cdplay and no audio

["Jeremy C. Reed" <reed%reedmedia.net@localhost>]

I have Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422 running NetBSD/amd64 4.99.55.

cdparanioa works fine to rip. (file says one track is "Claris clip art?" 
another is "RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, 
stereo 44100 Hz"

audioplay works fine to play these ripped tracks.

I use:  mixerctl -w outputs.black15.eapd=on

I have:

azalia0: codec[0] has no audio function groups
audio0 at azalia0: full duplex, independent
audio1 at pad0: half duplex

My cd is:

cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: <MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-850S, HB88  482625, 1.21> 
cdrom removable
cd0: 32-bit data port
cd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2 (Ultra/33)
cd0(ixpide1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 (Ultra/33) (using 
DMA)
cd0(ixpide1:0:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00
cd0: dos partition I/O error
cd0: transfer error, downgrading to Ultra-DMA mode 1
cd0(ixpide1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 1 (using DMA)


cdplay won't work for me. No audio. (mplayer and ogg123 and audioplay all 
work for audio for me.)

I also use "digital" from interactive mode and it shows:

digital xfer:   to /dev/sound (5 frames per wakeup, 0.33330s period)

(and then doesn't show the left and right volumes.)

play shows:

cdplay: scsi cmd failed: retsts 1 status 0

cdplay: scsi cmd failed: retsts 3 status 2

status shows it is playing and also I can hear the hardware doing 
something.

Any suggestions on playing audio CDs with cdplay?

I have used cdplay many times ever since it was available -- just not on 
this system.

Also, how come cdplay status will show it is playing and you can hear the 
CDROM hardware after "cdplay play" without "write" permission? I 
reproduced by doing "sudo chgrp users /dev/rcd0d". No write permission, 
just read. Later I did "sudo chmod g+w /dev/rcd0d" but that didn't fix my 
problem of no sound.
