| 1427116 | 2016-10-09 01:24:00 | I have the Anniversary Update Version of Win 10 Pro on my Win 10 64 bit laptop I can readily play DVDs but when I insert an Audio CD into the Drive there is no recognition that there is a disk in the drive. I tried several CDs in case the first one was faulty. I have been on the Microsoft Community Forum and seen lots of similar complaints but none of the (few) solutions suggested e.g. "Speakers , Advanced untick Exclusive etc." works. Microsoft staff themselves make silly suggestions like "Turn Auto Play on" I had not tried to play an audio CD on Win 10 prior to the Anniversary update but all references I have read suggest that the problem existed right from Win 10 first version. Has any member had any success with this problem? If so I should love to hear what worked for you. |

| 1427117 | 2016-10-09 01:55:00 | Seems a bit odd that a Audio CD wont read -- Tried Cleaning them ? ( don't laugh seem MANY a clean fixes the problems) Failing that have you tried running the trouble shooter. Fron search type in Troubleshoot Select Find and fix Problems. Select the Audio Playback. If this Computer has been upgraded from a previous OS, that often causes various problems. What you should get when inserting a Audio CD, bottom Right is this : 7549 |

| 1427118 | 2016-10-09 03:07:00 | Sorry, can't help you solve your problem but autoload works fine here. Tried AU and latest Insider and both work as expected (get a prompt for what to use to play it). | linw (53) | ||
| 1427119 | 2016-10-15 23:46:00 | Thanks for your help.Wainui. I ran the "troubleshoot " showed no problems but did a limited (clean tissue) clean of CD and it worked on that CD. I then went to buy a new CD /DVD Cleaner kit ( I had finished my old one). To my surprise what a battle to find where I could buy one.. I rang several stores e.g. JB Hi Fi, PB Tech, Noel Leeming, OfficeMax ,Jaycar, Real Groovy Records etc.. to no avail. Most stores were helpful in suggesting who else to try. Finally I managed to get their last one at a Video Store - a Pudney. It seems today's common thought process is to just use a Microfibre cloth by itself , or perhaps add Window Cleaner to the cloth. I was amazed to read on the Internet that some suggestions for cleaning included Peanut Butter and also non -whitening toothpaste. Thanks again Neil |

| 1427120 | 2016-10-16 01:25:00 | Haven't used any kits for years. Simple solution ( and cheap) soft tissue and Isopropyl Alcohol. You can get it from Chemists, Last lot I got was a couple of 500ML bottles, although they did ask why I wanted so much :illogical If in a hurry I just puff/blow on them, steaming up and wipe with a tissue. Doing a quick google search places like Bunnings have smaller amounts. www.bunnings.co.nz All it does is remove the greasy finger prints or oils from your hands, dust etc, which can cause the lasers in the Drives not to read. |
