What you probably need to do is add yourself to the appropriate groups. There's an audio group and a cdrom group and if your user is a member of both (I'm not totally sure about the cdrom one, but definitely the audio) then you should be able to play CD's. If you can't hear a sound, then it's probably a mixer issue and you can download a mixer program to mess with your sound levels. Once you've added yourself to the group just fire up a CD player and it should work. CD audio is one of the easiest things to get setup generally. - David Nusinow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
