Hi there,

Installed the kx mixer. It's really amazing what sound it can create on mp3. Concratulations.

I have a little problem. Everything works fine with playing mp3 (winamp) from my harddisc. Even when the kids play games on cd-rom...no problem with the sound.
But, when i put in a music cd, there comes no sound out of my pc?????????????
This is also with the previeuw/play function in my cd ripper. No sound????????

Any ideas what the problem can be? I tried a lot of settings in kx-mixer but i can't get sound out of my music cd.

Thnx.

Activate digital playback for your CD-Rom drive. It will play then music via digital audio extracting over the standard windows device. The sound is far better than the analog connection you may have yet.

Maybe strange question, but how do i activate digital playback for my cdrom? Is it in the kx-mixer or else?

... go to device manager and right-click under drives your cdrom, then click properties, then check the box for digital playback (hope you´re on 2000 or XP), on win98 open system properties, multimedia properties, music-cd and then check there the box.

The cd drive is connected to your sound card right?

On the back of your cd drive you would have a connector for Analog output (usually a small 4 pin male connector), or a connector for Digital output (usually a small 2 pin male connector), or both. These need to be connected to your soundcard to get cd audio, and you should use which ever setting your cd drive supports (and is connected to the sound card), or if you have both connections, you can choose which one you want to use.

Depending on the souncard model, it has no CD-input (SB0400 for example), so the best solution is to have digital audio extraction activated anyway - it gives the best sound quality and you can use error correction.
