audio cd not working

smcsw2000 · 2008-02-12 04:08:39

I can put a data cd in and install/copy it, so the cd drive is working. when I put a audio cd in it will acknowledge that the cd is in , but I get :
Device doesn't have read permissions for this account. Check the read permissions on the device.
I go to fstab and this is what I have for cd/dvd:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
I know it is not the audio card because I have music that I have downloaded/ copied from a backup harddrive and all the mp3, .wav files play fine any ideas?

Is your user in the audio and optical groups?

You shouldn't have your removable media drives (cd, dvd, usbstick, external hd, audio players etc) in fstab. Quite often this interferes with auto-mounting those through HAL. Either let KDE, GNOME or Thunar-Volman in XFCE do their magic or mount them manually with 'pmount /dev/foo' (man pmount).

Ok, so much for that.
Now to audio cds. You're member of storage, optical and audio groups? -> 'id' or 'groups'
From what program is that error message you get?

Remember that Audio CDs don't need to be mounted!

hello, this is my fstab and the entries for cd and dvd were made by the arch-installer. is it better to change fstab and delete the entries?
als i have only one cd and one burner, so why there are 2 entries for each drive?
oh, i just saw that there is an error with the ntfs-partitions..users.noauto should be user,noauto. have to change this.

Well you all are talking over my head. First the fstab was made by the arch installer. I tried to change the fstab from
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 to
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 because when I go to media storage and look at properties, it shows cdrom/sr0
I then went to konsole and became root and did the following
gpasswd -a andrew audio
which then indicated that andrew was added to audio group
when I go thru the file manager and hit property it shows base url audiocd:/?device =/dev/sr0
device node /dev/sr0
and it still shows Device doesn't have read permissions for this account. Check the read permissions on the device.
so I guess that I am part of the audio group, I get this message when I try to use juk or kscd player. I haven't learned how to use xmms yet.

First, forget the installer. It should work ok, but I wouldn't use the config file defaults, neither for fstab nor for rc.conf (MODULES).
Second, read the above posts again and make up your mind. When it comes to CDs and permissions, the only thing that matters is 'optical'.
