    I just noticed that those codes are for jaunty I have 8.04 hardy. I already have media ubuntu added for it I guess it should work to just do sudo apt-get install for all the codecs in there right?
    Yes Hardy codecs

    reinstalling the codecs did not help. I could not get the libdvdread4 to install but I never had it before, I think that is a new one for jaunty. with an audio disk my error is:

    UNABLE TO MOUNT AUDIO DISK
    Drive /dev/scd0 does not contain audio files

    I get this error with everything, every disk every media player, and I have a lot of different media players. I just want to know if my drive is broke or my system. I think it is my system but I cant figure it out this time.

    I would do this:

    install another Ubuntu in dual boot (better 9.04)
    and see how it works.
    I would try OSS4, if my card is supported.
    and codecs form Medibuntu, of course.

    What I did I really don't understand why it fixed it but everything is good again!! What I did was all the stuff y'all told me to do, and it still was not playing. I noticed that the error said scd0 well that would be sata drive right? well my drive is ide so I rebooted went in the bios and looked at it my controller is ide like it always was but I have a external usb hard drive and also usb flash drive plugged in to my comp. Well they were somehow set to boot first so I changed that back to boot from cdrom and then hard drive and not the usb drives and then I saved and rebooted and all is great. Makes no sense other than the computer must have changed boot orders because of a new flash drive device that I started using to save some files on to take to another computer. I have rebooted before and that didn't fix my problem it must have been the boot order that caused the conflict!! But Thanks Guys!!! This is SOLVED I NOW CAN PLAY CD'S AND DVD'S!!

    it is very convenient to have several different Ubuntus installed
    and several browsers too.
    If one does not work, you can try another
