Common Questions and Answers





Q: My Audio CD Player works fine in DOS but I can't play Windows CD Player?

A: To play an audio CD under Windows using the Adaptec CD Player or Windows

   Media Player, an MCI CD Audio driver is required.  The most common error

   message displayed is "NO CD", when the MCI driver is not present. You can

   add it yourself, but please have your Microsoft Windows diskettes present

   before taking the following steps.  In Windows, under control panel click

   on the Drivers icon, click on Add, select the MCI CD Audio driver from

   the driver selection list and click OK.



Q: My CD-ROM drive is XA compliant, so why does ASPICDXA.EXE not load during

   boot up?

A: XA (Mode 2 Form 2) is a newer technology which supports both audio and

   data on the same track of CD ROM's.  There are not many XA CD titles on

   the market which support this technology yet. Currently this driver only

   supports certain CD ROM's including Chinon (CDS-535), Hitachi (CDR-6750),

   Panasonic (CR-532), Plextor (Texel) (DM-3028, DM-5028), Sony (CDU-541),

   Teac (CD-50) and Toshiba (XM-3301, XM-3401).  More information can be

   found in the README.TXT or the EZ-Audio installation disk.



Q: Why can't I hear any sound from the speakers when the CD Player in DOS

   and Windows seems to be working okay?

A: In order to use Audio CD ROM or play games and utilities with analog

   audio, a 4 pin CD Audio-in cable is required.  This cable is connected

   from the CD Audio-In connector of AMM-157x to the CD Audio connector of

   your internal CD ROM. You can purchase this cable from your local

   computer supply store or order it directly from TTS Multimedia Systems

   at (800) 887-4968.  Please look at the Installation Hints Addendum for a

   more detailed description.



Q: I am replacing a previously installed sound card. Do I need to remove any

   drivers first?

A: Yes.  If you had a sound card previously installed in your system, there

   are drivers and configuration parameters that must be removed.  Remove

   all the sound card drivers and parameters from autoexec.bat, config.sys,

   and system.ini before installing the AMM-157x.  For further information,

   download OTHERSND.TXT from the Adaptec BBS.



Q: During Windows boot-up a warning message shows "No Adaptec AMM-157X

   detected" or "Roland MPU 401" driver not installed?

A: To resolve this configuration error, install EZ-audio disk and continue

   installing up to windows sound system disk 1. Under Windows Sound System

   select AMM-157X driver and when it asks you to "install software" or

   "restart Windows", please select restart Windows. Also if you have any

   IRQ or port address conflict in Windows, you can change them under

   windows control panel under driver's icon by clicking on set up.
