Can not play audio CD

[PelleB]

Time does not move on. Running the programs as root (with sudo), does not change the behaviour.

I confirm. cdda-player, workbone, dcd cannot play audio cd's.
As i said in previous post use parole or vlc or smplayer or mplayer.

[PelleB]

Yes, I could use mplayer or vlc, but it is not really what I want. I want something that just plays CD's, not necessarily a dockapp, but something like it. Just play, or choose track and play. I had something like that in OS/2 and used it a lot.

Maybe it would be a good idea to remove dcd, grip2 etc from the repositories?

Just a thought, but maybe when playing audio cd, these players require an analog cable between your CD player and your sound card. Maybe they can't do digital extraction.

[PelleB]

That is a possible. I have not checked if there is a cable or if I could connect one, but it would explain the connection error.

Anyway, I give up on this. It is not a simple way to play a CD, and that is what I wanted to do. Thanks for your advice!
