Fedora 11 no longer recognizes audio CDs

[Bad2theBone]

I'm not sure exactly when this broke. I had no problem with audio cds before with Fedora 11. I normally just rip new cds and play from the HDD encoded file. I believe the last time it worked was earlier this week. Now all of a sudden when I load either of my DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM with an audio cd it reads it and then does not mount it. I have no problem with DVDs or Data CDs or Data DVDs. I have noticed that I've been getting the following errors in my syslogs:

kernel: sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
kernel: sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]
kernel: sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Illegal mode for this track
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0

kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 5
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 6
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 7

I have found this error even when I didn't have a problem.

Exactly the same issue here. Anyone have ideas please?

Same problem as well here. I created my own live cd on July 19th, and that one works. So it is one of the updates that has happened after that, probably one of the gnome updates but I have no idea. This is a serious bug now I can't rip or play audio cds.

I'd like to add that I have the issue too. Once the audio CD is inserted, the drive disappears (maybe dismounts) from the Computer Drives Menu. Reappears once the CD is ejected.

While the CD is in, if you goto the Palimpeset Disk Utility, you can see the CD Drive. The drive is unrecognized and says there is no partition and prompts me to create one.

These are will legal Music CD that you buy from a music store.

Anyone else confirm their same issue with the Disk Utility?

It's not just an x86 64-bit problem also as I use the 32 bit version. Perhaps we can move this thread out of that section?

Moved to "General Support".

Thanks!
I found that downgrading to the previous version of udev and related packages from Fedora koji restores audio cd functionality.

These versions work:
libudev0-141-3.fc11.i586
udev-141-3.fc11.i586
libvolume_id-141-3.fc11.i586

the 141-4 versions don't.

How do you downgrade?

See this thread for my method how to downgrade packages:

I have the same exact problem. Is an upgrade coming around to fix the version that doesn't work?

Here's a bug report on the issue, feel free to add comments to it:

It appears that it is strictly an OS recognition problem in that it no longer places an icon on the desktop when an audio cd is put into one of the drives. It also seems that Rhythmbox also has a problem in that it too does not "see" a player with an audio cd in it. However, I am able to play the cd in Grip as well as rip it. Once it is ripped and encoded (I use flac encoding), Rhythmbox is able to import the files into my library. I am right now copying the same cd using Brasero. As I only rip & dupe my originals, never normally play them, it is not a real problem for me. I don't know if there are other players that also may not "see" the audio cd unless the OS does though.

Downgrade to udev-141-3 as follows:
$su
$yum downgrade udev-141

freakin awsome, ive bummed about this for 2 weeks and now its fixed(for now)

I am new to Rhythmbox, Gnome, and Fedora, so I am unsure what to expect. Rhythmbox will not play an audio CD for me in F11, but VLC will.
