Kaffeine can't play CDs

[daemon_vs_tux]

Hi,

I have a problem when I want to play a CD with Kaffeine. It is a music CD and not an MP3- CD.
When I start Kaffeine first, I get the message that there is no music CD inside the drive.
When I wait until the system starts the cd on its own, Kaffeine loops through the CD all the time and very quickly (only 2 sec for a track). This loop never stops.

I never get a sound out of my Sound system while playing around with KAffeine or an other CD-Software.

I also tried to start the CD with : cdcontrol start. Ther I get only a new blank comand line , but no sound at all.

I also can't mount the CD with mount /cdrom.

Could be there a problem with my DVD-drive ?

My /etc/fstab looks like this :

# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s2b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s2a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/ad0s1 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom0 auto ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto ro,noauto 0 0


When I trie to mount the CD via the comand line I get this message:

/cdrom: unknown special file or file system


In really would like to use PCBSD, but when I can't play CDs I have to go back to WinXP

Could someone Help me please ?

Mine does the exact same thing...in kaffeine...try right KsCD in the KMenu -> Multimedia menu. It works fine for me for music CDs

KsCDdoes not work. It only starts and then it does nothing else more .

Hmm, I wonder how long it will take Antik to say some thing about a cable between CD-ROM and Sound Card....

I think this is problem between chair and LCD, not cable.

I know. But seriously- all computers got audio cable plug for connecting cdrom but why it is not used is beyound me.... Digital extraction is hosing CPU and ide channel.

What a nice way to promote sales of new/fast computers

Microsoft any one? j/k

Make sure that Kaffeine points the Audio CD to /dev/cd0 instead of /cdrom.

Try that.
