Plextor PX-850SA problem with EAC v0.95b4

[John Becker]

I recently added a Plextor PX-850SA to my system. It doesn't have an
analog audio output connector for a cable to the sound card.

After I checked the "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device" box
on the Properties window for the drive I can play an audio CD with
Windows Media Player and hear the sound through the PC speakers.

The problem I'm having is that when I use EAC with this drive and try to
play a CD track through EAC I get no sound. The elapsed time indicator
on EAC advances, so apparently the track is playing, but for some reason
the sound is not being fed to the speakers. Any ideas on how I can fix
this? Thanks!

Regards,

John

(BTW, EAC works fine with this drive for both extraction and burning.)

EAC options: General tab, check "Use alternate CD play routine".
