Can someone help me with my problem?

I have a Reveal multimedia package consisting of a SC400 Reg.G soundcard
and a Reveal 4X CD-ROM which Windows95 "plug-an-play detects" as "GoldStar
CD-ROM GCD-R540". The soundcard is mounted in an ISA-slot and the CD-ROM is
connected directly to one of the IDE-slots on my pentium motherboard. 

Everything works just fine with this configuration except one thing:
playback of  audio CDs. If I use the shareware-program "Audiostation" that
came with the package, I CAN play audio-CDs, but Windows95's own CD-player
won't work. 
When I insert an audio-CD into my CD-ROM and start Windows95's CD-player it
says "Data or no disc loaded". 
The filetype "CD audio" is recognized by my system, because I can see "CD
audio" as a "unit" in the "mediaplayer".

I would appreciate very much if some "multimedia-guru" out there can help
me to solve this problem. Please send your answers to marlun@usa.net.

Best Regards,

Martin Lundborg
