Control Panel - Multimedia - look for 'Digital CD playing' or
something like.

Believe it or not I found it. However it was already disabled. Go
figure, of course now I do remember doing a scanreg /restore recently.
. . . . .and I used to have a lot older soundcard.

Thanks, at least now I know where the setting is, I looked all over in
system but it's obviously not there.

Anyway the reason I want to do this is for one, my machine is limited,
but I am using a primary connection to WinMX peer networks and this
uses resources. So much so that it makes MP3s skip, or more aptly put,
stick. After it's running awhile it vecomes quite a hog and even the
mouse locks up. This is about 100 ms, with about 800 ms in between when
I get frustrated enough to reboot. The thing is that the transfers are
happening and these are files I want.

Can't you use a secondary connection on WinMX?

Here (233MHz Pentium, 128MB RAM) primary connections on WinMX were a
disaster.
