WinAMP/WMP will not play audio CDs

Tried searching through the forum, found similar posts, but nothing covering this exact problem. Here goes:

Whenever I try to play a CD in WinAMP, it does nothing. No drive activity, no tracks read, no timed displayed, nothing at all. Autoplay does not work either. If I scroll through the open browser and read the .cda off of the CD ROM, it opens the track, displays the time of the track, but does not play. Same problem also exists when I try to play CDs with Windows Media Player 9. It reports "0xC00D1197 Cannot Play The File" error. But with Winamp3, I *can* play Audio CDs, so the problem isn't the CD DRIVE itself. Also, Windows XP recognizes the CD as an AUDIO CD properly. Whether analog or DAE is used makes no difference. All other media (mp3 etc) plays fine - this only happens with audio cds.

I think the ASPI mapping is off. Does anyone know how to remap ASPI? And yes, I did uninstall and reinstall latest Adaptec ASPI - problem persisted. I found the exact problem in the Winamp Forums , and I tried everything posted there, but with no luck.

Any ideas?

 
Thanks ClueLis, but I tried it and the problem remains.

I have tried every ASPI layer ever made, and the problem remains. "ASPICHK" shows every installation installed properly.

If I can't come up with something quick, I think I'll have to format the drive and reinstall WinXP... :frown:
 
Did you try actually deleting wnaspi32.dll? I find that in some cases, I can't get .dll files to overwrite each other without my expressly deleting them. 😕

Anyway, I'm sorry my tip wasn't of any more help.
 
Yeah, I actually did try deleting the four ASPI files manually, I also used a couple different "ASPIkill" programs.

I even tried removing ASPI completely (since WinXP isn't really supposed to have an ASPI layer in the first place). Same Problem...

It seems that the Audio CD's show up in Windows Explorer correctly, but if I browse the CD and double click a .cda file, I can get Winamp or Windows Media Player to both open up. But when they try to open the file, they can't find it. It's like the drive letters for the CDROMs are messed up. I get an error "Cannot play the file"...
 
This may sound stupid, but I had the same peoblem years ago, and it turned out to be a misconnected wire from my CD rom and my soundcard.. Worth just taking a look at.
 
I'm running WinXP, so the audio cable inside the case is not needed. The music data is transfered to the soundcard over the PCI bus.

I only have this problem with Winamp v2.91 and Windows Media Player.

Winamp 3.0 plays audio CD's just fine.

This is driving me nuts, so I will probably just do a clean install of WinXP. My current config has been up and running for over a year now...
