This reminds me of a (likely unrelated) problem I have. I used to have a PATA DVD drive, and audio CDs worked fine. I switched to a SATA DVD drive, and audio CDs don't work. This problem exists in 2008.11 and 2009.6 and Fedora 10. I would have concluded my drive is junk, but audio CDs work fine if I boot into Windows.
Ryhthmbox and Sound Juicer certainly don't work, but I haven't tried to debug them since I really want cdda2wav anyway. cdda2wav will create a track list and begin to "rip" the CD, but it creates audio_xx.wav files that are many megabytes of no sound. That's if I'm lucky. If I'm unlucky, the drive won't respond (even to "eject ..."), and I have to manually eject the CD with a paper clip. I'm away for a couple weeks, so I won't be able to do anything on the machine itself until I get back. It's an AMD machine. Thanks!
