We've got a relatively new Windows 7 64bit install on our laptop that won't play .cda audio files. The standard Windows Media Player 12 that comes with W7 is installed. Windows is updated currently. Windows can see the .cda audio file on the CD in the Optical drive, it just won't play it. When we attempt to play the .cda file, Windows plays one of the stock music programs that comes with W7 instead.
This is all very curious as we've still got XP installed on our old laptop. XP plays the .cda audio file with the XP version of WMP just fine.
Any tips or advice on how to solve this problem in Windows 7?
If it makes any difference, the .cda is a self recorded file and not a commercial CD.
Also note that there is no audio or video player on the W7 laptop other than WMP and WMC, neither of which will play the .cda audio file.
