Can KsCD play music cds/dvds without supermount?

supermount has nothing to do with music CDs at all.

Why can I not play CDs then?

ls -l /dev/hd[a,b]
id

do that as a user. tell us what it says.

ls -l /dev/hdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Apr 29 17:27 /dev/hdb

ls -l /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Apr 29 17:27 /dev/hda

id
uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),44(video),1000(username)

I'd say, if you're sure hda and hdb are cdrom drives, go ahead and chgrp them both to the cdrom group.

Right now you don't have access to them, as a user.

Thanks, works under root now. Although what I find strange is that KsCD says /dev/cdrom for its source but I don't have a /dev/cdrom in my fstab. I am confused now.


Also, it won't play the sound unless I put headphones into the dvd player (havn't gotten the cdrw to play yet since I don't know the right path.)


I will check the sound connection to the motherboard and the cd players.


Although this is a start.
Thanks.

IOt should work as a normal user if you change the group.

Audio has nothing to do with mounting anything, thus fstab is irrelevant.

check audio mixer settings first, the cdrom input might be muted.

How do I do this? BTW, the sound comes out of the speakers on windows. (Using KDE)

That makes sense.

Not sure how that command works..

Thanks for the help, finally got the sound working after a long time..
