No CD audio through speakers in Windows 3.x.

Issue:

No CD audio through speakers in Windows 3.x.

Solution:

First, ensure that you do have a cd icon in file manager.
From Program Manager go into Accessories and then Media Player Devices and ensure that CD Audio is shown on the list. If it is not listed on the list, edit MPLAYER.INI, and make the below changes.

[Options]

SysIni=-27057

DisplayPosition=0,0,400,120

CDAudio=62

[Devices]

Sequencer=286, MIDI Sequencer

WaveAudio=350, Sound

CDAudio=2553, CD Audio

Then ensure that the [MCI] CD Audio driver is loaded in Main Control Panel Drivers. If not, add it and you should get the message one CD-ROM drive was detected, and it should then work.
