Be carefull! The Windows Media Player extracts the AudioCDs
digitally, so it plays AudioCDs inserted in drives NOT connected to
the soundcard via audio analog cable. (I've got such a not connected
CDROM because there weren't any free connectors on my soundcard left.)
Have you tried the old Windows CD-Player (cd32.exe, I think)?
Best way to be sure: Open your PC and take a look. I'm pretty sure
it�s the cable.
