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! :-)

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.

I doubt that it is a hardware issue. 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.
