Playing CDs with Multimedia Content
 

I only recently started having this problem, but it is happening on both my personal and work computers, so I assume it is related to some update I downloaded and installed.

The problem is getting the audio content of a CD to play after the multimedia portion is stopped. The multimedia stuff automatically starts, as it always has, but unlike before, once I exit out of it, I can no longer get the audio content to play on any player (Windows Media Player, WinAmp, etc.). Before, both would launch simultaneously, so when I exited the multimedia, the audio would still be recognized. Now, there is no recognition of the audio content at all.

Any suggestions?
