I wrote in about this problem awhile ago and never got an answer. This morning I was googling the problem and came across the thread I created on an archive site and looked at it just to see if there was anything I'd missed. There was a reply to it that I hadn't seen before, so I read it. I don't know why I never received the reply, but it suggested using mplayer cdda:// and posting the error messages. I tried it and it works; it plays my audio cd: mich...@camille ~ $ mplayer cdda:// MPlayer dev-SVN-r28058-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz (Family: 15, Model: 4, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong log. I checked /var/log/messages and there is no mention of kscd anywhere. dmesg has the same two lines repeated over and over again: i2c-adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x40, len=3 i2c-adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x40, len=2 with one variation at the very top: adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x40, len=2 If I try to play my CD in VLC, I get this error: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/hda'. Check the log for details. but I can't find VLC's log file. Can anyone clue me in to where it is?
