There is in Cool Edit Pro (and probably in other versions) under
Options/Device_Order a panel for Recording Devices. The entry really
should be your sound card which means that any problems hearing the CD
should be sound card related rather than Cool Edit.

What are you using, a sound card or a motherboard chip? What is the make
and model?

if you are recording from a built in cd player you would be much better off
by 'ripping' the cd using some ripping software
i.e. taking a direct digital copy, it saves the audio passing through the
sound card electronics

Try EZ CD creator again, but this time before you do;

Disbale the service named IMAPI CD-Burning COM service.
Reboot.

EZ CD creator should work now. If not, download the free trial version
of Nero at www.nero.com.
