Hi
I cannot play audio CDs on my system. I have a Luna and Pulsar II with SFP 3.1c. It used to work fine with Luna 2.5. I have searched this site and tried the winamp route with the cd plugin but get an error when I try to play a CD of 'error opening device. system probably does not support win32 drivers'
Another strange thing is that my pulsar card does not appear in my list of devices in the multimedia section in the control panel, It lists Elektra 1,2 and 3 so I cannot select it but I can play wave files out of my pulsar from the sounds section in the control panel. I ahve just spent over 2 hours just trying things and I'm so bored.... It's only a ******* CD!!
Everything else works fine on my system.
Cheers

Hi

98 or XP or other ?

Hi Sorry.... 98

hi Kenf,

On WIN98/SE systems there can be problems with your winaspi.dll file, which is either not existent nor corrupt. This happens e.g. when removing old CD-burning software or other CD-accessing software, because the OS doesn´t provide these dynamic link libaries by default and when you install a burning software like Nero or WinOnCD it installs these .dll´s by itself.

So what you have to do is: download a working winaspi.dll
(e.g. from: http://www.nu2.nu/aspi/#2 )
and install it by rightclicking an choosing install. Than reboot your system and the problem should be gone. When you open Soundforge or some other CD-drive-accessing software, your CD-drive should be reachable. And your Mediaplayer should also be able to playback digitally again.

This strategy helped on my system and it should solve your problems too.

Nice greetings,

Zaphod

Thanks for the advice
