how to play audio cd through newer dvd player when no hardwire connection to sound card

how to play audio cd through newer dvd player when no hardwire
connection to sound card?

I mean without ripping. Can this be done?

thanks a lot

 

Put in the CD, open a media player program, press the play button. The
computer reads the digital data off the disk, not an analog signal (what you
referred to as "hardwire connection").

 

when I do this with either windows media player or winamp there is no
sound though the file seems to be read as the progress bar moves but
no sound. I can play mp3's no prob off of my hard drive.

 

Open your volume control and check the settings - you may have to turn up a
different control. You can double-click the little speaker icon in the
system tray, or click start, all programs, accessories, entertainment,
volume control. Not all functions may be showing: click Options, Properties
to see what other controls may be available.

 

hmmm, strange, I tried to add volume control icon to task bar and got
the message that volume control program is not installed and to
install it via add new programs from the control panel but when I try
to install new windows programs it's not listed anywhere. I'm running
xp pro 2002 sp2.

 

In "Add/Remove" Programs see the list down the left side, click on
Accessories. This will install volume control and other accessories apps
from your windows cab folder on the hdd. This is how mine works..XP Pro
SP2.
