Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

Are you trying to read or burn a CD?

Does booting from a LiveCD work?

HOW does it not seem to be working? What is ON the disk you are trying to play?

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

@anonymous Trying to read, booting works.

@arochester Music.

edit: I put in another disc just full of files and it opened fine but my music CD's won't open. I tried the new ones I bought and some older ones that I burned but none would play.

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

Can you post your fstab here ?
May be it is not mounted at all.

Ha ezt el tudod olvasni, biztosan nem vagy rövidlátó.

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

Music

Yea. What format? Is it MP3, wma or wmv?

Are you using the Standard Version, based on Ubuntu or Statler based on Debian?

Ubuntu: Have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs  (or64 if that is appropriate). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

How are you trying to play/open the music CD?

After inserting the CD, you should open VLC and play the CD from there.

If it's not mounted then why could I see the files in my CD that had files in it?

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/cdrom'. Check the log for details.

Re: [Solved]CD Drive not working.

When I play a Music CD I go VLC>Media>Open Disk>Audio CD button

Mine shows the disk device as /dev/sr0 and it plays
