Why install the on-board sound drivers when you've got the SB drivers ? Do
you have any conflicts ?
Try Device Manager to see if you have 2 sound cards or that your CD/DVD
drive is correctly reported.
You've obviously done exhaustive checks, congrats here are 2 more !
* Make sure your on-board sound card is disabled in the BIOS, thats one
thing you didn't mention.
* Have you plugged your CD/DVD drive into the on-board system or your SB
card ? Make sure the audio
lead from the player goes into the active card ie. the SB.
Cheers,
Jerry
| I could really use some help on this one, this simple
| little problem has got the best of me, for the pass
| couple of days!
|
| Problem: I'm unable to play *.cda files from pre-recorded
| music CD's using any media player, the ones I have tried
| and there associated problems include;
|
| Windows Media Play 9, "Windows Media Player cannot find
| the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly.
| If it is, the file does not exist at the specified
| location, or the computer where the file is stored is
| offline."
|
| Creative Mediasource Player, "There is another process
| holding on to the CDROM device. Try again after the
| process has completed."
|
| Real Player, appears that no CD is loaded.
|
| Roxio Player, it doesn't do anything.
|
| Now I can play DVD Audio using the same drive using
| Creative Mediasource DVD-Audio Player and all the above
| players play other media files with no problem, including
| those burned onto disks. Additionally it has no problem
| reading data disks as well, like I said the only thing it
| can't do is play *.cda files and one other thing to note
| when I go to "My Computer" and right click the DVD/CD-RW
| Drive and select properties with a audio CD loaded, it
| appears that the drive is empty.
|
| Things that I have tried:
|
| Restarting some of the "Windows XP Service" that I had
| stopped, all services are back to a default state.
|
| Uninstalled Roxio Easy CD Creator and Creative
| Mediasource and then reinstalled Mediasource and then
| Roxio Easy CD Creator, as per an Knowledge Base article
| at Creative's website.
|
| Used Regedit as per Microsofts Knowledge Base article
| 322642.
|
| Reinstalled Windows Media Player 9
|
| I have changed the default player for the different Media
| Types more times than I care to remember, tried different
| settings in each player.
|
| Uninstalled and reinstalled the DVD/CD-RW Drive driver.
|
| I know there is something simple I'm missing here,
| probably something in the registry, I did have some sound
| issues when I first installed this motherboard a few
| weeks back and as such installed and uninstalled the
| drivers and software for the onboard sound, a Creative
| Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX, and a Creative Sound
| Blaster Extigy, not all at the same time and most likely
| some time during this process my registry got hosed.
|
| System Details:
| Windows XP SP1 and all updates
| P4 2.6G
| ABIT IC7-G
| Samsung CDRW/DVD Combo SM-348B (Digital CD Audio enabled)
| Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX
|
| This has been a little long, but any help would be
| greatly appreciated.
|
| Thanks,
