NOTE
: Microsoft has confirmed the following problem with Windows 98.
An audio CD that is playing through a USB device may stop when you open
a command prompt window. The music may also randomly stop playing, the
speaker icon on the task bar may disappear, or the progress counter in the
CD Player tool may never change from 00:00. If you experience this
problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain a fix.
Windows:
To use your CD Drive as an audio CD
player, you need to configure it for
Direct Digital Connection. If your CD
ROM DOES NOT support Digital Audio
Extraction, these items will not be
available and appear greyed out.
Windows 98:
Open My Computer, open Control
Panel, then open the Multimedia icon.
Select the CD Music tab
Put a check in “Enable digital CD audio
for this CD-ROM device”.

DVD\CD-ROM drives

Macintosh:
Newer Macintosh computers use digital audio CD playback, and are therefore
compatible with USB audio. On these computers, you do not need to select the
CD as the input source in the
Sound
control panel or Control Strip to listen to
audio CDs.
