Cd gives no sound
 

cda files on cd (assigned to winamp): do start winamp and start them "playing": but totally without sound!
Shoutcast mp3's on the other hand give no problems and play clearly.
(If I try with media player: no problems,
previous Winamp 5.1 gave no problems either )

1. Winamp > Ctrl+P
2. Plug-ins > Input
3. double click 'Nullsoft CD plug-in'
4. make sure 'Enable digital audio extraction when possible' and/or 'Use Sonic engine when possible' are checked/selected
5. close out of Prefs > close & restart Winamp

Also, make sure CD Digital Audio is enabled for the CD drive...

1. Control Panel (Category View) > Sound, Speech & Audio Devices button > Sounds & Audio Devices icon
-or-
1. Control Panel (classic view) > Sounds & Audio Devices icon
2. Hardware tab
3. Select you CD-ROM/player
4. Properties button
5. Properties tab
6. toggle "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device"
7. OK > OK

Also, to help ensure that changes fully take place, close Windows and reboot (restart) the computer after making any of the above changes.

Both settings where already so, but they give no sound. This has just started since 5.6

(Another not related question: avi movies give sound at halve speed: a very low, slow sound ( but that was also the case in my previous version)).

Thanks for help in advance

Try using DirectSound output instead of waveOut

Winamp > Ctrl+P > Plugins > Output > highlight/select > DirectSound

The highlighted plug-in is the current/active one.

Allready selected.
The problem seems to be the external dvd/cd player _NEC DVD_RW
the internal cd player works fine without problems, strange;
but for the external player still no sound (with winamp 5.6), use windows media player there now instead, but that is not what should be :-( ?

In Winamp...

Ctrl+P > General Preferences > Titles > add [' { '%cdengine%' }'] to the Advanced Title Formatting string

Then play a CD track and report back what it says in the song ticker/scroll or playlist editor (MCI, ASPI or Sonic).

[%artist% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))[' { '%cdengine%' }'] This way?
Then the songtickers says the name
Pedroca-Flamengo[spti] (2.53) (and later after that the second song): but its "plays" without sound

The plug-ins/ output/Nullsoft-direct-sound output v2.49
gives the following logfile:

[spti] was one of items that I was looking for, but was not included on the list from the reply. SPTI suggests than Winamp is trying to play from the Window's default CD support instead of Sonic. From the "Nullsoft CD plug-in" instructions above, try unchecking Sonic and leave "Enable digital audio" checked (or the other way around). Also, try unchecking "Sample input from soundcard" as well.

I don't see anything wrong with you HjT and plig-ins reports.

Have you tried updating the software/drivers for the external drive?

Thanks for your help, unchecking "Enable digital audio" was the solution,everything ok now.
