Usually, Fedora will asign a symbolic link to your actual device (/dev/hdc, in your case) named /dev/cdrom, regardless of the type of optical drive you have, if you have a DVD burner for instance (like in my case) you may have actually three links pointing to /dev/hdc: /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd and /dev/cdwriter, all pointing to the same device. That usually is enough. Now if you are using GNOME and you are not getting any sound off your CD-Rom, even when it is reading, you may have a problem with the analogue connection between the drive and the sound card. Unlike KCD or other media players, GNOME's CD player uses the analogue connection between the drive and the sound card, rather than Dgital Sound extration method (like KCD or Windows Media Player, for that matter). I also use GNOME as my primary Desktop environment (don't like much KDE), but usually find myself using KCD for CD playback (as well as AmaroK for media player [.mp3, .ogg, .wma, etc]). You can use both GNOME and KDE applications in either. -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
