Cannot Burn Audio CD With K3B

[banjo]

When I try to burn an audio CD using K3B, I

get driver errors. This happens when I try to burn

either .wav or .ogg files.

 

Data CD's work just fine for both CD-RW and CD-R

 

Here is the error I get:

 

No cdrdao driver found.

Please select one manually in the device settings.

For most current drives this would be 'generic-mmc'.

... etc........

 

My drive is a Plextor, and other than this problem

it seems to work fine.

 

This must be a setup problem.

I found the following advice on Google:

 

Cdrdao sometimes fails to detect the device type. In this case set the type

to "generic-mmc" in the K3B settings.

 

I cannot find any such setting in K3B.

 

Can anybody help?

 

Thanks in advance.

Do you have cdrdao installed?

Type

which cdrdao

to find out.

 

Next step: in 'settings' go to 'configure k3b' and check there for the generic-mmc setting.

What artee said in the second step. The first time I tried to burn an audio cd, I discovered a set-up step that I had missed. The program does not assume anything. Even though you must have cdrdao installed for it to work, you must also select it in the set-up.

I had the same problem with ML10.0. Worked with 9.2. I was unable to make it work so far. I gave up now. I don't know if this issue was signaled in bugzilla as I currently don't have time to waste on a so unpractical tool.

Oh, thank you thank you thank you!

 

:D

 

I do have cdrdao installed, but in Setup CD Devices the driver was set

to Auto, and there was no indication that it was clickable.

 

I had clicked on "Cdrdao driver:" and it did nothing, so I could

not figure out how to select a different driver.

 

Finally I clicked on "Auto" and the dropdown menu appeared.

 

Doh!

 

Selecting generic-mmc did the trick. I wrote the disk

and it works in the player.

 

Thanks again for the help. This board is great.

 

Linux rocks!
