Can't play audio CDs with XMMS
I just installed a new Sarge system and went to play an audio CD like I always do by clicking on the open button and entering /dev/cdrom in the textfield and hitting enter. However, the dialog goes away but the UI doesn't do anything. XMMS plays MPEGS just fine, and gnome-cd plays CDs.

If you've configured the CD Audio player properly under Audio/IO plugins in XMMS preferences, try browsing to the cdrom mount point in XMMS' add file dialog, then click on Add all files in directory and Close. Note that your audio cd does not need to be mounted, but you still have to browse to the mount point for XMMS to show you the audio tracks on the cd. HTH, Jacob P.S. The above mentioned steps just worked great on my Sarge installation, current as of yesterday afternoon. -- GnuPG Key: 1024D/16377135 Random .signature #37: Are you tired of being a crash test dummy for Microsoft?

Hi Bill For powerpc you need to enable cdread (install it if necessary) in XMMS preferences and play from file /dev/hdc. And you need to be in the audio group. I know that macs are a bit funny in the way they play cd's so cdread is probably unnecessary in i386. However, the other two steps may help.

Can't play audio CDs
I can't play audio CDs on my Mac 8500. It's running debian for PowerPC, but I don't know if it's a problem with the powerpc port. I have /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd0 (first SCSI CD drive). The permissions for /dev/scd0 are rw-rw-rw-. I have esound installed. I've tried this with and without esd actually running. Some programs (like Mozilla :-/) won't work if esd is running. I know that sound works because I can use mpg123 and xmms to play MP3s. I've tried workbone, grip and the Gnome CD player applet. Workbone just prints its help message and exits. Grip will display the list of tracks and their times, but then the UI will become unresponsive. I have to kill the process to make it quit. The Gnome CD player applet will start showing elapsed time when I click the play button, but I don't get any sound. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, Mike -- Michael D.

Re: Can't play audio CDs
Are you able to play any sounds at all? If not, you'll need to add yourself to the 'audio' group. I suspect that you may be running into permissions problems even if you can play other sounds: ensure that your drive /dev/hdc is owned by group cdrom and add yourself to that group as well. (Remember to log out and back in, and) everything should work after that.

I am new to debian, but have a fair amount of experience wi/ Redhat.
