Audio-CDs digital playback How is it possible to playback Audio CDs under a Windows operating system without extra wiring between soundcard and CD/DVD drive? With Windows 98SE or Windows ME/2000/XP and an actuall version of the MediaPlayers / WinAmp you have the possibility to transfer the audio signal through the PCI bus: here is how to do: Windows 98SE Under Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Sound and Multimedia, you will find the ,,Music CD" tab. Here you must activate the CD digital playback. Windows ME / 2000 / XP Open the context menu ,,Properties" of the CD/DVD drive in the device manager. There you will find the option "Activate CD digital playback"; select it to enable the data transfer over the PCI bus. Eventually, you will need to reboot the system to benifit of this function. Select the digital playback (for Windows Media Player) or the DirectSound output plug-in (for WinAmp) in the software you use as well. Please note that not all playback software allow this function.
