Somplayer says they’ve tried using a cd player, but all they hear is light static and no words are popping up. They think the portadisc is useless.
First you should know that Cd players are not supposed produce any sound in this game currently both in SP and MP!!!it should have text to display as it does for radio and TV, and potentially boredom reduction.
However, we did not see a fix for this issue in the changelog for build 41.66, so hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch.
How do I fix my cd player, valutech portadisc not working in project zomboid?
If bug has been fixed then you should make sure: if you turn it on and add the CD to the CD player then it will probably work before and after the radio and TV broadcasts have finished, but if you don’t have batteries and the CD or CD player is not turned on then it may not work.
Make sure you have a cd player equipped in either the primary or secondary slot!
