Tried this on several machines. Cannot reproduce. Anyone else having this issue and can give more info?

I just tried it in 32-bit Windows XP and CD music seemed to work properly there. So it's definitely fixed for some computers.
My normal machine runs 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. Have you tested the music in that version of Windows yet?

In fact I tested with:
* Linux
* Windows XP 32Bit (SP3)
* Windows 7 Starter 32 Bit (via Virtual Drive as my eeePC does not have a CD drive)
* Windows 7 Home 64Bit
Addendum:
So I am still left with some possibilities:
* It's a Rebirth bug (unlikely but then I can do something about it)
* It's a SDL bug (then I can only wait for a new SDL version)
* It's an issue with your particular machine (which I have no idea how it can happen as you cannot really mess up much with CD Audio support... MSCDEX-days are long over
)

I doubt it's a computer issue because I'm still having it too, and the laptop I use for these games I've never modified at all.

Can you give info which OS you use. Specifically which version, architecture and so forth.

I know I'm on windows vista 32-bit (assuming that's the architecture?). Apart from that I never really bothered to pay attention.

I just tested this with a laptop running the same version of Windows that my computer runs (64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1). Same problem.
What versions of Descent 2 are you guys playing from? I'm using the one from the Definitive Collection (the one with 8 audio tracks).
@Zico: How exactly are you testing this? Are you testing in the menus or the levels?

I am using the CDs from the Europe release of Descent 2 and also the Descent 2 CD from the Definitive Collection. Checking menu->credits track transition as well as level tracks. Initial tests done with a special Audio CD with 11 tracks with a runtime of 3 seconds per track (to speed up testing). All tests ran fine.
