Cannot play audio CD

netpumber · 2013-08-22 10:07:11

Hello.

I have a fresh arch linux install in my computer and i cannot play or rip any audio CD. I ve tried with VLC and with audacious but nothing happened. The /dev/sr0 exists as the /dev/cdrom (which is a symlink) too.

I read many threads in this forum on this issue but couldn't helped me.

Some more ideas ?

It could be an hardware problem. Please provide more details such as:

1. Were you using another OS before and was it working with previous system?
2. Is this problem spesific for audio CD's?

It isn't hardware problem cause before arch all worked well with ubuntu and slackware.

So as we know we cannot mount a device like audio CD or empty disk with mount command and thats the result we get:

mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

So if i try to open it with VLC it returns me this error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/cdrom'. Check the log for details.

and from audacious

No decoder found for cdda://.
or
No decoder found for /dev/cdrom.

I think VLC needs

pacman -Ss libcdio

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.

So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:

$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]
libgme: for libgme plugin [installed]
librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
xosd: for xosd support
aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]
libmtp: for MTP devices support [installed]
smbclient: for SMB access plugin [installed]
libcdio: for audio CD playback support [installed]
ttf-freefont: for subtitle font
ttf-dejavu: for subtitle font [installed]
opus: for opus support [installed]
