Hello,
I'm having a huge problem with playing cd audio with my 4 pin cd audio cable. I have it going from my cdrom to my hercules game theater XP "cd input." In WMP9, I went into the options menu under devices and changed the drive to playback with analog mode. I prefer analog mode becaues it makes it so the drive doesn't spin fast, and it uses WAY less resources. I can barely hear the difference.
Anyway, when I playback an audio cd with analog mode it AUTOMATICALLY enables the "CD" record source of my sound card. This is extremely annoying as the CD record source is only supposed to be used when one wants to record from the cd in a non-digital way. Why someone would ever want to do this is beyond me...hercules must have been on crack when that feature was added.
When the record source is automatically enabled, it creates loud scratches and artifacts in my audio along with ghosting of the entire album (sounds like 2 or three of the same song being played back at 2 second intervals.)
Any help is greatly appreciated! Btw, it seems maybe this is a WMP9 problem, or maybe it's a GTXP problem? If I manually change the record source in my volume properties then of course the problem is solved, however WMP9 AUTOMATICALLY switches back over to CD record source EVERY time the next track is played.
