Anybody know why CD Audio player ( new and classic too) go crazy, jumping from track to track and playing nothing at all. This happens with ArcaOS and with eCS 2.1. Drive (hardware) is working ok in Windows and Linux. My pc has IDE and SATA ports and I tested with an IDE drive and a SATA drive. Same result!

Hi Renee

Neither play on my ArcaOS system.  I never noticed before because I use PM123.  Also VLC plays CDs.

This is the one I use.

Yes, the new player doesn't support digital transfer and the classic needs it set under the View menu.

Hi Renee

No problems using the CD Player (Classic) here on ArcaOS - eCS also used to work OK. I do not bother with the newer CD Player as my dvd drives are setup to use Digital Transfer which the newer player does not support.

As the same hardware - and CD? - are working in Windows I can only guess there may be something wrong with the driver load order in config.sys or the mmpm2.ini file. You may want to post the config.sys to see if anyone can spot a problem, same applies to the \MMOS2\MMPM2.INI file which can sometimes get munged.


Regards

Pete

Thanks Dave. Setting "Digital transfer" in the View menu of CD Player (Classic) works with this player.
