[gentoo-user] Issue 3 - CD Playing

[gentoo-user] Issue 3 - CD Playing

[Colleen Beamer]

Hi everyone,

I have googled this problem and tried everything and can't seem to
resolve the issue.

My CD drive will read data CD's, but will not play audio CD's.  I've
tried with kscd and Kaffeine.  Haven't installed amarok yet.  I've
checked and rechecked my settings in the kernel.  In /dev cdrom is a
symlink to sr0.  Nothing I've read in anything that came up in my google
search helped.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Colleen

1. Can you try something that is not related to KDE like VLC (might need
USE=cdda)?
2. What use flags has media-libs/phonon enabled?
3. Which backend for phonon is activated (system settings -> multimedia)?

Did you check audio and cdrom (etc) in /etc/group ?

and the user group permissions in general.

I just thought of something, what about the permissions of the device 
itself?

root@fireball / # ls -al /dev/cdrom1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 14 20:41 /dev/cdrom1 -> sr0
root@fireball / # ls -al /dev/sr0
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Oct 14 20:41 /dev/sr0
root@fireball / #

Now keep in mind, I don't have the little cable thingy to go from the CD 
drive to the audio card.  So, I don't know for sure that I can play a CD 
either.  This is one bad thing about a Cooler Master HAF-932 case.  It 
needs longer cables and I don't have one.

I don't have such a little cable either.  I play audio CDs with aqualung.
The data flows from the DVD drive through the SATA bus etc. to the
processor, whence to the on-board sound "card" and then to the
loudspeakers.

Try aqualung for playing CDs.

I usually use my CD player for playing CD's.  lol  Now if it breaks, 
then I'll have to strap my case, monitor and UPS to my back and use 
that.  ;-)  Since my UPS is pretty heavy, I think I'd just get me a new 
CD player.

Could anyone imagine me carrying all that around to listen to CDs?  Man, 
that's dedication and maybe addiction.

Did you try to use "cdda2wav" to play audio?

Hm, trying to picture it (well, I don't know what you look like but that
doesn't stop me from trying)... :-)

Btw, DD - is that short for Dedicated Dale? ;-)

Just wordplay and "some" extrapolation... Dare Devil = DD = Dedicated
Dale... Seeing things, well, I have a good imagination! :-)

Oh, I don't do FB and never will... I'm not into that "outroverted"
activity (besides being a control freak). But consider this mail the
"analog" version of "add friend"; you always seem a cheerful and
friendly "chap". :-)

cdda is one of my USE flags.
Phonon has gstreamer and xine enabled as USE flags.  No option for cdda
when I type "emerge -av phonon", but like I said, that is one of my USE
flags.
Phonon current backend is gstreamer.  Kaffeine works with this.  It is
only kscd that is not working.

Checked this and my output permission-wise looks exactly the same as
yours.  :-)
