Troubleshooting Your CD-ROM
If you are unable to play CDs on your CD-ROM drive, here are a few things you can check to
correct the problem:
 Verify that your sound card is installed and working properly.
 Verify that the CD-ROM drive was detected when you booted Linux. If your CD-ROM
drive is an IDE drive, type dmesg | grep ^hd. You should see messages about your CDROM
that resemble this: hdc: CD-ROM CDU701, ATAPI CDROM drive or hdc:
ATAPI 14X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache.
 If you see no indication of a CD-ROM drive, verify that the power supply and cables to
the CD-ROM are connected. To make sure that the hardware is working, you can also
boot to Windows (if it is installed and you are running a dual-boot machine) and try to
access the CD.
 Try inserting a software CD-ROM. If you are running the GNOME or KDE desktop,
a desktop icon should appear indicating that the CD mounted by itself. If no such
icon appears, go to a Terminal window, and, as the root user, type mount /dev/cdrom.
Then change to the /media/cdrom or /dev/media directory and list the contents
using the command cd /media/cdrom; ls.
