I apologize. But the problem with root still remains...
First, it would seem sensible to clean up your first post by revealing the output from, say, # mplayer --noconfig=all --ao=alsa cdda:// Currently I don't have mplayer installed, only mplayer2. I would point out that this command still reads input.conf files so you might want to move them out of the way too. Secondly, most of the error messages involved alsa rather than the CD player. How does root get on with playing sound files from other sources? Thirdly, what's in /dev/snd? # mplayer --noconfig=all --ao=alsa cdda:// MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team Cannot open file '/root/.mplayer/input.conf': No such file or directory Failed to open /root/.mplayer/input.conf.
