Can't play recorded CD's
About 90% of the time the CD player won't play cd's I've
recorded. They play fine on other PC's. Original CD's will play. Hardware is DVD-ROM. Plays DVD's fine also using PowerDVD. Most of the time I put in the recorded audio CD it is not detected. I can hear the drive spin a few times, then quit. I have hunted and found these same symptons listed elsewhere, but never a solution, hopefully one will be found here. gm |

It has do to with the laser. Good DVD-rom drives have two different lasers to read different types of discs. Your drive probably has just one laser for reading DVD discs. With that said, there is a solution. Many times CD-RW discs work in DVD-rom drives that don't work with CD-R discs. It has to do with the reflectivity of the CD-RW discs. It closly matches a DVD, so that it's within the tolerances of the drive. |
