- Digital CD Playback (default: off). You get to play back a CD even if there’s no direct connection between the CD-ROM and the sound card because the CD data is sent the read data to the sound card.

- Paranoia No Verify: Employs the full CD paranoia ripping method without having the verification option enabled.
