Can not play audio CD

[PelleB]

Hello,

I can not play audio CD's in 14.2. I have not found any other problems with the DVD-unit, it reads/writes both CD's and DVD's (at least data CD's), the cdplayers I have tried identify the tracks, can open and close the tray etc. The only error message I manage to get is when using cdda-player, and that is,

Code: Select all

pelle[~]$ cdda-player -t 1
error: connection error
error: command data missing
 / 

I do not have a clue what connection does not work and what command data is missing. Maybe someone could give me a hint?

Per B.

Same here and nothing obvious found after a quick Internet search. I use parole instead.

Parole can play a CD, I installed it and checked, then removed it.

Now I did not understand, do I have to have Parole to be able to play CD's with other porgrams?

What other programs are you trying to play CDs with? Are you sure they are supposed to be able to play CDs?

wmcdplay , no error messages, does not play
dcd

Code: Select all

pelle[~]$ dcd
Warning: CD not found on www.musicbrainz.org

Obviously can not play cd not listed at musicbrainz
workbone, no error messages, does not play
grip2 (v. 2.96) just wanders through all tracks without playing them, no error messages

I started all of them from a terminal where I hoped to get some error messages. The problem seems to be that playback can not be started (forget about dcd, it has a problem of its own), if something were missing I would probably get some kind of error message.

No, I don't think that warning has anything to do with it. The problem is probably something else that happens down the line.

What kind of a PC do you have? Is it a desktop/laptop? Is the CD drive internal, ATAPI or SATA, or external and connected with USB?

Post the output of

Code: Select all

ls /dev/cdrom*

and also

Code: Select all

ls /dev/sd*

with and without a CD in the tray.

Also, post the last lines of output from

Code: Select all

sudo dmesg

when you try to play a CD and it fails. Maybe there is some error there that will clear it up.

Also, can you rip tracks from it with asunder?

[PelleB]

OK, the output of ls with and without cd inside as well as the last line of dmesg

Code: Select all

pelle[~]$ ls /dev/cdrom*
/dev/cdrom  /dev/cdrom0

pelle[~]$ ls /dev/cdrom*
/dev/cdrom  /dev/cdrom0

pelle[~]$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdb3  /dev/sdb5  /dev/sdc1
/dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sdb	 /dev/sdb2  /dev/sdb4  /dev/sdc   /dev/sdd

pelle[~]$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdb3  /dev/sdb5  /dev/sdc1
/dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sdb	 /dev/sdb2  /dev/sdb4  /dev/sdc   /dev/sdd

[   19.017839] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

And here is the beginning of the output of cd-info

Code: Select all

The driver selected is GNU/Linux
The default device for this driver is /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom is linked to /dev/sr0.

I did not try ripping with Asunder, I used grip2 in stead. Result, grip2 can rip but not play the CD.

The computer is a Lenovo H50-55 desktop computer, bought it in June 2016.

Ah sorry, I meant sr* instead of sd*, but you added the info I was looking for anyway.

What exactly happens if you try to play with any player like workbone or grip? Does the time move forwards and you get no sound? Or is it that the time does not move at all?
