[deathadder]

ive just installed suse 8.0 and have a problem with playin audio cds, i know its not the way my sound card is configured for two reasons

1) i get sounds when loggin and close/opening apps

2) when i go to browse a cd i get the following error message

Could not mount device.

The reported error was:

/dev/cdrom: Input/output error

mount: you must specify the
file system type

You cannot mount a audio cd since it does not contain a filesystem.

Have you tried one of the cd player apps that are included with your distro?

If KDE, they would be in the multimedia menu.

ive tried all the cd playin apps that came with the distro still no luck

any suggestion would be great even though its not a majour problem i still would like to get it sorted

thanks

I don't know if this will be helpful but I had this problem when I first installed SuSE. The problem was caused by my computer having 2 CD devices a recorder and a ROM. I found that the audio apps were looking to play on my CDROM not my recorder. when I configured the individual app to look at my recorder under options/setup and audio device it solved the problem. So I would check the device your apps are trying to use. I apoligize if you already checked this.

Good luck
