Greetings:
I asked this question on freebsd-questions a couple of days ago and have
received zero responses, so I'm posting here and asking the hackers for
their help. Here's the problem:
I'm having trouble with playing audio CDs; specifically, they won't
play at all. Secondarily, it appears as though if they would play, I
would need to be root to do so.
My system stats are as follows: <uname -a>:
FreeBSD dutch.freebsd.net 10.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p7 #0:
Tue Jul 8 06:37:44 UTC 2014
root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
I am issuing the <cdcontrol -f /dev/cd0 play 1> command and the CD
simply will not play (it does not physically spin). However, if I issue
<cdcontrol /dev/cd0 eject>, the CD will eject; if I issue
<cdcontrol /dev/cd0 info>, I will receive the tracks information, etc.
So it appears as though communication is happening, but the CD will not
play. If I issue these commands as a regular user, I receive a
"permission denied" message; if run as root, simply nothing happens -
no error, nothing. In fact, issuing <echo $?> returns 0.
I have read the handbook sections on multimedia and setting up the
sound card, and believe I've done everything by the book. For example,
<pciconf -lv> returns:
hdac0@pci0:0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x04201028
chip=0x3a6e8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller'
class = multimedia
subclass = HDA
and I have loaded, individually, both the snd_hda and snd_ich drivers
with the same result (the hardware notes are ambiguous on the exact
driver needed).
The only somewhat useful information is returned by <cdcontrol -v
-f /dev/cd0 debug on> which returns:
"cdcontrol: Inappropriate ioctl for device" However, a google search
has not informed me as to what this means or how to correct.
If someone could point me in the correct direction, I'd be appreciative.
PS - This issue is not limited to CLI commands; VLC will issue the
error "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/cd0'. Check the
log for details." There is no log info that I can find. In addition, I
can burn a cd with xfburn, but only as root. My fstab has the standard
entry for CDs. Sound does work, as I can generate white noise.
