This article was previously published under Q141713 SYMPTOMS
You may experience problems reading compact discs with a CD-ROM drive
connected directly to a SoundBlaster adapter if you are using Mkecr5xx.sys
with the default base I/O address listed in the documentation for the
adapter.
CAUSE
The base I/O address used by the SoundBlaster adapter is 10 higher than
stated in the documentation for these adapters. The base I/O address can be
verified by checking WinMSD or the Windows NT Registry.
RESOLUTION
Reset the base I/O address to a different setting that no other device is
using. The address should be chosen so that it is free for 20 address
spaces (for example, 0x320-0x33F).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
