Sound drivers

[ryn]

I have an yamaha crw 2100 Adaptec Easy cd creator 4.0 but Windows Xp home
does not see it or recognize it's
existance.

Because of it my speakers are not connected either.
How do I get these two devices to show in the "My
Computer" listing of CD and DVD devices on the
computer? Where could I find updated device drivers.
Thanks

You have three separate issues, none of which are really related to each
other.

OK..... the Yamaha CRW2100 works fine with XP. It's a 16x10x40 drive and I
had one with XP for two years, before getting something a little faster
(52x24x52)

However EZCD Creator v4 does NOT... only v5.0 and above are compatible. You
have obviously upgraded from another operating system and did not use the
Upgrade Advisor or it would have told you to uninstall the program BEFORE
upgrading.

Now you will have to unisntall EZCD Creator v4.0 and then see Alex Nichol's

Speakers. They do not usually show up in Device Manager at all. The
speaker problem is NOT related to the CD drive nor to your incompatible
software. Speakers should be connected to the soundcard.... or sound
onboard chip.
