Cannot read audio CD, but data CD

[janxjan]

Hallo,
first sorry for my bad English. It is a school English from many years ago.
I installed TCL a few days ago and things are going fine. But I have one problem. My CD-drive is hdc. When I mount it with a data-CD inside, everything works OK. But with a audio-CD (*.wav) I get en error message:
mounting /dev/hdc on mnt/hdc failed. Input/output error.
There is no difference, if I mount it in bash or with the mountig device. My PC is a desktop.
I can play *.wav files from a USB stick or a HD. I think, there is something to adjust. Can anybody tell me what?
Thanks
Jan
PS: I am a Linux beginner

audio CD's can not be mounted, as opposed to data CD's.
Do not confuse *.wav, which is a format for audio data files.

In order to play audio CD's you need any program capable to do so, which would address /dev/hdc directly.

Audio CDs are not mountable.  You may be able to play them with an audio player such as Mplayer.

Hallo,
I installed "deadbeef" but the same error massege occurs. Mplayer works better?

Audacious works well too.

Hi Gerald,
its a strange thing. I installed today an old CD ROM from Plextor and with this CDROM DeaDBeef works fine. With the other device - its a DVD ROM quite new - there is no acces to the audio CD's. Seems to be hardware problem.
Thank you for your informations.

Poking in the mist - have you checked for firmware update?
