i am having trouble listen to music CDs on my system as root the cd will appear and work fine. However as a regular user nothing happens here is the relevant line in my fstab file:

Code: Select all

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro,user         0 0

I have also added the user to the audio and cdrom groups in the /etc/group file any suggestions

You can't access any CD as user?

If so, did you mount it?

You don't need to mount an audio cd to listen to it.

Make sure that your user is in the audio group and the correct voulme levels are set.

the user is in the audio group and the cdrom group in the /etc/group file the volume is on the correct level.

I can see the /mnt/cdrom dir but it shows no files

i can listen to CDs as normal user using the gnome CD Player application however xmms won't let me do it. Though it works as root any one with any ideas?
