Topic: How I got CD's to work

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Forgive me if others have posted, but since there's no search on this message board, it's hard to tell:)

I'm running XP, and I assume the same goes with Windows 2000.

Open the device manager, and right-click on the CD-ROM, and select properties. On the Properties tab, I had to uncheck the "Enable Digital CD Audio for this CD-ROM device", and I could use my CD's like any MP3 file on my system with AtomixMP3 2.1.

No reboot was required (on XP at least)

In win98:

Open the Control Panel (Start-Settings-Control Panel) and doubleclick the "System" icon.
Go to the "Device Manager" tab. Click on the (+) icon before the text saying "CD-Rom" and rightclick the name of your CD player. Now you can uncheck the option.

Greetz, ikke

I have win98 the second edition,, I already tried going into device manager,,highlighted my cdplayer,,,and went into properties and into settings,,the only thing there that was checked are: auto insert notification,,and disconnect. so can anyone help me..and I also like to mention that my cd plays fine in realplayer or winamp??

Some CD-ROM drives (mainly older ones) do not support digital playback, and it is also not recommended on slower systems (~200MHZ etc), so it's possible that this option may not be available when using some types of CD-ROM drivers. Unfortunately I can't get the Atomix CD audio playback to work no matter whether or not I have the digital audio checkbox checked :( Media player etc will play CD's fine either way.

Cheers...
