a similar setup and everything works nicely ... Good luck!

Hey all,

I posted a question a couple of days ago about problems I was having with SuSe 8.1 recognising CD Drives properly.... I'd like to say thanks to all those who posted answers as things are now working much more like they should, but I still have one tiny problem - I can't play Audio CD's.

I have the two drives - a DVD (/dev/hdc mapped to /media/cdrom & /media/dvd) and a CD Rewriter (/dev/sr0 mapped to /media/cdrecorder). Mounting DVD's and normal CD's in the DVD drive works fine and burning CD's with the CD rewriter also works fine but I can't get programs like XMMS to play audio CD's inserted in the DVD drive.

I do have an audio cable running internally from the DVD drive to my sound card and I have made sure sound isn't muted anywhere... I have also made sure I have the correct permissions to play stuff but alas I cannot get this working!!!!!!!

I know you can't mount audio cd's, but how do I get programs like XMMS to play audio CD's???????? Playing location "audiocd:/" doesn't seem to work nor does "/media/cdrom" or "/media/dvd".....

Any suggestions?

Gary.
