  3. Audio CD will start playing (If Audio CD does not start-up, see Troubleshooting section).
Note: If customer has an older version of the NT file called cdaudio.sys this older version will not play audio CD's and in some cases won't even read data CD's such as Kodak Photo CD's. In addition, if the customer has the "Autorun feature" turned off, the drive will not automatically start playing the CD.
