I had the same problem and after looking into the registry files and driving everybody crazy around me , I made the diagnosis that software and drivers and decoders were fine and up to date - and that it was then a Hardware problem - and the laser eye needed to be '"tweaked". Asking around nobody knew how to tweak a laser eye ....??
I then used an external USB Disc drive and played DVD's with ease Hoooray !! Now looking to replace the CDRom DVD Drive of my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo ....all sounds very expensive - Thanks FIxYa for the help - Keep the good work up !!
Regards

    I have had computers lie to me telling me that all drivers were up to date and functioning properly but in reality I reinstall device and drivers and all was fine. not all windows installed drivers work properly but show no errors. whql drivers by the manufacturer are the best bet. when you plugged the usb in the machine installed and configured the drive that is why it worked for you. believe me I been doin this for 12 yrs and don't have much hair left..

I cannot hear sound system play cds and videos

Every CD/DVD-ROM drive has an audio port opened. An audio cable connects to the back side of the CD/DVD-ROM and connects to the motherboard. Most MB's have two four pin audio ports, one slot white in color and a second black in color. As far as the CD/DVD-ROM not reading the disk. Make sure the disk is free from scratches; oils from you're fingers or just plain dust. Open the drawl and blow out the CD-ROM drive or buy a CD cleaner which will clean the internal laser. These days it’s hard to find a CD/DVD ROM drive with a warranty longer than 1 year. Most ppl buy a new one when it fails to read CD's.

My DVD drive can read a CD-ROM and play an audio CD, but it cannot play a DVD

Your computer is missing a DVD decoder software. Simply download and install VLC media player and K-Lite codec. Both are free download. You will find the download link by simply doing a google search.

DELL laptop does not read blank DVDs

the combo drive you listed above is a cd-rw/ DVD-ROM....meaning that it will play and burn cd, cd-r, and cd-rw disks. the dvd rom will only be able to play dvd-rom and dvd-r disks providing they are in the proper format. check that the disk in question is not a dvd-rw or (+2) disk. the drive will not recognize that a disk is in the drive if the disk isnt compatable. try a dvd movie, if that works then a dvd-r, if that works then try a dvd-rw +1. if the last option doesnt work then you will have to stick with the dvd-rom and dvd-r, or purchase a dvd-rw drive to install.

GOOD LUCK AND DONT FORGET TO RATE MY POST!! :D

Hi there

Will first of all is it a dvd rom/ cd rom drive or just a dvd rom, because you cant use cds in dvd drives! Second of all, make sure your driver is fully updated, it might be missing something that it needs that will fix the problem after you update it!
