Yes! :-) In my more "newbie" days, this was one thing that bit ME in |
| 28 |
the butt a few times so, I've learned to cover that base before I cry |
| 29 |
wolf! :-) |

Running kscd in a console as root, starts kscd. The first time I tried |
| 35 |
it, I got a message about "asound". I tried running it under by user id |
| 36 |
and got no error message. I ran it again as root thinking I would post |
| 37 |
the message, but didn't get any message the second time. |

Likewise, for kaffeine, but neither will play an audio CD when started |
| 40 |
this way either. |

I doubt that it is a hardware issue. The drive reads data CD's and |
| 50 |
sound works on the computer - in Juk (which I don't normally use 'cause |
| 51 |
I prefer amarok) and also in kaffeine, I can play an audio file that I |
| 52 |
have on my hard drive. |
