Unable to listen to any audio Discs

Basically put, I cannot listen to any audio disc. Normal data discs (ISO9660) work fine, but audio discs are completely unrecognizable.

I can confirm that the audio discs work (they work on another computer with windows). Also the main user is part of the optical group

Many applications, including VLC, cdparanoia and xmms are unable to detect or read the audio disc when its in the drive. This is the output that cdparania gives with cdparanoia -vsQ

cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008)

Using cdda library version: 10.2
Using paranoia library version: 10.2
Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI/MMC interface
                SG_IO device: /dev/sr0

CDROM model sensed sensed: PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-107D 1.22

Checking for SCSI emulation...
        Drive is ATAPI (using SG_IO host adaptor emulation)

Checking for MMC style command set...
        Drive is MMC style
004: Unable to read table of contents header

Unable to open disc.  Is there an audio CD in the drive?

This is what VLC gives

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.

And the log says

cdda error: could not read TOCHDR
cdda error: no audio tracks found
main error: open of `cdda:///dev/sr0' failed: could not create access

The computer im on currently has KDE4.2, and mounting normal data discs work without any issues. This is what fstab looks like (the computer only has one disc drive)

Anyone have any ideas

Re: Unable to listen to any audio Discs

I just started getting this too and cd play had worked before.
Is it possible that my recent installantion of virtualbox PUEL could be breaking it? The only other recent changes were regular updates and some webkit stuff.

Arch x64 KdeMod 4.2

Reboots solve many things

Re: Unable to listen to any audio Discs

Reading audio CDs from the host drive in VirtualBox VMs has been broken for a while now. (I don't know if that applies to the OP as well.)

Re: Unable to listen to any audio Discs

The issue was just reading it normally, but if worked for me after a reboot.
