CD audio won't play - Dave Trost - 05-25-2003 Here's the scoop and what I have:
1. HP Pavilion 8860
Any ideas? Hate to take this to the shop!
Which calculator plays CDs? :-) - Gene - 05-25-2003 Did I miss this introduction? :-)
Off-topic, but... - Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) - 05-25-2003 Hi; I'll try to put my own experience and a bit of knowledge, but it doesn't mean I'm taking your precise situation, O.K.? It's a general view. Let's see; you wrote:
2. ASUS A7V-VM (GAS, GLAS) oem motherboard with onboard sound Have you checked for audio cables? Some of them have a different location for ground and signal wires. 12. No sound when I plug headphones in the CD burner drive This is the "weirdest" symptom of them all. You mean you put an audio CD at the CD recorder and get no sound from its own headphone plug? Id you check if CD is actually "playing"? I mean, does any LED/blinking LED signals it is happening anything?
13. DVDs play OK, sound included, in the DVD drive. Have you checked what sort of devices are installed in your O.S. check list? What O.S. are you running?
16. CD ROM jumpers – I have tried leaving them in the motherboard, sound card and disconnected – no difference Seems that logical connections (flat cables) are fine, but you may still have a configuration OR driver problem. Any ideas? Hate to take this to the shop! In cases like this, I take a bunch of free time, uninstall everything, remove all boards, and go babe-steps mode ON: one driver and one device at a time. I experienced Plug&PRAY (yes, plug&PRAY) conflict when everything is detected at the same time, but when boards were installed and detected one at a time, interruptions and DMA were satisfactory set at BIOS and correctly followed by O.S. (in this case. MS related O.S.). Hope this helps a bit... In time: have any HP calculator at home? Office? Anywhere? Ahn? Luiz C. Vieira - Brazil

Let's make new friends... - Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) - 05-25-2003 Hi, Gene; I thought I could ask him to find a seat, look around for someone he recognizes and, if he sees he's got into the wrong party, let's invite him to stay! Isn't it the American spirit? <8O) Cheers!

Re: Off-topic, but... - Ellis Easley - 05-25-2003 I think maybe the system has no information regarding WHICH CD drive to use to play audio CDs. There is no ambiguity regarding which to use to play DVDs or to burn CDs but either one could play audio CDs and for some reason the system doesn't know which one to use. Once it does know, it probably doesn't need the audio cable connected - Windows nowadays seems to default to playing audio CDs digitally (raw read through the data cable) rather than the old fashioned way. I believe that fact is part of the "Napster" conspiracy. At the same time, your DVD drive is required to note whether you play DVD movies with different Region codes, and only allow you to change regions so many times (5?) until it stops changing and only works with the last region.
