| 335229 | 2005-03-18 01:33:00 | When i play music cds in my computer it always jumps and stutters on certain tracks. I've tried windows media player, realplayer and itunes, but it still doesn't work right with any of them. Anyone know what could be wrong. Thanks! |

Is there anything else, on the same IDE connection as this CD ROM?? Like another cd / dvd / or hard drive?? And what version of Windows is installed?? |

| 335231 | 2005-03-18 04:18:00 | Another possibility is that you are using windows xp and it is trying to use digital extraction to play the music CDs. I have seen some drives that just don't seem to work right with this option. You can try and disable it by doing this: Open My Computer -> Right-click on the drive icon and choose Properties -> Click on the tab named Hardware -> Double click on the relevant drive in the list of drives-> Goto the tab named Properties -> Uncheck the "use digital audio for this device". |
