I'm running RH 7.1. I received a Buslink CD burner for Christmas, and
installed it. Since I didn't have any more IDE ports, I had to use the
cable that had previously gone to my existing CD rom drive, thus disabling
that drive.
My problem - I now have the CD burner working quite nicely (using
xcdroast, which looks quite awesome, although I've only begun to use it),
but I've lost the ability to play audio CDs. If I mount the CD rom (I use
KDE 2, so I can mount either via the command line mount /mnt/cdrom, or via
clicking on the KDE icon of the CDROM), I can view the data on it just
fine, so it works as a data CDROM, but if I launch my CD player ( I have
several, using kscd most), it sees the CD, spins it, and appears to be
playing it, but there is no sound.
A couple of other facts:
1. I had to add append="hdc=ide-scsi" to my lilo.conf to get the drive
working (as found in the howto).
2. Kudzu apparently sensed the new CDROM drive, and added a new icon to my
desktop, as well as a new entry to my fstab. This entry from fstab is:
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
3. I also noticed that /dev/cdrom1 was a link to /dev/scd0 (I assume the
scsi emulation added to lilo.conf caused this), and my old /dev/cdrom was
a link to the ide device /dev/hdc. So I deleted /dev/cdrom, and recreated
the link so that /dev/cdrom now looks like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 29 00:08 /dev/cdrom ->
/dev/scd0
Before changing the above link, the kscd program didn't seem to find the
CDROM at all. Now it finds it, but even though it says it's playing,
there is no sound.
OK, that's all the facts I'm aware of. Does anybody have any idea why I
no longer have the ability to play an audio CD?
Thanks in advance for the help!
