Run one of your CD games for a few seconds, quit ME, look into the log.txt file for the below section:

[SOUND INIT]
init sound timer... OK
init direct sound interface... OK
set cooperative level... OK
create primary buffer... OK
setup primary buffer: freq=44100 channels=2 bits=16... OK
alloc sound buffer... OK
play sound buffer... OK
check sound buffer... OK
scanning sound card... found 1 sound card(s)
checking sound card mixer ("SB Live! Wave Device" v5.0)...
+SPEAKERS: vol = 99 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-WAVEOUT [ 0] vol = 84 [00000000/0000FFFF] (selected as CD input line)
-UNDEFINED [ 1] vol = 96 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-SYNTHESIZER [ 2] vol = 100 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-COMPACTDISC [ 3] vol = 90 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-LINE [ 4] vol = 90 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-MICROPHONE [ 5] vol = 56 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-ANALOG [ 6] vol = 90 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-ANALOG [ 7] vol = 90 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-TELEPHONE [ 8] vol = 90 [00000000/0000FFFF]
-WAVEOUT [ 9]
+WAVEIN:
master audio volume... 100 (99)
fx audio volume... 100 (84)
cd audio volume... 100 (100)

WAVEOUT [x] or COMPACTDISC [x] should appear selected as CD input line. If that's not the case, open the PCE.ini file and look for the below section:

;
; CD-ROM audio input line
; --
; 0 -> first audio input line [default]
; 1 -> second audio input line
; ...
;
; (see the log.txt file to find out what are the line numbers)
;

cd_audio_input_line=0

Replace 0 with the number of your WAVEOUT or COMPACTDISC unit that you saw in your log file.

Also check that your CD volume control is not accidentally turned low in your audio mixer (Windows Sound & Multimedia Properties, Creative Mixer, whatever).

alloc sound buffer... OK

- control 4 (input line)
- control 5 (???)
- control 6 (???)
- control 7 (???)
control 3 selected (vol=FFFFFFFF)

No waveout? Strange.

In your ini file, try replacing the default 0 value by 3 like this:

cd_audio_input_line=3

I tried using 3,0,1 on that line but still nothing i guess i am screwed
