smileychgo Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Does anyone have an idea of my dvd burner won't read my cds? This includes data and audio. The regular cd rom will play audio cds but won't open up a data disc. I used the run command "/mnt/cdrom2" and it said 0 files and 0 folders.

scarecrow Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) Audio CD's cannot be mounted... (no filesystem), they can just be replayed. Do you have digital playback enabled for your DVD burner? If you don't use an internal cable to your souncard you MUST enable digital playback, else- no sound. Also your command is inconclusive- it should first define the device to be mounted to /mnt/cdrom2 (which should already exist as a mount point), but anyway it wouldn't work for an audioCD, even if it were correct.

smileychgo Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hello scarecrow, How do I enable digital playback for the burner? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) One way is: put in an audioCD, then fire up "kscd". There from "extras" / "configure kscd" (the CD which you just inserted shouldn't playback yet!) and there define the correct CD-ROM device (or the device's mount point) and tick on the "use direct digital playback" box. Of course there are more ways to achieve that, but the above is pretty simple and straightforward. PS: if you use KDE 3.4.0+ you can even access the audioCD tracks via the KDE VFS. Open konqueror and type in "audiocd:/" and you are set. You can rip directly from there to .wav, .mp3, .ogg or .flac Edited July 18, 2005 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi scarecrow, Thanks for replying back. Got something weird going on here. First of all, when I first put the cd in the DVD burner tray, it began to play right away - and I didn't get a chance to configure anything. Ok - I put the same cd the regular cd rom tray and it did not play. I went to configure and unchecked the 'use direct digital playback' (because it was already checked) and the cd would play but there was no sound. I did the same thing again and replaced the cd in the burner tray and same thing happened so I checked the 'use direct digital playback' and it began to play again. Confusing I know. I'm happy that it's playing. Thanks again. Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
