Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will go study the SBLive as a potential upgrade.
Surprisingly, I did find most/all controls for the AWE64 under the "Sound"
icon
on the control panel. Duh!!!??
I have the card all adjusted and it does work OK when I feed its' line out
to my
speakers 'rear surround in' plug. I have my main pc feeding line to the
speakers
'front surround in' plug. Maybe I should build a passive audio a/b
switch.......
I still miss the CD Player. But I'm still looking for it.......
Best,
Duncan

Sound Blaster Live comes to mind as an alternative to the AWE64, and has XP

JMacCraw,
Yes, I did suspect this. OK. I will live with the inboard drivers until I
find a newer audio card. I've thought about a third Philips Acoustic Edge
card, but I think I will run into PCI IRQ battles I do not wish to have.
This XP machine uses really old hdw ATM. No money for 'new-tech' yet.
Thanks for the link. I will check it out.
I really suspect I may have asked the wrong question. I thought that the
"CD Player" came as part of the sound card files; along with all the other
dashboards for the card. Perhaps not. Anyway, what I am really looking for
is the plain old "CD Player" application. I do have the winblows media
player. Is that my only choice for listening to music CDs in XP?
Best,
Duncan
