cd audio will not play::o

[zduckman]

confused;Windows media player keeps telling me to insert an audio disk
windows cd player says the same.
I have tried a new cd rom and sound card.
I have loaded win 98se back over the top of its self.
I have removed the enum key and reloaded all hardware.
still get message that I need to insert a cd audio disk. When I try to play an audio CD
the drive icon shows a cd audio disk is in the cd drive.
will play all other music files and formats
I did a fresh load of win 98se another hd and all installed hardware works fine cd players work fine.
I updated the windows media player from the original with 98 load to ver 7.1 and then to ver 9
still no darn cd audio

Is your cd drive connected through an audio cable or just by the IDE? Check the volume of CD Audio in the control panel.

It seems to be a specific problem associated to CDA files.
cables are all fine. volume is all fine
connected to sc by audio cable.
drive works in another system
new install of os on a different hd works fine ..

Is media player set to digitally extract the music?

remove all references to winamp and music match from the registry and then will reassociate file
types to windows media again.. agggghhhh.. LOLOL
