yeah VPC updatet to SP1

maybe i have forgot to point out that all other sounds work fine, heck i can even play mp3 CDs, only problema i have is with audio CD (it shows correct nubmer of tracks and correct lenght of a song but whene you start to play them you cant hear anything...)


(PS: i also remember that in "old" days you had to connect cd-rom with soundcard directly with a cable if this is the case that i cant play audi CD is there any program emulator etc. that would do the trick)

Yes indeed, but that's taken care of by VPC, VPC access the CDs via the host OS, so no need for that cable anymore.

However, isn't there a setting in W98 to choose between 'digital' or 'analog' playback of CDs in the CDdrive device manager? Could be a problem if it's set analog, dunno, maybe?
'Analog' was via that CD audio cable in the ol'times.

I can't check myself in the days that come, not on one of my own PCs .....
But you always could take a look, can't harm.

Also: if I'm not wrong both the games you mentioned have a dos variant, should be on the CD and playable in dosbox 0.73, would solve your problems.
Again: not at home, so it's from memory .....
And yes, dosbox 0.73 works flawless on Vista64. (If you didn't knew that.....)
