But do you have something else setup to play audio CD's like winamp or Jukebox? Some people have traced the problems to that.

Same problem, the light is on my cd rom (drive letter G) so the music is being read but it does not reach my speakers. I can play the music via media player so i know the music is there. I have applied the patch and a fresh install. I wondered if my soundcard (Crystal Pnp audio system)) might be the problem?

Sorted it on my system. For some reason in Auduo Properties the cd balance option had been muted. When i unchecked the box and tried the game again the music works.

So Richard: are you asking whether I've got an audio CD player (software) installed? Yes I do (sonique I think); are you saying that that prevents the CD from playing? I'll play with that and see. Thanks.

No sometimes newly installed CD playing software can conflict with the windows default player setup. A few folks have found this to be the problem.

Default Re: No music on cd

Well I have a similiar problem myself... Though somehow I think my problem is worse then theres... If I turn on 'CD Music' in options it nearly locks up my entire computer trying to play the audio tracks, but never actually sucedes in playing anything... WMP (Windows Media Player), Winamp, et all see & play the music fine...

Not that I really need the CD Audio music anyway, but I have found this to be annoying when I first started playing SE4 (btw I didn't receive my copy til the patch came out so my copy was patched before I ever played a single game)...

I installed the game, patched it immediately, and wondered why it wasnt playing.. turns out, the cd music was turned off in the game options..
