What sound card do you have? And what CD drive?
It's been reported occasionally, but I'm having a tough time seeing how MJ could do this.
Sound Card: Aureal Vortex SQ2500 Superquad digital
CD Drives:
- CD-RW: Yamaha 3200EZ
- DVD: Toshiba M1202
MJ8 cannot play continuous analog from either of these drives.

I have discovered a further thing:
I use a program called "Sandra" for general hardware/software info of this machine. Under MCI Devices, and under the device "vcreaudio", it lists an error message:
"MMSYSTEM262 There is a problem with your media device. Make sure it is working correctly or contact the device manufacturer. "
A search for this error message produces the following result:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=132572which seems to be the exact error of audio track ends not reported properly, except it is supposed to be for Windows95 and I have Windows98SE
So we have the following cases:
- this problem has no connection to this MJ8 problem
- this problem is the CAUSE of this MJ8 problem
- this problem is CAUSED by MJ8
I should mention the following contradictory info:
1. Other players do not have this problem for analog playback.
2. Another sytem info utilitiy, called "AIDA" does NOT report the above MMSystem262 error for the same device
I do not receive any related error messages for this MMSystem262 thing, except when I look at it via Sandra.
Folks, I would really like this analog playback to work...
Thanks.

Some further info..
The description of this "vcreaudio" device in the Aida program is "MCI driver for VISCA". If I go to the regular Win98SE control panel and look up this device under "Multimedia", there is no error message. The "Settings" button for this driver has a pull-down selection for my comm ports (??) and a pull-down selection for each comm port as to the number of "VCR's' on the corresponding port.
I 'm afraid I have no idea what this is. Enlighten me...
