Hi Colleen, I didn't find it in this thread yet, but I am wondering if you have the CD-drive connected to the soundcard or not. Some applications will "rip" and play the cdda-tracks directly from the CD. Others will simply tell the CD-drive to play an audio-cd and have the cd-drive do the decoding. In the latter case, the audio-signal goes over a little cable from the cd-drive to the soundcard. -- Joost
