Windows Media Player 7 (or higher) says 'Digital audio is not available'.

This is a bug in Windows Media Player affecting all systems with more than one CD-ROM drive (including virtual drives). If you want this feature you must bring the drive letters of your CD-ROM drives to the same order as listed in ASPI manager (e.g. aspi_you).

EXAMPLE:
Result of aspi_you:

Ho,ID,Lu Manufac Model Rev Type
0,0,0 Maxtor 3 1536U2 BAC5 Disk
1,0,0 NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:282 4.E0 CD-Rom
2,0,0 H+H CDROM Drive 3.00 CD-Rom
3,0,0 H+H DVD-ROM DVD-707B 4.00 CD-Rom


Possible order of drives:

Drive Manufac Model Rev Type
C: Maxtor 3 1536U2 BAC5 Disk
D: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:282 4.E0 CD-Rom
E: H+H CDROM Drive 3.00 CD-Rom
