Playing audio CDs with an drive that uses ide-scsi

[martin]

I know it might sound stupid but does anybody know how can I play an audio CD if all CD-ROMs/CD-RWs I have use ide-scsi. I have a Debian box and I tried all the cd players I can see when I do apt-cache search player ¦ grep cd but all of them tell me I have no CD inserted.

It must be something really stupid but I just can't get to it, most programs also says they encountered an IO error, I can't eject, can't play, can't control the CD device in abosolutely no way with these apps... and I know these are good audio CD that my CD-ROM can read.

Odd as it seems, I just tell them to use the IDE device name of the drive and things work fine. You'd think that would cause an error, but it never has. Debian Unstable on the box I'm doing that on now, but I think I've been doing it that way since I first got a burner.

Thanks dingman, I'd never tried using the IDE device to play the audio CD. What's more weird it couldn't actually start playing the CD at once, I had to first rmmod ide-scsi then it was playing it happily, even after I did modprobe ide-scsi again.
