burns CDs and DVDs at a fraction of the set speed and plays back audio and video slowly and with a rhythmic interference, almost like a crack in a record.
Could be a couple of things. 1 the software that works the drive could be playing up, but 2 more likely that the drive itself is on its last legs.
These bare drives are now so cheap that I would just replace it and see what happens when you put the new on in.
You don't have to replace like for like, juts choose one you fancy.

Thank you for your prompt reply to my query. What you say confirms what I expected, that the drive is past its best. I'll invest in a new one.
