Thanks for those who replied.
The summary of the suggestions were:
1) check permission in the /dev/cdrom...
2) check to see if the audio is connected on the cdrom
for the permissions: I have:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 10 00:11 cdrom -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 10 00:11 cdrom2 -> hddb
I also can't play audio cds when logged in as root.
as for the audio, playing music cds in WinME is fine so I'd say the audio
cables are ok. I had a look at the mixer (kmix) and everything looks as it
should.
Hopefully these would shed some light.
