hi,

im a newbie who has installed slackware and all has
gone well apart from one detail that has left me stumped.

i have setup my cdrom so that it can be mounted with no problem,
and i can see and transfer files from the cd to the hdd fine as
i actually installed slackware from cd.

i have setup my SB16 fine(i think) as i can play audio (au) and
wav files ok..actually the wav files sound crap....the output
is very slow.

but when i run applications such as workbone,workman or cdp to
play a cd off my unmounted cdrom i get the following error which
repeats over and over.......then i cant do anything for about 10
minutes.

IRQ timeout?? (sorry im at work..cant remember this line)
ATAPI reset
media changed...

my setup is as follows:..ie pretty standard
creative SB16
creative x8 cdrom using ATAPI driver
kernel 2.0.27,slackware
ide 1 has master hdd
ide 2 has master hdd and slave cdrom

-i can play audio etc fine under win95
-and i am sure there are no conflicts of any sort..

does any1 know what is going on???..as every1 i know
seems to be at a loss for an explanation.

thanks

John,

Your cd player apps are probably looking at the wrong device. Try,
for example, "workman -c /dev/hdd &".
