Default cd drive errors?

ok, ive got Fedora Core 3, and everything is going nicely appart from the CD drives, like, when i try to play an audio cd, the player just comes up and says "drive error" i know its set to the right device... but it doesnt work even in root. does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

thanks in advance.

well, i dont think its a CD or CD Drive problem, because i have a burner, and a ROM drive, both work fine with any other type of CD but they just dont play Audio CD's. it is more likely that its a PSU problem, if so, then why am i not having trouble playing audio CD's in windows?

Ok, well, we had to eliminate all the other problems first huh?

will it let you play audio cd's as root?

what software are you using, more info, more info, more info, nobody can help you unless your more specific, there's about 30 mp3 and audio cd players for linux, and a bazillion setups

Did this happen when you switched your Linux distro or this problem just started to happen?

well, its only been happening with FC3, i can play audio CD's with ubuntu, im just using the standard gnome CD player, im not sure if it has a name. i tried playing cd's as root, that didnt work either. im using the alsa audio driver. but i dont think that has anything to do with it because the cd player just says "Drive Error" ill get a screenshot tomorow, so you can see for yourselves.

what other info if any do you need?
