No way to play audio CDs

[skierpage]

Device Notifier, Solid/udev, /dev , or music player problem?

Typically /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom1 is a symbolic link to /dev/sr0. In a terminal, enter ls -l /dev/cdrom* . I have a system with two CD-R drives and it also has /dev/cdrom2 as a symlink to /dev/sr1.

You aren't entirely clear about what your problem is. Is it that when you insert an audio CD the Device Notifier actions for some audio players don't work, or that the wrong default device is offered in Media > Open Disc, or is it that even when you explicitly choose to open the appropriate device it doesn't work?

The first might be a problem with System Settings > Device Actions and the second a problem with Solid and/or udisks & udev. I've had both problems with my dual CD-R hardware. For the first, https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/709868 helped me out, I'm afraid I can't remember the specific steps I took to fix it. For the second, it seems VLC's menu always defaults to /dev/cdrom and I don't have one, I don't know whether the best fix is to tweak VLC or create a /dev/cdrom symlink myself. (I don't use Amarok.)

Sorry, I'll try to explain myself clearer.
-In Amarok, nothing works for play audio CDs.
-KsCD seems that only works when you start the system when the audio CD previously inserted.
-In VLC, it works perfectly when I choose "Open with VLC..." in the Device notifier. Until now, in previous versions, doing Media/Open disc has always worked, but now if it's written /dev/cdrom it doesn't work, doing media/open disc only works if I write /dev/sr0

P.S: By the way, I use Amarok 2.5, dequire.
