Winamp Question - I can play but not hear CD's???

[gtd2000]

When using Winamp I can listen to all my MP3's etc, but put in a CD and it will auto-play using Winamp but no sound?

When I try using Windows Media Player/CD Player etc it's fine?

What gives?

 

[pugh]

Same thing has happened to me. i would like help on that too.

 

[gtd2000]

It's a bit weird - auto-play but no sounds?

 

[Shack70]

stupid question, but do you guys have a connector from your soundcard to you cd-rom drive? If not, you can't hear audio from a cd

 

[pugh]

of course

 

[gtd2000]

yes... hehe.. other apps play them no problem though..

Go to device manager, and try checking &quot;Use Digital Audio&quot; under your CD drive's properties. Not sure if that will help, but worth a try.

 

[gtd2000]

Ehm.....the CD Player works with other programs..... *cough*

 

[gtd2000]

From Winamp I have the CD option already though?

 

[gtd2000]

I just DL'd the latest drivers for Win ME for my SBlive DE - Winamp never sounded so good - weird....but nice

 

[gtd2000]

And guess what - Winamp CD works....woo

 

[pugh]

where did you get drivers at.also what is the soundblaster live DE ? i have the live X-gamer,is that the same ?

 

[gtd2000]

OK Pugh,
go here and get the latest driver - I'm using Win ME not that that should make any difference really for Winamp.

All the cards are basically the same - it's only the software that varies.
My card is the SBLive &quot;Digital Entertainment&quot; - basically no frills with digital output built in

The file is an &quot;auto-update&quot; type - very easy to install (famous last words - hehe) hopefully it will be the same for you.

Let me know how you get on

 

[gtd2000]

The file I DL'd was called SBLWMEDrv and it's 5.19 MB (5,447,875 bytes) - hope you are on cable/DSL

 

[gtd2000]

Well I might be able to play CD's thru Winamp - but bloody hell - Counterstrike is forever locking up on me now - think I might just need to uninstall ME Liveware.....just go back to the drivers.

 

[pugh]

Oh i see i already had those drivers and i do have dsl and win me too,man iam stuck .

 

[gtd2000]

Still not working?
Guess the next step is uninstall the card and re-install the drivers?
Or perhaps just use a different player for CD's...

 

[pugh]

yeah guess i just use WMP to play them for now.

I had this similar problem before. I found the thing that was a problem. You have to go the preference for winamp and for input plugin, select the CD in plugin. It worked for me. Good luck to you all.
