I assume you've made sure you have the CDDA device and unit configured correctly in the game? If it still doesn't work I can make a version of cdplayer.library with some debug output for you so that I can see what/if any cdplayer.library functions are being called, with what data and what the return value is, information that should be useful in trying to find out what the problem is.

Use Sashimi or C:DumpDebugBuffer command to get the debug output.

@Node TroubleShootingCDaudio "Troubleshooting CD audio"

Environment variables may be needed if you have problems with CD
audio. In the vast majority of cases, you will not need them. Read
the following only if you have trouble with CD audio.


- First, at least some Amiga CDROM drive systems lock up or crash when
cdplayer.library changes the CD audio volume. If that happens to you,
set the following environment variable before starting Wipeout 2097:

setenv wo2097/cd_novolume TRUE

That tells Wipeout 2097 never to send volume control commands to
cdplayer.library. Try that first.


- Second, cdplayer.library must know the device driver name and unit
number for your CDROM drive. Wipeout 2097 automatically finds them by
searching the AmigaDOS device list for the volume WO2097CD, which is
the Wipeout 2097 CDROM. Then Wipeout 2097 passes the information it
found to cdplayer.library.

In the unlikely case that this mechanism fails, you can override with:

setenv wo2097/scsi_device <cdrom-device>
setenv wo2097/scsi_unit <cdrom-unit>

where <cdrom-device> and <cdrom-unit> are the interface device driver
name and unit number for your CDROM drive. For examples:

setenv wo2097/scsi_device tandemat_pcmcia.device
setenv wo2097/scsi_unit 0
or:
setenv wo2097/scsi_device z3scsi.device
setenv wo2097/scsi_unit 5


- Finally, in the very unlikely case that your CDROM drive doesn't
work with cdplayer.library at all, you can use cd.device instead.
First you need a version of cd.device specifically for your CDROM
drive and controller. It may be included with some CD32 emulation
software supplied with your drive or controller. AsimCDFS comes with
a version of cd.device for SCSI CDROM drives. There are versions of
cd.device on Aminet for some other kinds of CDROM drives and
interfaces. Once an appropriate cd.device is installed in devs:, use:

setenv wo2097/cd_unit 0

before starting Wipeout 2097. Obviously this won't work if your
cd.device is for a different kind of CDROM drive and interface than
yours.


- Environment variables can be saved permanently across reboots by
copying the files in env:wo2097/ to envarc:wo2097/ .


- In the vast majority of cases, there is no need or reason to use
environment variables.
