Angry No CD-R playback on VLC on Dell Inspiron 5555 A08


I just installed Manjaro Linux using the Architect installer on my laptop. After this I installed plasma-desktop, VLC, and inserted an audio CD-R80 disc to my computer's optical drive. After KDE Plasma opened the file in VLC, I get:

Code:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
