Having this problem on two different machines, both runnig 8.0. A different 7.1 installation has no problem. Xmms and Grip both do not find any files in /cdrom with an audio CD in the tray. Permissions on /cdrom, and the devices pointed to are identical between the machine where the audio CD is found, and machines where they are not. Unfortunately, I can't use the 7.1 machine for the sound editing work I need to do. Suggestions? TIA. Michael -- Michael Fischer Happiness is a config option. michael@visv.net Recompile and be happy.

Hi Michael, In xmms, try to right click on a free black area and chose "Play address... (Ctrl+L). Then write: /dev/cdrom (or /dev/dvd if you've got a dvd drive). /dev/dsp might work too. An audio CD contains no files in the normal file aspect. It contains tracks, what I know of. If you want them as files you have to rip the track from the CD. They will be saved on the hdd as wav-files. Use KOnCD for this - the Rip-button. You can play such wav-files with anything. You perhaps have a program wich will let you to manipulate these wav-files too, like audacity or Sound Studio? Then you can create a nes CD with KOnCD if you have a burner. Good luck, Thomas

Dear Michael, Your CD drive should have a volume control and a headphone jack on the front. Put your headphones on, plug them into the CD drive, put a known good audio CD in the drive. By design all computer CD drives will play the CD tracks to the headphone jack upon insertion with out ANY connection to a computer ( besides POWER of course ). Do this and let us know what happened.

CDDA settings tab. Make sure CD Device is set properly there.
Unfortunately, trying "automatic detection", /dev/cdrom, /dev/hdc, /cdrom, /media/cdrom had no effect. Still the same message as above.
Any other ideas?
TIA.

using /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom indeed got xmms to find an "Unknown/audio cd", but it wouldn't play it. Yes, I made sure I had an cdplayer pluggin selected.
Grip, which is what I really want to use here, consistently reports "No Disc". When using the -d option, only -d /cdrom will prevent it from displaying the warning window that it cannot open the CD device.
Michael; Are you shure this is a real audio CD, and not a burnt one by you? My experience with x-cd-roast is that, while burning, the end of the burning with "fixate..." (or Close disk, as it is called in some windowsprogs) must be finnished properly. No errors. No time out. This makes the disk playable as an audio disk, i.e. in a stereo device, and in the cd device in the computer. Unfortunely if this fails, the disk is useless. Trash it and burn a new one. Thomas

Yes, but usually it will find the disc in the tray (or mountpoint, I suppose I should say).

Good tip, I didn't know that. When I insert a commercial audio CD, and press the button on the CD tray which looks like a "play" button, it plays to headphones fine. This approach _also_ works with my problem CD. This CD was indeed burned "custom" (SoundForge), but works fine under my 7.1 workstation. So I trust this proves it is not a defective CD drive.

It is indeed a custom burned (SoundForge) disc. However, as I replied upthread to Peter, both commercial audio CDs and the CD in question play fine in the CD tray, using the headphone jack, etc., avoiding software. Other suggestions?
