Can't rip audio CDs, apparently since 2.6.25

Since the upgrade to 2.6.25 I can't rip audio CDs with k3b or asunder, and I can't play audio CDs in Kaffeine (which crashes), only VLC works of the players I tested so far.

K3b can display the track list fine, but when I try to start the ripping proces, it plays the sad tune. The main dialog says "Could not open device /dev/sr0".

The debug output from k3b:

System
-----------------------
K3b Version: 1.0.4

KDE Version: 3.5.9
QT Version:  3.3.8
Kernel:      2.6.25-ARCH
Devices
-----------------------
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H44L SB00 (/dev/sr0, ) [CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM, DVD-R Sequential, DVD-R Dual Layer Sequential, DVD-R Dual Layer Jump, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, DVD-RW Sequential, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R Dual Layer, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW] [SAO, TAO, RAW, SAO/R96P, SAO/R96R, RAW/R16, RAW/R96P, RAW/R96R, Restricted Overwrite, Layer Jump]

Output from cdparanoia -svQ:

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/sr0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device /dev/sr0

Then it tries a dozen other common aliases for the cdrom device but I don't think it's relevant. The /dev/sr0 is there, its group is optical, I am in optical. It used to work. I'm out of ideas.

I thought, sr was missing in your kernel, but it is here. How about  ls -l /dev/ | grep sr  ?

In case you missed this detail: I only have a problem with audio CDs, and then seemingly only with those players that use a particular method of accessing the audio data. Other players (notably VLC) do work, and of course data CDs automount just fine in KDE. Mount shows that it is indeed /dev/sr0 mounted.

I'm basically having the same problem. I can play audio cd's just fine from i.e VLC, but I can't rip them. cdparanoia -vsQ reports "No cdrom drives accessible to bjorn found."

2 hints: load the sg module; update cdparanoia to the latest 10.0 version

I had the same problem you were describing, which is how I ended up here. After a bit of poking around, I found out that I'd forgotten to install hal. Once the hal daemon was running, the problem stopped. Just throwing that out there in case it has something to do with your setup too.

I had the same issue, but using abcde. There was something in the (abcde.conf) config file to change cdparanoia options from "s" (scsi) to "d" (ide). That let me rip again. Not sure what it did internally in the abcde script but hey it works that's what matters right?
