Help! Can burn data but not audio.

[joeyz]

I just recently had to reinstall my entire computer. Now for some reason I can't burn audio cds. I can burn all types of data(everything except and audio cd). I reinstalled all the drivers. My computer plays cds/dvds ...so it seems like it has no problem reading those formats. I have Nero and "burn for free" both let me burn things but the audio tab won't light up (isn't an option) on either program... is there something that I need to reconfigure? I can't figure it out... if anyone has any ideas of what it could be I would appreciate the help. Please ask me questions if I didn't make the question clear enough. Thanks

do you decode the mp3s to wavs before burning?

[joeyz]

Yeah I know to do that... I can't copy audio cd's directly either... you know there's an option to burn copies of cd's and I can't do that either.

[Kooperman]

Have you tried reinstalling the copying software?

[method77]

I've never seen that problem before. What program are you using? Version and everything

[joeyz]

Nero 6.0 I think not sure of year... I'll get you that info when I get back to my computer.

This may be completely dumb.... but wasnt there some issue about needing a wnaspi32.dll file when using Nero and XP??

[joeyz]

Does it matter that my other burning program has the same problem... it's "burn 4 free." This makes me think that it's some type of configuration/driver problem with the burner other than the programs.

I think it pops up an error when there is a problem with that

[joeyz]

yeah I am not getting any type of error sign. It just isn't letting audio be an option for burning.

[method77]

can you post a pic of the options that it gives you?

[joeyz]

Not right now but I will try to later... I am not at the computer that we are speaking of.

[MikeHunt]

ok...another option to consider (since it seems.. your burning software files might be corrupted) besides the sage advice given above...try another program (FREE)....

might narrow down the problem..if it works ...if it dosn't ..then you have a system problem or a program conflict

[joeyz]

Thanks for the suggestion Mike! I'll give it a shot.

[GabrielYoungFan]

Yeah definitely try that.

[joeyz]

Thanks for the help guys....but I am afraid my computer has encountered some more serious problems... if I get it going again I will post some more info... maybe (then) we can get to the bottom of this.

[Umma]

Awwe that's too bad... hope you get it sorted.

When confronted with a situation like this I always like to resort to the ballpeen hammer repair tool.

Yeah Koop, I think that would work real well with this application. :rotfl:

tried updating your ide drivers?

you might have installed old ones...

[joeyz]

Hey Cube thanks for the response... and no I haven't tried that yet... I will have to try that tonight...The computer is finally up and running again… upgraded to windows XP and reinstalled all the drivers….I still have the same problem…. I have a strong suspicion that the drivers are the problem…. Could the drivers be incompatible with the operating system?

[method77]

post the pics that i asked you before and we'll see

[joeyz]
