i have my brand new QPS Que! Firewire CDRW(8x4x32) on when i turn my imac on. when i insert an audio CD into it, it starts playing it as usual, but the CD module in the control strip dosent list the tracks, and when i eject the disk and insert the musicc disc into the iMacs DVD drive, it lists the tracks in the CD module, but no sound is produced, even though its playing. whats wrong and how can i solve it ?
Thanks.

I noticed this same sort of problem with a FW-connected CD (I have the pricier Que drive). Here's what you might try and why. Too bad your post was ignored for over two weeks. I just now got this working myself. I think Apple goofed.

First it's the Mac's job to recognize both CD drives in the Sound C-Strip and the CD- C-Strip modules. There should be menu items for both devices within these menus, and if you open the 9.1 sound control panel, under the input tab you should see two listings for "CD": one for the internal DVD (ATAPI, right?) and another one for the FW-connected device. How to get it to work?

Since your Fire drive probably came with Toast, you're entitled to an extension called "Toast FireWire Support" version 1.0.5. (get it at roxio.com) With this extension running (that is, restart the iMac with this item in the Extensions folder), Toast can mount the CD and add the drive to the control strip menus and the sound control panel.

One more thing . . .

Since the CD plays okay from the Fire drive anyway, check that your sound input in the Sound control panel is switchable from the Fire drive to the internal DVD. You can only have one "program source" playing at a time. And just now I crashed my 500 MHz G4 because I tried to play two CDs at the same time and toggle the sound back and forth between them.

I have iTunes 1.1 installed and I'm able to play and listen to music from both the internal and Que drive. The latest version of iTunes supports the Que drives and installs it's own firewire support extension. I don't no about the CD module because I don't have it install in my control strip. But I was able to play an audio CD between the two drives without having to mess with the Sound Input in the Sound control panel. If you have Toast install, make sure you remove all Toast extensions before installing iTunes 1.1. Hope this helps.
