There's a number of people with that issue, including me, both here and=20 on the kde lists. FWIW, "the application formerly known as kcontrol",=20 now wayyy too generically known as "systemsettings" to be practical, has=20 some settings that kscd should honor, including the device for audio CDs=20 (see under advanced user settings, audio CDs). However, I've not had=20 time to look into it and thus don't know if screwing with that would fix=20 it, or not. However, I think there's other bugs there as well, as=20 there's sure a lot of folks with the problem, for it to be simply a=20 misconfigured kcontrol setting. I don't know if that's fixed for kde 4.4, now in beta with the release=20 scheduled for February (don't know when in February), or not, but there's= =20 a significant number of other fixes, including, it is said, the one that=20 prevents me from using the kde graphical randr (display, size and=20 orientation) to manage my multiple displays, since it's missing the=20 critical "position" setting, here and apparently on many Radeon graphics=20 chip based systems. I'm predicting that it should finally bring kde4=20 into what I'd call release candidate status (with 4.5 comparable to most=20 projects' X.0 releases, the kde folks /claim/ that kde 4.2 was ready for=20 normal use... and maybe it was... for the devs they seem to be targeting=20 now, but DEFINITELY not for ordinary people using it for real work), so=20 I'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to it. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
