togermano Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I get an error message when I run windows media player 9 to play an audio cd it says it can not play using the digital audio method and asks me if I wanna use the analog method.... If I do the analog method it crashes windows ME. It worked fine when I had windows 98 SE on the same computer using digital. Winamp plays the digital method no problem. I tried doing the unofficial wmp10 update and that did not help either... what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusDarkus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Your gonna give us a little bit more information than that kid. There is almost an infinite number of configurations that you could possibly have. Unless we know details of the system we are not going to be able to be much help.

+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted February 22, 2013 MVC Share Posted February 22, 2013 I remember they started to try and add some drm / odd stuff to some audio cd's that would play fine in a normal cd player, but on software could act differently. Or does it have newer features such Audio CD text display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddingguy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Otherwise... can you post maybe a screenshot of it? Have to tried to revert back to default (audio) settings? Maybe VLC can play your audio CD's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Laughing Man Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 You may need that CD-Audio cable that connects from the Optical drive to the sounnd-card/board, in order to play digital audio. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rk_b0mb Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Do you have your drivers install? Right click computer, go to manage, and click hardware manager. Are there any missing drivers? I know this is obvious, but do you have the IDE and molex cable connected to the CD drive? Is the Drive Master or Slave? You may need that CD-Audio cable that connects from the Optical drive to the sounnd-card/board, in order to play digital audio. ^ This! Try This! Oh, and not to troll or anything, but seriously--may I sugest you try out a copy of Windows 2000 SP4? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusDarkus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 You may need that CD-Audio cable that connects from the Optical drive to the sounnd-card/board, in order to play digital audio. um no. I'm pretty sure that cable is analogue. Digital audio I'm pretty certain is passed down through the IDE/ATAPI/SCSI/SATA cable to the computers sound card to be processed. Also back in those days when you selected analogue audio all it did was send play/stop etc. commands to the CD drive and it was the drive itself that did all the D/A decoding. That's why if windows crashes the CD would keep playing. thomastmc and goretsky 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaP Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I would suggest upgrading to Windows XP if your system does not support Windows 7. Windown ME had lots of trouble with audio. It has a lot of trouble with about everything in fact. I remember Baldur's Gate would keep crashing on it (bringing the whole system down requiring a reboot which was extremely slow on ME). Then when i upgraded to Windows 2000 i had no problem running it. remixedcat and -T- 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
