I posted this in another forum for 2 days and no replies.
Thought I would move it here.
　
HI
Weird problem when playing music cd's on my desktop pc.
When I insert a pre-recorded cd or one that I made into my cd/dvd player on the computer when the first track plays the music warbles, or skips or cuts out for a second or the volume drops to zero and then back to normal.
The pc is still under warranty so I had the cd/dvd player replaced.
It worked for about a week then started again.

The problem had been intermittant.

Since I bought the pc I added a 1tb WD hard drive.
Then installed Itunes, Roxio Media Player 2010 and Total Recorder software.

I never used the cd/dvd until after all of the above was installed.

I doubt this could be a hardware problem. (Just my guess)
Again it only happens when the cd plays the first track.
I double checked and made sure the latest version of all the software is isntalled.

How or can I trouble shoot this problem???
What I have done so far.
I uninstalled all the programs but Roxio, I read something that if I remove it I have to pay to reinstall???? Will follow up on this.
Anyway,,, problem is still there.
Checked on a firmware update for the dvd drive and the firmware is still ver.1.0.
Any suggestions?

Are there driver updates for your audio output device?

DUH??????
Kick me in the butt! (forgot about the audio cause it is built in on the motherboard.) This is the first pc I didn't build and forgot about the audio!
Audio is built in Realtek.
The pc is a Dell. I'll log on to the Dell site and check for updates. Then go to Realtek and see what is there.
Thanks
