Here is a long tale. Please post to any forum which may benefit. The bottom line is that I will have to get another mobo.

I bought my stuff from you guys.
My CD ROM will not play audio files.
Yesterday, it would play the audio files on installation disks.
Because I downloaded some corrupt files from Microsoft (critical upgrades caused a fatal hang up), I formatted my c:\ partition, and did a new install. Device manager shows no splats, and there are no IRQ conflicts.
I am able to play RA streaming with no problem. Recently, I did a total upgrade with a new mobo & processor & 30 GB ATA 100 HD.
At one time, before I yanked out my non-ATA HDs, the system worked well, (albeit slow) and played the audio disks.
As soon as I did the reinstall of Win 98, I tried the CD player. I experienced nothingness.
Do I have a hidden hardware incompatibility, or a silent software conflict? BTW yesterday, I did have the CD playing, but only for three second intermittent intervals.
Any suggestions?
:eek:
