I installed my Delta Card, now I can’t hear my CD’s in my CD Drive. Is there a fix for this?

There are several answers to this question. The first is to use Windows Media Player 7.1 (available from Windows Update) or Siren Express (from Sonic Foundry), and set the CD Audio playback mode to Digital (in Windows Media Player 7.1 this is under Tools > Options.

A much more involved possibility is to use winamp, as described below.

1. Get Winamp from www.winamp.com and install it. Also install the CD Reader v1.82 plug-in, you can also download this from www.winamp.com in the
plug-ins section.

2. Once installed, run Winamp. Go to the Menu, go to Options, then Preferences.

3. Select Input under Plug-ins.

4. Select CD Reader on the right side of the Window (should be at the bottom, unless you’ve added other plug-ins) and click configure.

5. Here you can select your CDROM drive. If you have more than one, select the CDROM drive you want to hear CDs from. Click OK to go back to the Preferences Window.

6. Select Output under Plug-ins.

7. Select Nullsoft waveOut plug-in (version doesn’t matter here) And click Configure.
Set the output device to the outputs on the Delta you want the CD Audio to come through (or all audio through Winamp for that matter). Now drop a CD
in, and it should play fine through the Delta without the audio cable going from the CDROM drive to the Delta.
