I can start playing audio cd's with cdcontrol without problem, but then they occasionaly skip to some random place on the cd at random times. It doesn't happen under windows 95. I don't know to what extent it's the driver or the cdrom, I've lost faith in creative labs, my last drive was creative labs as well and the DAC burnt out so it no longer plays audio either. > Now, here's the funny bit: if I use the MSF stuff in cdcontrol/wcd > by issuing a command like "play 0:1" instead of "play 1" then it works > just fine; It's only the ATAPI_PLAY_BIG command that this CD-ROM drive > has a problem with (which fits the error messages above; I'm just > pointing out that where CDIOCPLAYBLOCKS fails CDIOCPLAYMSF succeeds). Sounds to me like the same sort of problem, but mine seems to work okay to start with ?! > I do have an old kernel: 3.0-971006-SNAP from the 3.0-SNAP CD from > October. If you happen to know that this has been fixed I will accept > "upgrade your kernel" as an answer. I'm using current as of early december, I've had the problem since back with a June snapshot, IIRC I don't think anything significant has changed in atapi cd's for a while though.
