no audio cd found

[Andrei Buneyeu]

I want to convert Audio CD. When I choose File -> Add CD Tracks soundKonverter tells me "No Audio CD Found". It`s ok with my CD-ROM and system configuration, i think, because Dolphin detects my disk well.
Now I can convert my cd using soundKonverter only by choosing right variant in autorun menu, and it doesn`t satisfy me by different reasons.

so soundkonverter can actually rip the cd but can't query for cds?
are you using kde4? i'm not using kde4/ubuntu and i don't know if the kde3 device demon is running.
and what do you mean by "it doesn`t satisfy me by different reasons"?

[Andrei Buneyeu (yankeppey)]

Yes, soundkonverter can convert the cd well, but it doesn`t detect it. No, i`m using KDE 3.5.9.
It`s not comfortable always to choose right variant in autorun menu, because sometimes i forget add all needed tracks to list. In that way I must close soundkonverter, and run autorun menu twice to call soundkonverter at second time.
Do you understand me? (my english is very bad)

[Daniel Faust (hessijames)]

ok, could you run soundkonverter from konsole, try to add audio cd tracks and post the output.
also you could post the output of 'dcop kded mediamanager fullList' (only the - maybe last - block with "media/audiocd" in it is needed) maybe that could help, too.
and you could try to play the audio cd with kaffeine (that's where i got the code for audio cd detection from).
and yes, i understand you ;) i'm not a native speaker either.

[Andrei Buneyeu (yankeppey)]

So, when i try add audio cd tracks soundkonverter says:
"QLayout "topGridLayout" added to CDOpener "CDOpener", which already has a layout"

The last block of 'dcop kded mediamanager fullList':
---
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part_1_size_513726464
scd0
Audio CD

false
/dev/scd0

false
audiocd:/?device=/dev/scd0
media/audiocd

false
---

And what about kaffeine... It`s really interesting, kaffeine can`t detect my cd. Oops!.. Amarok can`t play audio cd too :( So, maybe it`s not only your problem...

Dolphin open Audio CD correctly, in address bar i can see "system:/media/scd0/". Dolphin shows me list of wav-files, and folders "cda", "mp3", "Ogg Vorbis", etc. Some applications (like Konquerror) try to open Audio CD as "audiocd:/", and it doesn`t work correctly. It shows same folders which Dolphin showed, but this folders are without any files. Maybe our problem has beginning from here.

Have you any ideas?

I just get "No audio CD found" and I can load them in Amarok and I can use K3b to rip CD's but only into OggVorbis. Issue with lame settings so another thing to figure out.

Frustrating. I can then turn the Ogg files into whatever I want. but lossy to lossy isn't so good I think.

what aboud running:

soundkonverter --rip /dev/your_cd_device

would be interesting if that worked.
