CDAudio: Freedos 1.3 since RC2 features upgraded UDVD2 driver, which fixes CDAudio problem. The solution for you is to download UDVD2 driver from author's website and replace it with what you have now. That is the ultimate solution. One hint: sound card mixer have some utilities and they might set zero volume for CD Audio. Get drivers for Yamaha and there should be some setup utility or mixer.
Please help with solution, don't waste time with asking why and why and why. Because I ask for it. And I ask kindly. I want FreeDOS. That's why I'm here. If I have to hack my way around and replace some files from original MS-DOS discs I have here on my table. Then yes I will do it because I need FAT32 support and I want FreeDOS ecosystem with apps.
