Mat****a cdvd

Just downloaded Windows Media Player 9 for Windows 98SE, Windows 2K. The problem is when I insert a Audio CD, I get a pop-up windows.....unable to play in digital mode, check ok to play in analog mode...in doing this I get a Help message window code. This tells me to go to media player , tools, options to change to analog/digital mode. When I do this I do not get a window with this option? Do I need Software updates? This audio cd works fine in CD Delux cd player.
Any ideas is appreciated.
