Technical Support Note
Product(s) involve : CD ROM drives
Third party product(s) : Microsoft Media Player
Subject
CD Audio option not available in the "Device" menu when running media player.
Thus cannot play CD Audio disk.
Description
User will encounter the above mentioned problem after a new installation of
Windows 3.1 with [MCI CD Audio].
The reason is when installing the MCI CD Audio driver, it will check the existent
of CD title in the CDROM and "remember" this status. However, in the case of
no CD title in the CDROM, there is no error message to reflect the status and
the installation will still complete with the message "One CD ROM drive
detected".
Therefore if user install the [MCI] CD Audio driver without inserting a CD title in
the CD ROM drive, the installation will still complete, however, when he/she run
the media player and select the "Device" menu, CD Audio is not available.
Solution/Action
There are two solutions to this problem:
1. Insert a CD title into the CDROM drive and reinstall the [MCI] CD Audio
driver again.
2. Exit Windows, use an editor to edit a file called MPLAYER.INI in the
WINDOWS directory and delete the line that contains CDAudio under the
[devices] section and restart Windows again. For example:
[devices]
WaveAudio=350, Sound
Sequencer=286, MIDI Sequencer
AVIVideo=350, Video for Windows
CDAudio=0, ===> Delete this line
