Rodrigo wrote: Guys, I need help ! I can't play audio CDs. When I run kscd, I always get the following message: read or access error, make sure you have access permissions to /dev/cdrom. I tried ConfigurationKDESoundAudio CD IO Slave to change de device to /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom0, but the problem remained the same, same error message. I started ferretting my /dev directory and found these links: cdrom - /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (this one appears flashing on a red background, as if it was an invalid link ?!? ) cdrom0 - /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 well, all of the above links will end up pointing to /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd as /dev/hdc does. Seems to be everything ok, unless for the /dev/cdrom flashing in red. I can mount data cds with mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom but, if I use mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom, I get an error message, telling that there is no cdrom device (?!?!?). Another problem, I can't mount the cdrom by the icon on my KDE desktop, it says /bin/sh - permission denied. I tried /bin/chmod a+x mount and chmod a+w /mnt/cdrom but it didn't work. The message now is you must be superuser to mount. So, I can only mount as root using the command line. The final issue: I don't have a sound card, I have a media controller, an onboard via686a. There is no cable linking the cdrom device to my mother board, so, the audio playback must be digital by the IDE interface. At least that was the way I played audio cds in Window$. The question is, in case I can solve the access problem with kscd, how can I make it play in digital mode ? I am using mdk8.1 and I can play mp3, wav, midi ok, without any problem. In other words, my media controller seems to be working pretty fine. If someone knows how to solve this mess, please help me, I'd appreciate ! Thanks, Rodrigo I don't know if it can help but for me the only way to make kscd work was changing the file (home)/.kde/share/config/kscdrc by a text editor changing the row CDDevice=hda (in my system I connected cd as master and hd as slave to add a little bit of confusion), in yours should be hdc of course. Idem no way to mount cd from kde panel using devices like /dev/cdanything only way was /dev/hda; someone said some days ago that a program called xmms-cdread should read cds via ide digital cable; someone says it is in 8.1 distribution, someother says it don 't. bye.

Re: [newbie] audio cds in 8.1
I've worked on four different 8.1 installations that had this problem. All of them had the CD pointing to cdrom0, but /dev/cdrom was pointing to ../cdroms/cdrom0. Creating that folder and copying cdrom0 to it fixed it. Sorry it didn't work on yours. Joe On Wednesday 24 October 2001 12:23 am, you wrote: I did try your fix, but it didn't do it.
