How to play CD audio through digital speakers

You just purchased that niffty set of digital speakers, USB speakers, thus they
are not connected to a sound card. OK, I give up. How do you get CD audio sound
through them? To play CD sound through USB speakers:

1. the CD-ROM drive must support digital playback
   
2. you need to enable digital CD audio

If your system fulfills these
requirements, here’s how:

• Open the Device Manager
  
• Expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives branch
  
• Right-click CD-ROM drive and choose Properties
  
• Click the Properties tab
  
• On the Properties page, select the option Enable Digital
  CD Audio For This CD-ROM Device
  
• Adjust the volume
  
• Close the Properties sheet

If the CD-ROM drive doesn’t support digital CD audio, you’ll have to connect
the drive to a sound card to play audio CDs.
