Re: [PLUG] CD playing/ripping


Ok silly question, do you have the CDROM cable that runs from the CDROM
drive to the sound card?  And is it plugged into the right place on the
sound card?

:Hi. After a long hiatus from Linux, i've recently installed Mandrake 7.0. Everything's going very smoothly, EXCEPT:
:
:1) i'm trying to use a program called GRIP (http://www.nostatic.org/grip) 
:to rip/encode some music and it says it can't "open my cdrom drive". (though it
:actually can)
:
:2) i'm trying to play CDs using GRIP, KCD, or the Gnome CD player. All open the
:cd, and play it, but none actually output sound. I have a SBVibra 16 using the
:latest OSS driver. All other sounds work, just not CD audio. I've tried with
:and w/o esd. Permissions for the relevant devices are appended later.
:
:I apologize in advance for the long-windedness and the dir listings, but i'm
:trying to give all relevant info/explanation.
:
:GRIP is configured to use /dev/cdrom, which is a symlink to /dev/scd0 (my SCSI
:cdrom drive) GRIP can open the CD for playing (though it outputs no sound -
:problem #2), but when I try to rip it gives me the "can't open cdrom drive"
:error - verbose reporting only tells me that "audio status is 21" when GRIP is
:idle, no additional information regarding inability to open /dev/cdrom.
:
:root can rip, but cannot play CDs (no sound output, though programs work). 
:
:the permissions when i intially had the problem were (afai recall):
:[mromano@hrothgar /dev]$ ll /dev/cdrom
:lrw-------   1 root     root            4 Feb 16 16:05 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
