hi_robb 0 Posted October 14, 2000 Lo folks, I got a weird problem with CD audio. I have a Sblive 1024 and installed windoze 2000. Everything seemed fine until I tried to play a music CD, there was no audio at all. I checked the cable running from the CDROM to the soundcard and that was fine, it was plagged into where the CD cable should be. I then tried reinstalling Liveware 3 and that didn't work. As a last resort i tried plugging the cable from the CDROM into the AUX in on the soundcard. I got audio. It seems as though i need to plug the cable into my AUX in on the card to get any audio from the CDROM at all. While not a dissaster it is annoying me. I tried a format and reinstall of Win 2000 this morning and that didn't solve anything. Anyone got any ideas? Davey Share this post Link to post
Toby 0 Posted October 14, 2000 Hi Try to enable digital CD Audio on your CD-ROM in Device manager. // Toby Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted October 14, 2000 also double check that it is not muted in the mixer.... if digital CD audio is enabled, then un-mute the digital cd in the mixer; if not, make sure that the analog cd isn't muted Share this post Link to post
hi_robb 0 Posted October 14, 2000 Lo guys / girls, Yeh I'v checked all that. I can get audio with Digital Audio ticked in the CD properties in device manager. While thats great, its still kinda annoying not being able to get analogue audio like i should. I do a lot of chatting online and the digital audio option does interfere with that, hence why i would like analogue. Many thanks for the suggestions, and keep em coming.

DocSilly 0 Posted October 15, 2000 Do you happen to have 2 CD-drives ? I know that Win2k only allows CD-audio for the CD-drive with the lowest driveletter ... weird but that's how it works for me. I use my CD-R as audio CD-player and I had to give it the lower driveletter. Share this post Link to post
hi_robb 0 Posted October 15, 2000 Lo again, I only have the 1 CD drive. Kinda weird problem this 1. I'm gonna go try a game and see if i get CD Audio from it, if I don't I'll have to use the AUX input Dave Share this post Link to post
