Re: xmcd, using the speakers to play music cds how?



I can get the sound if I use the headphone jack so I need to go out and get a cable to hook up from the cdrom to my sound card, thanks for the info.  I however am still having one problem with xmcd.  I can use it and it works great when I am logged in as root, but when I start it as an ordinary user, the xmcd interface comes up and does nothing.  It just says no disk.  I ran the -debug 3 when I started it and the last part said 
Cannot open /dev/cdrom: errno=13
Open of /dev/cdrom failed
As I said before I am a member of cdrom and audio group.  I am able to mount the cdrom as an ordinary user with no problems.  Would greatly appreciate any help.  Thanks Clyde
