    Audio CD Autoplay not working with Winamp

    For some reason, audio CD autoplay is not working with Winamp. I checked the "Launch Winamp for Audio CDs" box, but when I open it again, it's unchecked. I've checked the registry, and Winamp is already listed as an audio CD or enhanced audio CD handler, as you can see on the attached thumbnails. On Control Panel Autoplay menu, on dropdown lists for audio CD and Enhanced Audio CD, there is only "Play (Winamp), when it should be "Play Audio CD (Winamp)", like it is for the other media players.

    I checked another PC and it has the same Winamp registry keys for (Enhanced) audio CD handler. However, the "Launch Winamp Audio CDs" box stays checked when I open Winamp again. On this PC, on (Enhanced) audio CD Autoplay dropdown lists, "Play Audio CD (Winamp)" option is shown, how it should be. I've already uninstalled Winamp, deleted all registry keys, and reinstalled it, but didn't have success.

    Does anyone know what might be causing audio CD autoplay to not work with Winamp? I simply can't see what is causing this issue and how to solve it. Thanks in advance.

    OS is Windows 10 Home Single Language x64 build 14393.576

    Audio CDs not working but data CDs work.

    audio cd

    Hello -- thanks for your reply -- that is exactly correct -- I wanted to rip the audio file on the cd to my ipod -- when it did not work, I thought the cd was broken. I took the (audio) cd to a another computer and it ripped find -- no issue

    I then tried to read "data" "optical disks" on the device and both a data dvd and a data cd read fine

    it there a way to test this at the hardware level to see if the cd drive is bad? Thanks again
