There's a number of people with that issue, including me, both here and 
on the kde lists.  FWIW, "the application formerly known as kcontrol", 
now wayyy too generically known as "systemsettings" to be practical, has 
some settings that kscd should honor, including the device for audio CDs 
(see under advanced user settings, audio CDs).  However, I've not had 
time to look into it and thus don't know if screwing with that would fix 
it, or not.  However, I think there's other bugs there as well, as 
there's sure a lot of folks with the problem, for it to be simply a 
misconfigured kcontrol setting.

I don't know if that's fixed for kde 4.4, now in beta with the release 
scheduled for February (don't know when in February), or not, but there's 
a significant number of other fixes, including, it is said, the one that 
prevents me from using the kde graphical randr (display, size and 
orientation) to manage my multiple displays, since it's missing the 
critical "position" setting, here and apparently on many Radeon graphics 
chip based systems.  I'm predicting that it should finally bring kde4 
into what I'd call release candidate status (with 4.5 comparable to most 
projects' X.0 releases, the kde folks /claim/ that kde 4.2 was ready for 
normal use... and maybe it was... for the devs they seem to be targeting 
now, but DEFINITELY not for ordinary people using it for real work), so 
I'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to it.
