Audio CD players

Recommended Posts

Here's my setup:

 

Tyan S1856 BX mbd, Celeron/466MHz, 128MB, Diamond V770 Ultra (TNT2), Diamond MX300, Intel Pro/100+ NIC, USR 56K modem, BusLogic BT-946C SCSI PCI, 8.4GB EIDE drive, Plextor 8/20 CDR (SCSI), Plextor Ultra 40X CD (SCSI), Plextor 12/20X CD (SCSI), Iomega Jaz 1GB, Iomega 100MB Zip, HP ScanJet 4100Cse (USB).

 

All running under RC3 with generic MS drivers(Build 2183). (NOTE: I'm not bold enough to try out the beta NVidia detonator drivers cause this is my production/money making machine...)

 

I think that's all that's relevant....

 

Anyway, with MS's CD Deluxe player, I get clean audio off of any audio CDs (sounds incredible on my Cambridge SoundWorks DT2550 setup...), as do I with CDMax - a CDDB capable player, but with Plextor MVP 2000 player, the music "flutters" when playing a CD. It's not really a skipping noise but more like a light stuttering.

 

Has anyone else run into CD playing software that acts funny? And what would be the possible reasons for this?

 

Regards...

Hmmm, well, the stuttering is caused by the Plextor audio player doing some conversion before playing. The only reason that I say this is that the volume for that CD player is now dependent on the "Wave" device in the volume controls.

 

Now I want to figure out why Plextor does the conversion when just playing - or would this be digital extraction happening?
