Make sure you are a member of the "audio" group. My mixer looks like: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/mixer Ed Sutherland wrote:
Ah! Now I can eject the audio CD. How do I set the correct permissions for me to use "Volume Control"? When I try to set my volume, I get this error:"Unable to open audio device /dev/mixer. Please check that you have permissions to open /dev/mixer and that you have sound support in your kernel."How do I set the correct permissions for /dev/mixer? Thanks.

Except in very unusual cases, you don'tmount audio cd's. You play them with a program that refers directly to the device that contains them, such as cda, xmcd, or any one of a large numberof other possible programs. Just insert the audio CD and direct the program to /dev/hdb.
