If you are playing them on a normal Amiga with a CD-ROM drive then you need the audio outputs from teh CD-ROM drive connected to your speakers, as well as the normal Amiga audio outputs.

Or else plug a set of headphones into the front of the CD-ROM drive (if you have an old enough one)

I'm using this with an A4000D.


The A4000D has a input connector on the motherboard to connect the audio from the CD-ROM drive.  However the levels aren't matched properly IIRC, and you need a non-standard cable to connect the drive.  its a small 3 pin header instead of the usual style ones on PC soundcards.

No problem.  Not sure where you would get a suitable cable though.  I got mine out of an old Win95 machine about 10 years ago.  Might be best to splice 2 old cables together.

Good luck!!

Unfortunately not.  The audio tracks are just recorded as normal 16bit 44.1k CD audio.  You can play them on a normal CD player.  

I remember a program called YACDP was able to play the CD Audio over the SCSI bus on my A1200 with Squirrel, so it came out through the Amiga's audio outs.  However the quality was poor and the CPU overhead would be high.

If you're stuck, i'll see if i have another suitable wire that u could have.
