AlanSo, I don't know if you (or anyone else here) has any further thoughts/ suggestions. Google searches are now beginning to either throw backHave you run a mixer and made sure the volume is up and nothing is muted? What happens if you run aplay something.wav Nothing is muted - have double-checked and checked again - and as mentioned Rhythmbox picks up the drive okay ... just nothing else seems to. Tried to do what you suggested and even when directing it to the drive I either get the response that it is not a directory or that the file doesn't exist. I've gone through dmesg and the drive is definitely registered at boot up as /dev/sr0 but nothing touches it for audio CDs, except R'Box. It is really frustrating because it seems contradictory: KsCD can read the tracks but won't play the disc, Goobox claims its an invalid drive even when directed to it on the command line. Cheers AG |
