Tune-up: How to install a DVD or CD burner
 

Step 9: Configure Windows' settings

Open the Device Manager to verify that Windows is set to use digital CD playback.
Windows XP will probably set your drive to use digital CD playback as a default. To verify or change the setting, right-click My Computer, and select Properties > Hardware > Device Manager. Click the plus sign next to DVD/CD-ROM Drives, right-click the new drive, and choose Properties. Then select the Properties tab and make sure "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device" is checked.

Tip
If you want to disable digital CD playback, you'll need to do it within Windows Media Player as well as within Device Manager.
