Audio CD Incorrectly Identified as Program CD-ROMLast reviewed: August 22, 1995Article ID: Q132202 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are using the Media Pilot CD Sound System software installed on a Compaq Presario computer with Windows 95, audio CDs are incorrectly identified as program CD-ROMs and the Media Pilot software does not automatically advance to the first track on the CD.
CAUSEThe Media Pilot CD Sound System software is not using the appropriate method for determining if a disc that has been inserted into the CD-ROM drive is an audio CD or a program CD-ROM. Although previous versions of MS- DOS and Microsoft Windows return an error code when an audio CD is inserted, Windows 95 returns a success code and provides information about the tracks on the CD-ROM. Applications written for previous versions of MS- DOS and Windows that expect an error code to be returned when an audio CD is inserted may not be able to accurately detect whether or not an inserted disc is an audio CD.
RESOLUTIONTo play an audio CD using the Media Pilot CD Sound System software in Windows 95, manually advance to the track you want, then click the Play button. For additional information about this problem, please contact Compaq.
STATUSThis situation is most likely caused by design changes in Windows 95. Microsoft has confirmed that it is not caused by a problem in Windows 95.
