My guess is that if reading an ISO from a CD doesn't work correctly but it works fine on your hard drive, there is a problem with your CD-ROM drive (possibly with constantly streaming data as you said it's a CDDA problem). Is there another CD drive you could try it on? Have you installed an ASPI layer?

 

Er... by "burn the iso to a CD" I meant actually make a stand alone CD from the ISO file... in any case, I've tried the CD on two computers, and each computer has two CD-ROM drives (the DVD and a CDR). This is driving me nuts in any case, and I have no clue what the problem could be... Since this problem spans multiple computers, I'm thinking that it could be Windows XP, but other people under XP aren't having these problems...

Edit: I installed an ASPI layer but it didn't help anything.

 

What plugin were you using with the CD's?

 

I've tried nearly all of them. I used the epsxe ones, Pete's, Eternal, and they all give me the same problem. But ALL of them work fine with the ISO.

 

Did you try experimenting with the caching modes with P.E.Op.S./Xeven/SaPu's plugin?

 

is the audio cable actually plugged to both your cd drive and your sound card? CDDA goes directly trough it, not the CPU.

 

Hmm... I haven't actually opened up my case, but since CD music isn't working in most of my PC games, either, that seems to be the most likely cause. However, I still can listen to CD music through Windows Media Player, though, so I don't know if that means that the audio cable is plugged into the CD drive and sound card or not. Anyway, thanks for all the replies.

after read faq. I didn't find a solution. I check the configurations, but the games looks like scratch.
thanks for your time

When you listen to music through Windows Media Player, does the light on the drive blink very quickly and erratically or does it blink slowly and regularly or solid on? I'm thinking the games that don't work are trying to use the analog audio cable but WMP is set to use digital audio which goes over the IDE cable (which would explain why it works fine in WMP but not in some games).

 

Hmm... I'd say it's blinking at a slower and more steady pace, personally. Then again, that's kinda subjective.

 

How do I install an Aspi layer? Where can i download it? Because that's what my epsxe CD plugin is looking for. Thankx!!!

 

Google for forceaspi.

 

No Music on epsxe

Hi there i have a problem here on some psx games that has audio tracks it seems not to play the audio part when playing but the ingame sounds are fine and i tried everthing i could to fix this prblem i even imaged the game on to my hard drive still the same problem and tried diffrent sound plugins and enabled all of the cdda options on still ddint work no music or audio sounds from audio tracks but psx games that has no audio works just fine like silent hill for example since all the sounds are ingame and plays just fine but anyways hope you guys can help me thanks

 

something simple but oft overlooked, checking off the top 3 boxes in sound config

 

Nope didnt work the only thing i have left is just avoid psx games that has audio tracks lol i think its the emulator itself for some reason it just doesnt read the audio tracks the game just loads fine and after that the cd just stops untill it loads again and imaging wouldnt make any diffrence lol

 

does anyone know how to get the Audio tracks to play? i tried diffrent settings still doesnt work although one game think it was Vigilante 8 when i went to options and credits
the music started to play but when i go to the audio options theres no music and also when playing Vigilante 8 Thanks
