[Ham-Computers] Where Is The Audio?

[Philip (KO6BB)]

OK Duane,

Check this out, it's how I'd change my auto-play settings on my Win-7 
machines (might be similar in XP, I don't remember).

1. Open the control panel.
2. Select "Hardware and sound".
3. Under "Auto-play", select "Play CDs or other media automatically".
That brings up a series of options for things like DVDs, Video Files, 
Audio Files, Audio CDs etc. Each option offers a series of choices for 
that specific media. Set your choices then click "save".
