No Audio CD with El Torito (Users)

Hi KormaX!

The El Torito infrastructure lets you access the data contents of a bootable CD or DVD through the BIOS, similar to how you access LBA harddisks and SSD. This also means that you cannot use El Torito for playing audio, alas.

Note that you are also not supposed to CHANGE the disk after booting, so the driver normally only works for the boot medium itself. If it works in other situations for you, I would like to hear which and also which tricks you applied to get it to work in those contexts

Which of the possible USB drivers have you tried yet and what were your results or error messages?

Regards, Eric
