Solution for ASPI problems in EAC (No CD Found Problem) - Page 6 - Digital-Inn

memeboy · 16-04-2004

I was using EAC with wonderful results [THANK YOU THANK YOU], until it stopped recognizing the CDs in the drive. No CD found.
Not knowing the problem, I tried to download a new copy of EAC, but I am unable to download. I have been trying for days but nothing happens when I click on the download button.
thank you

I have cured the problems. The problem in downloading was with my browser. As for the no CD found problem, that has been cured by the aspi32.dll file from nero as per instructions in sticky post. thanks!
best,

i've been reading all the solutions here, but i have Windows ME and i like to know if someone could explain how to solve the "The ASPI interface could not be initialised correctly! (Error E8h)
(No host adapters found)" problem for the Millenium Edition.

While there is an ongoing debate about using SPT1 or ASPI, here is an interesting KB article concerning performance limitations with SPT1. Please check out the attached PDF.

Your comments please but as a programmer I would see the logic of specifying ASPI for hardware level access.

Andre Wiethoff · 23-05-2004

I can see no performance problems. You can easily use SPTI using an additional thread (like EAC does)...

cu, Andre

Thank you Andre, now I feel safe to remove my ASPI layer and revert back to SPT1.

Let me explain in-depth what my symptoms are, because they seem to be a mixture of what has bee´n said around here.

a.) All AudioCD ripping utilities can identify the drives and recognize that there is an AudioCD in the drive (they even use CDDB/FreeDB right), and play the audio.

b.) None of them can rip any part of an audio track. EAC gives the 'no extraction command found for this drive' error, and other progs give other errors, CD-Ex e.g. creates an empty wav file of the correct length but does not even produce an error message.

c.) WMP, on the other hand, CAN rip audio tracks (and encode them to wmv), but that is not an option for me.

d.) DVD rippers (which also use ASPI) can rip DVD files, some cannot. In SmartRipper, it works when I select "normal" (whatever drivers those are) and not ASPI.

e.) I tried: the 4.6 ASPI and the 4.71.

f.) I tried: putting various version of the Nero winaspi32.dll in the EAC folder and setting EAC to using the external layer.

g.) I tried: installing vob ASPI and setting EAC to use that.

h.) I tried: uninstalling all other CD rippers but EAX.

i.) I tried: using killaspi.bat from ForceAspi and then installing ASPI anew. When no ASPI was installed, EAC correctly told me so and wouldn't start.

j.) Both my drives (a cd burner and a dvd rom drive) were able to rip audio before; as far as I remember even on my current XP installation (I have not ripped audio for quite some time now).

I think that's all.

My guess is that either

I.) there is some setting somewhere in the system that disallows everything else than the WMP to rip audio digitally or that
II.) there needs to be some setting changed in XP to put my drives back to digital extraction (whatever program changed that).

Please, if anybody has any suggestions, as to what programs could be the problem, what I could try, what I could read (related trouble keywords), everything is more than welcome!

My email is JazzMC@gmx.de and my ICQ 168517275, if someone should want to get in touch with me personally :-)

Cheers,

Jan.

My situation is exactly the same. I was able to rip audio cds perfectly a few months ago, but something changed between then and now, obviously. I'd really rather not reinstall XP just to be able to rip audio cds again. There has to be a solution.

Here is my system configuration, if any of it helps:
Shuttle AK31A v3 motherboard with VIA KT266A chipset
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Windows XP Professional SP1 (with all updates installed)
Creative DVD6240E IDE
TDK CDRW401240X IDE
Asus 5224A IDE

Just to clarify, I had no ASPI drivers installed when using EAC before. All CD-ripping programs quit working sometime between then and now, for reasons unknown to me. I've since tried it with the latest Adaptec ASPI layer, ForceASPI (with the 4.60 set), and Nero's WNASPI32.DLL.

EAC says "Can't find matching read command"
dbPowerAmp MC says "CODEC decompression error for '\\CdRom\Trackxx.cda' Unable to read CD, scratched disk?"

Yet, Windows Media Player ripped to .wma flawlessly, and I'm able to play CD audio in Winamp, WMP, EAC, or any other player.

Any help would be appreciated, just post on this thread. If you need any other information, just request it. I'd really like to rip all of my collection to add to the AccurateRip DB.

Hi Everybody!
Do I need to have administrative rights to use Nero ASPI with EAC under Win2k? Putting wnaspi.dll into EAC dir doesn't seem to help, the only thing that changes, that the 'External ASPI layer' is not greyed out anymore, but the CD-ROM drive is still not recognised.

I am unable to install forceASPI or Adaptec ASPI, and the Native NT layer is also not working whithout administrative rights. (computer in the office).
I didn't try ASAPI yet (unable to get it, www.vob.de seems to be down).

Btw. a year ago i was trying to install adaptec ASPI on my Win98SE at home with very bad results. My CD drive was not recognised anymore by Windows and i had to reinstall the whole thing. Since then I'm much more careful...

Installing the nforce2 IDE interface drivers did indeed hose EAC, but copying the Adaptec wnaspi32.dll (v 4.71) to the EAC directory fixed it for me.

Please make sure that you restart EAC after changing ASPI options!

Hi, Did you find a solution for this? I have the EXACT same problem. Tried everything in this thread but no luck. All of my other burning programs detect both of my drives just fine but EAC can't find a single one. I'm going crazy!! Any other Win2K users having a problem detecting drives with EAC?

16-07-2004

i have been using X-ing Mp3 ripping prgram, On Win XP(Ver:2002) and it keeps asking for or looking for Win32 aspi.dll , so yes in some cases it is nessary to get them, The Gerneric aspi.dll dose'nt allways work it just makes things look like thay work, so it is good to have the drivers that is desinged for your hardware

I'm having this same problem, but with windows 98 Se.. I've tried almost everything.. Updating the ASPI drivers, using the nero ones, uninstalling the ASPI drivers and re-installing, uninstalling EAC and reinstalling.. nothing seems to work.. Just any help would be nice..

m1t0s1s · 17-08-2004

I have had that problem too. I was using Exact Audio Copy 0.9 Beta 4 [Ubernet.org] on a fresh install of Windows 98 SE with no external aspi installed, only the ones that come with windows. After installing Adaptec ASPI 4.71.a2 it stopped working. So I deleted the adaptec garbage, then copied the files from the windows cabs files. It worked fine.

I think the files were winaspi.dll, wnaspi32.dll, wowpost.exe, apix.vxd. Please check your adaptec aspi archive for the files you need to delete/replace with Windows'.

If that is too hard, or doesn't work, maybe reinstall windows 98. Deltree /y windows first, to delete the registry garbage and everything.

I prefer using executables whenever possible (less mess with install/uninstall) but what options do I have for the ASPI file on WinXP? All instructions are to put it in the install folder in Program Files > EAC. Anyone know how to get around this?
