Hi,yesterday I had the idea to listen an audio cd within my 840av. Not really necessary, just an idea. But there was silence. The audio cd player shows up, counting time etc. but no sound. I checked the connectors and it seems to be okay. Anyone any idea? private Lightsurfer, at your command! I dont like signatures |

Is it playing sound through the head phone jack on the front of the drive?, Did you check the internal sound cable is attached? and no offence... are you playing the cd on an external drive?Editor of the printed word, Ministry of 68k Truths (mini6)

My PM8100 does this. Go into the Sound or Monitors and Sound control panel, go to Sound In, and select Internal CD, and make sure that the Playthrough box is checked."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Maclover5 is the closest I feel.
I too had this "problem" with my 840av.
You need to go to Monitors & sound control panel & click through the sound output options.Unfortunatley I didn't find a better solution for this & although You can make it play cd sound, my own 840av seems to relish is just being a little contrary & randomly decides whether to allow you to listen to your cd, without having to resort to such tedium of setting the sound controls every time.

You might also want to check your PRAM battery, as on my 8100, that setting is kept in PRAM, well at least i think it is, anyway."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Checking the pram is a good point Maclover5, but is there a way to "check the pram"?If I move my 840av I need to reset the time & ting. shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive

If it loses the date and time when the machine's switched off, then the PRAM battery is dead."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers
