These days, Windows Media Player defaults to digitally ripping the CD in order ot play it. The feature is called something like "play digitally" or somesuch. If you uncheck that feature in windows media player, then it will play the disc as an audio CD at the normal 1x spin speed and then we shall see if the drive is able to play the disc's outer edges.
Under Vista, Right click the top bar somewhere (why do menus default to hidden now in every MS app?) got to Tools, Options. Then under Devices, click the drive and hit properties.
Odds are digital will be the only choice though, analog is there but disabled for me. I don't think integrated sound cards have the necessary input anymore for CD for a while now.
