Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux After one audio CD is played in ksCD and ejected and another one inserted, playing the newly inserted disk causes only choppy random noise to be played. Even exiting ksCD and starting it anew doesn't help. I noticed this recently and of course it is very annoying - so far I haven't found any other way of making the CD playback work again other than rebooting. Strangely enough, playing with other software, e.g. XMMS works all the time, even after ksCD refuses to play them properly as described above. I can't exactly tell whether this bug appeared after I upgraded to KDE 3.3.1 or after I changed my CD-Recorder to a newer model (I have Liteon 52x32x52 now and I used a Liteon 48x24x48 before, so the difference shouldn't be that big). BTW, digital playback behaves in exactly the same way as analog playback.

Could you try to update to 3.3.2 and see if it helps, the patch I backported fixed a similar problem for me, although it wasn't exactly the same.
I will try to, but my distro's slackware and now with Pat being sick it may take a long time before binary packages are released. I'm a bit too lazy to compile something as big as KDE from source, but if official or contributed packages for slackware appear, I will upgrade and see if this bug is fixed for me.
I upgraded to 3.3.2 but the bug seems to be fixed only partially, i.e. now sometimes I can change discs and still be able to get ksCD to play and sometimes I get the same behavior as before.

KSCD was quietly ejected about two years ago since it never was ported to KDE Frameworks or Qt5. I'm closing this as "sorry, this is never going to be fixed in a newer product."
