I messed with the analog audio option already available in the program with no luck, so apparently that wasn't what I thought it was..

I found out that PP does not like SCSI devices. Would there be any possibility to create a virtual drive on a virtual IDE controller?

PP: Timeshock analog audio works fine from virtual drive here. DT Version 3.44 with analog audio option turned on.
Maybe there's another problem in your system config?

it definately does not work from a alcohol virtual drive.
i have 3 physical scsi drives and not even one of it plays the analog audio. thus i am sure that Timeshock does not work with scsi drives.

All "IDE Controllers" are recognized as SCSI by Windows. It's just something in the way they're controlled, that the card and any device on that card is considered SCSI. That's why the virtual drives are all SCSI, not because of the way they're coded, but because of the way Windows handles them.

when i insert that cd into my only ide cd-drive (dvr-106) it plays the cd audio. but since this drive is a crappy cd-player (note: not ripper, ripping audio is excellent) its no fun playing that way.
surprisingly, The Web, which is really old does work perfectly, even with CD Audio. Have to admit that it requires Win9x compatibility mode to run.
hmmm... next idea... :woot: -> result:

i think you missunderstood me. what i meant is a virtual controller that does identify itself as an IDE controller.
just the way of identifying itself to windows, not the way it is handled by windows.

stupid game only checks ide cd-roms to find the cd. it totally ignores any scsi controller. that's why i asked about a virtual ide controller.

it may have it's own routines to check for cd devices and maybe it does not use the standard apis (getdrivetype etc.)
how would you explain this:
ide cd rom has letter H: (first one after the HDDs). Audio plays (but its crap).
ide cd rom has letter Z: . Audio plays (again, unusable).
xmasscsi has H: with image loaded. No Audio.
somehow it does not work from a scsi (physical or virtual) device. guess i'll have to live with it.
