Man this sux, whenever i fire EAC it will only display the generic dvd drive of daemon tools, already uninstalled it, runned norton windoctor to clean the registry and still i cant see my plextor 24x. I need serious help here

I had trouble with this when I used Adaptec's latest ASPI drivers. I went back to ForceASPI's version, 4.60 I believe, and then EAC worked fine again.

Adaptec's 4.60 ASPI drivers work great for me under Win98 and Win2k; 4.70 has caused me some issues under both OS's so I went back to 4.60.

I'll second (or third) that w/ forceaspi. I'm running win xp pro sp 1 and adaptec's aspi 4.7x is totally botched. Forceaspi works terrific for me.

I fourth that. Win XP. But instead of downgrading to ASPI 4.60, i chose to install ASAPI, the alternative ASPI layer.

try adding the wnaspi32.dll to your EAC folder. http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#download
example C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy <---place it here

Damn! Same problem by me. EAC just detects virtual drives or drives, which are not connected with an Audio-cable to my soundcard.

Usually I don't need such a cable, because I always rip and never hear Audio before ripping. But because of this problem, that EAC don't want to detect my drives, I build in one to test my drive - and I can listen to music from the drive with WinAMP... But EAC doesn't believe, that there's a drive with an Audio-CD

Even Nero accepts my CDs and is able to save tracks.

wnaspi.dll can't be downloaded from nero.com. ftp://ftp6.nero.com/wnaspi32.dll is unreachable for the moment.

Any ideas? I wonder why EAC suddenly doesn't work... I installed daemon tools long time ago, and I could rip fine... I didn't install any aspi-drivers since then...

Hope, I can rip again, so fast as possible

I'm a happy Adaptec's ASPI user with the help of a single registry key. Combination of WinXP, EAC, latest ASPI and this works fine here.

I'll try this Aspifix too. Tanks.

But my EAC is working now. I found the wnaspi.dll from Nero, and copied it to EAC. Yet it didn't work, but after clicking "use installed external Aspi-Interface" in EAC-Options, my drives showed the songtitles under EAC again.

So I can rip now but I hope, I'll have no disadvantages with "external Aspi-Interface", instead of "native Win32-Interface"...
Any comments to that of other users, using these settings?

And there is still one thing not working: EAC can't connect to the host of CDDB-database. Hope the reason for this is the CDDB-Server, not my EAC....

Ok, I have no problems any more... right present for christmas...

EAC is working fine, as it did before. Aspi-drivers seems to be important under WinXP, and is seems, that they often cause problems...


For all having the same problem:

Download Asapi.exe from e.g. http://www.vob.de/de/Downloads.htm
With this ASAPI Interface, u'll have no problems any more, as far as u change win32-Interface to Aspi-Interface in EAC-Options...

bye

I can confirm that this suggestion will resolve the problem. It has worked for me every time!
