Hallo rojash, sorry if I got the name wrong, only bear with me, I grew up with wind-up gramophones. It seems to be called 'audio device-driver' I have since read a forum on Cnet where others have had a problem loading the exact driver and they have gone back to their old one. Although I did see I think in device manager you could update the driver from there but maybe not even then, as my computer was made up in a shop and not a known brand.
Your second query, yes I have a CD player separate to the DVD
A CD sounds just as good on the DVD using the 3 above programmes, but try a DVD and it is crackly and very distorted bubbly sound. If it 's possible the DVD player recognises a CD for what it is and reroutes it to the CD player, then I guess it's a new one. The most I could be capable of is pulling the ribbon cable out and putting it back again. I have been a while getting back because the Answerbank doesnt seem to Email me anymore that I have a message. Thanks for your help
