I decided i wanted to listen to some music so i poped in a cd of mine and loaded up KsCD, it said no premission so i chmod 777 /dev/cdrom/ and that worked, but no sound is coming out whne volume is up when i have a cd in, what is up with this?
Its usually a better idea to add your user to a security group that has access to the required device rather than just changing its permissions to 777.
I have had similar problems with audio cd playback and at the time suspected it was connected with running scsi emulation on the drives. Do you have ide-scsi support enabled? Its just a guess really though as I never got around to testing the theory.
I agree w/spooky. There seems to be a common issue of late with Linux having issues with audio CD playback, though. Can you get audio CD via another applications, such as XMMS or Noatun? Can you rip wavs from an audio CD? If yes, then the problem is likely with KsCD alone, if nothing sees audio CDs, check the /etc/fstab entry for allowable types.
