[gentoo-user] CD ROM does not play audio CD's

[Yoav Luft]

Hi,
I posted a similar e-mail a couple of weeks ago and got no response. I wish
not to spam the mailing list, only for maybe a better luck this time.
My CD ROM drive had stopped playing audio CD's. It still works fine, data
CD's work alright and various programs manage to gather useful information
about the audio CD's tracks, but I hear nothing. I checked all controls in
alsamixer to be unmuted and at reasonable volume, but it's not it. I can't
rip the CD's neither. Any ideas what might be wrong?
