But that's only a guess on my part. Unless I shutdown all the VMs and possibly also reboot the system to ensure nothing is left in the way I won't know. > > >> The listing below took about 1 minute to generate. > > Well, it did also _read_ the whole disk. > > cdda2wav was able to extract the audio data and would have produced sound in > case that the audio devices was accessible. > > If I got the problem correctly, then other software was not able to find the > right way to access the drive. > > Jörg Certainly, I do get that in my case it did read the whole disk but I use cdda2wav to copy CDs all the time so in my case I have no doubt that program works. However cdda2wav continuing to do the copying when it couldn't access the playback device seems like a bit of a waste, but fixing it likely isn't worth the effort. It would possibly be valuable for Colleen to run the same command also just to compare. - Mark
