19591 2001-09-28 22:57:00 I have just installed a LG 52X CD ROM, and have placed it as SLAVE on the Secondary IDE cable. The CD writer is on the MASTER - both jumpers are set to CS, as I have a Cable Select IDE cable - all works well, and all data reads off both drives - also my CD ROM reads burnt disks ok - all is well, EXCEPT THIS:
When about to play a music CD in Windows media player, I get a window that reads:
'We have determined that Windows Media Player cannot read from the drive in Digital format - you can still read and play music, but in Analog only - you will lose the WOW effect, the Graphic Equaliser etc....

My Question is, why have I suddenly lost the Digital Functionality in Windows Media Player - afterall, all I have done is installed a CD ROM drive! Before this installation, I was of course using the Writer to play music etc, and the digital functionality was working fine!
Secondly, how do I get it back, and will this degrade any cds I choose to burn using the playlist/burn function in WMP?
Can anyone help?

There is nothing wrong with it it only affects playback. If you must have it, just use your Writer to play them.
