Have you tried chmod 4777 on the device? But I suspect this isn't the real cause; how did you install oss (i.e. were you root)? Did you follow the README in the documentation? It should work fine... k. : :I was happy to see that oss finally released a beta driver for my sound :card. I downloaded the demo version, and installed it without :difficulty. However, it seems that I can only play CD's as root. When :I log on as a normal user, I get the message: : :CDROM read or access error. :Please make sure you have access permissions to: :/dev/cdrom : :I checked permissions on the file and find the following: : :lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 25 13:44 /dev/cdrom -> hdd : :Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working?
