Windows 98 SE users can
listen to audio CDs via
Windows Media Player 7.x,
using the Digital Playback
option. Your CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM drive must support
sustained digital reads. Read
the Media Player help for
more information.
On a fresh installation of
Windows Me, you may not
hear audio from your CD-
ROM drive even after
enabling Digital CD Audio. To
solve this, disable Digital CD
Audio and then restart the
computer. When the system
has restarted, re-enable
Digital CD Audio and restart
the system again.
To listen to music CDs through your CD-ROM/
DVD-ROM drive, you must enable Digital CD audio
for the drive. (Enabled by default in Windows XP).
1. In Windows 2000/XP or Windows Me, click
Start->Settings->Control Panel->System.
2. Select the Device Manager tab.
3. Double-click the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM icon.
Double-click the name of your drive.

Digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device"
checkbox to select it.
