WMP 9 ISSUE! help pleaase

RobberDucky · Oct 6, 2002, 04:04 PM

hi, when i put a cd into wmp, it will play but at a very low volume (noticeably lower than if i were to play the cd with winamp). I have a creative soundblaster live card. I notice that with winamp, the audio cd's volume is controlled by the "cd audio" tab, whereas with WMP, the volume is controlled with the "wave/mp3" tab. can anybody help me with this situation? Thanks!

Have you tried uppering volume on your CD drive and in Creative Mixer?

yes! many times...it seems though that windows media player recognizes the cd tracks as MP3/Wave tracks, instead of CD tracks. Winamp has no problems, for example. If i lower the volume of the CD Drive in the mixer with the CD playing in Winamp, the volume instantly lowers. What the heck is WRONG!!!! I don't have any extra codecs or anything installed by the way.
