No audio out on modern IDE CD drives?

[jj]

I dont see it as an issue. os3.9 will play audio cds fine.
 
Its not a massive CPU hog because there is no compression unlike MP3

@JJ: yeah, are you sure the Amiga can play audio through the IDE or SCSI cable? That would be news to me. Only way I've ever been able to play audio through any OS on the Amiga (legacy systems) is by way of that audio out cord. Sure, 3.9's CD player starts, stops, skips and fast forwards songs - but that's it as far as the data cable is concerned. AFAIK, Paula ain't up to the task and besides, that would mean massive amounts of D/A converting going on to which end, the audio would still sound like 8-bit mush. 14-bits *maybe* if you had all sorts of fancy D/A software and a very fast processor.

Of course I am Not sure :laughing:
 
I could be mistaken I have not used  my miggy in quite some time and very well could be talking a pile of stinking poo.
