USB CD drive won't play audio CDs

[Markus Hoenicka]

Hi,

I'm making progress towards getting most out of my TravelMate
8371. Lots of things work, but I ran into a problem with my external
CD drive, a Sony DRX-S77U DVD/CD rewritable drive. I can boot off this
drive, and I can mount data CDs without a problem. However, I don't
seem to be able to play audio CDs on this drive.

FreeBSD wombat.mininet 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 13 20:29:49 CET 2010     root at wombat.mininet:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WOMBAT  amd64

In order to get permissions set properly for this removable drive,
I've added this to /etc/rc.conf:

devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

and my /etc/devfs.rules contains:

[localrules=10]
add path 'cd*' mode 0666
add path 'xpt*' mode 0666
add path 'pass*' mode 0666

Plugging in the drive with any audio CD loaded (all of these CDs work
ok on other boxes) will print this info:

cd0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <Optiarc DVD RW AD-7700S 1.D5> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd0: 40.000MB/s transfers

(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition
(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:64,0 (Illegal mode for this track)

these messages are repeated a couple of times, probably once per
track.

I can access the information on the CD like this:

[markus at wombat ~]$ cdcontrol info
Starting track = 1, ending track = 10, TOC size = 90 bytes
track     start  duration   block  length   type
-------------------------------------------------
    1   0:02.33   4:40.42      33   21042  audio
    2   4:43.00   5:22.43   21075   24193  audio
    3  10:05.43   6:03.57   45268   27282  audio
    4  16:09.25   6:28.10   72550   29110  audio
    5  22:37.35   4:44.13  101660   21313  audio
    6  27:21.48   3:59.30  122973   17955  audio
    7  31:21.03   4:54.62  140928   22112  audio
    8  36:15.65   4:01.25  163040   18100  audio
    9  40:17.15   6:15.35  181140   28160  audio
   10  46:32.50   4:06.20  209300   18470  audio
  170  50:38.70         -  227770       -      -

However, trying to play one of the tracks fails:

[markus at wombat ~]$ cdcontrol play 1
cdcontrol: Invalid argument

Needless to say, there is no sound anywhere. In addition, error
messages like these are printed to the console:

(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): MODE SENSE(10). CDB: 5a 0 e 0 0 0 0 0 20 0
(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition
(cd0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REUEST asc:24,0 (Invalid
field in CDB): command byte 2 is invalid

And so on.

Is there anything I can do about this?

regards,
Markus
