    Audio CD's not playing


    I have a self-built comfuser w/an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard, using the onboard audio & running 10 Pro 64Bit.

    When I put either a CD/DVD in my optical drive, I don't have any problems reading documents, opening pictures & videos or starting .exe files, but for some reason audio files will not play.
    I'll put an audio CD/CD-R into the drive & iTunes WILL start, but none of the songs will play. I'll open VLC, but still no songs will play.

    I may have to crack open the case to check the wires. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should check software-wise?

    :)

    Audio CD's not playing

    You seem to have a missing entry in the features list, there should be a + with Windows Media Player tick box. Unless you have some corporate version of Windows 10 with restrictions of some sort.

    It is your Media player that does not play Audio CDs, these are Data discs not files.

    Mine shows correctly as in post #9 that is how File Explorer represents those CD Audio data Tracks with WMP as default.

    On my Laptop, with 5 listed Music players.
    Windows Media Player, IrfanView(with plugins) plays the Audio CDs, but not VLC Player(apps version), Toshiba Media Player, Groove Music.

    I don't have iTunes. That you will have to check.

    Groove Music is in the MS Store(free as you would expect), should be showing as Installed, but of no use in this case.

    Audio CD's not playing

    Playing audio CD's on Windows 10

    Neither of my two systems will now play audio CD's. They did prior to Windows 10, and they did after the upgrade. But now they do not - they just show the CD as a 'CDFS' device, with .cda files for each track.

    Something has gone wrong and is now preventing Windows 10 from recognising audio CD's.

    Please fix it ...

    (and I have tried the suggestions - no improvement)
