audio cd

I have to revise my symptoms which you brought to my
attention. I put in an audio cd, it autostarts and on
the track list there are 13 tracks like on the cd but
none of them play. When I tried mounting at that point
I got the wrong fs type error message which makes
sense now that you mentioned how the audio cd is just
played. It is kind of like the audio from the cd is
getting cut somewhere. Then again I can play wav files
from the same cd drive, works fine with waves. Hmmm,
I'll have to tinker around with it later.
Thanks,
JB
