having issues playing CD's.
I am using Linspire 8.5 and Freespire 5.0 and I have the same issues on both
I can play DVD's no issues.
I've installed Ubuntu-restricted-extras, Ubuntu-restricted-addons and vlc and rhythmbox but it is still searching the CD and not playing it.
it is a commercial CD legal in every way.
the system is not modified except for the ubuntu extras, dvd readability, and rhythmbox software
any other advice would by appreciated.
searched online under ubuntu 18.04 play CD issues but not a lot of fixes here.
thanxs in advance....

Hmm what programs have you tried, and what if any errors show up? Yiu could look in the system logs for possible reasons.

I have tried Amarok, VLC, rhythmbox. it is not coming up with any error it look like it is playing but there is no sound. there is no issue with soundcard it works perfectly with youtube, DVD's, videos on PC etc, even songs on PC work without a glitch, the issue is with CDs only. I'm at a loss as to what it could be which is why i am asking here. same with other linux distros. I have no error logs as according to the system there are no errors. ive even tried to remove error correction in system settings really dont want to go back to M$ Linspire (8.5.1) is the best I've linux distro I've worked on for ages and I've been using Linux since 2004 Just a but confused in this issue.  |

it looks like my DVD drive might be on its way out the door. Need to invest in a replacement This system isn't exactly new but dont really have funds to fork out for a replacement PC. Oh Well.. Guess Easy come easy go |

Guess Easy come easy go I might have an alternative solution. Email me: touraj@protonmail.ch On title, say you are from Lindows (Linspire forum). Looking forward, OK? |
