Should work with no problems (Its how I use it in work to listen to music when I'm programming) - You haven't got a volume control on the front of the drive have you?
Yes, and I have tried adjusting that. I have tried both drives, and neither will play through the headphones. I know the phones are OK, because they work fine through my Hi-Fi.
As to getting winamp etc playing - I find that having the software open and using that to eject the draw usually gets around the problem. Failing that pressing the shift key when you put the disc in the machine.
I've tried all ways to get Winamp to play the audio part of the CD, but all I can seem to get is the 'enhanced' section containing the video. I can't even get the box to come up when you put the CD in the drive, asking what you want to do - it just automatically launches the video section. I found the same problem on another CD with a similar 'enhanced' section. When I right click the 'D' drive and choose Open, I can't even find the audio files! They are definitely there, as it plays on a normal CD player. Not that I was trying to copy it, but I'm wondering if there's some clever copy protection on it, which prevents it even being played on a PC?
