Yes! :-) In my more "newbie" days, this was one thing that bit ME in the butt a few times so, I've learned to cover that base before I cry wolf! :-) > > > One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, > Konsole here for me. Running kscd in a console as root, starts kscd. The first time I tried it, I got a message about "asound". I tried running it under by user id and got no error message. I ran it again as root thinking I would post the message, but didn't get any message the second time. Likewise, for kaffeine, but neither will play an audio CD when started this way either. > That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you can look > for errors too.

The drive reads data CD's and sound works on the computer - in Juk (which I don't normally use 'cause I prefer amarok) and also in kaffeine, I can play an audio file that I have on my hard drive. > > Ma'am. < tips hat > Sir. :-) > > Dale > > :-) :-) > > -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
