I know you're all probably sick and tired of seeing this topic but I looked at some of the posts about this one and none of the solutions for other people helped me. I was on another board and I was told to come here and post my pce.ini file and someone might be able to help me. The problem is that the sounds play fine but no music... I've tried disabling digital CD audio and using CloneCD to burn an image onto my computer and play it with Daemon Tools. I don't have any idea what else to do (except try to buy that cable and connect my CD-RW audio to my sound card... but I don't have any cash right now Sad ). I hope someone on here can solve my problem. Here's my .ini file:

Plain and simple: MagicEngine doesn't support digital playback. If you don't have any analog cable connected from your CD-ROM drive to your sound card, you won't hear any CD audio. Start saving your bucks now or wait for the next ME version.

Plain and simple? Slipknotvampire3 is running XP which is the OS I use and play Drac X fine with headphones in my CD-Rw drive. I don't have a cable hooking up my drive to my soundcard either. Of Course this build does not support Digital Audio, but there is still a way for him to hear music unless his mp3 files are corrupt. So there is still some hope. You do not have to resort to a cable quite yet. Wait until David writes you and suggests a fix. However, if you are saying your CD tray does not have a headphones jack then you might be up a creek without a paddle. By the Way, I am the one who steered you onto these boards from Turbo message boards.

Ok... So I'm gonna do both... I will save up some money while at the same time waiting for David's reply. Thanks for the help... Also thanks for pointing this board out to me Maxwell314.

I would have some money if they didn't change the price of the tickets for a Mudvayne concert that was supposed to be $24 but were really $30... Oh well... No big deal for a concert from one of my favorite bands Very Happy
