I have 14.0.3 installed freshly on Jessie on an AMD Cedar machine 18 months old. When I try doing anything to access a CD in either of the two DVD drives, http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/xsession-errors-jessie-easyst.txt (includes dmesg tail) shows some sort of audio setup problem seems to be repeatedly trying and failing. When KsCD triggers this, it gets hung by the problem. Simply logging out of the session takes an excessive length of time, and so does attempting to reboot. Holding down CAD produces a long string of failed to store sound card state messages instead of rebooting, until well over a minute passes. On reboot, journal recovery occurs. /etc/group seems to have the required user permission assignments. Aplay works OK on a test .wav file, and so does normal startup and shutdown system sounds. How can I tell where the fault lies? Could there be a broken dependency? I don't see any open bug that seems related.

On my notebook (intel) after starting kscd notebook rebooted - kernel crash. I tired in the vmware that I use for testing - the same result. In firt case I use 4.4.3 kernel. In the second the debian stock.
Did you try kplayer or VLC to access the cd?
No, but I got Trinity Kaffeine and SMplayer to work, so I guess KsCD must be broken. Jessie's already an anachronism, so I guess I'm upgrading this to Stretch. Maybe its KsCD will work.
