sound

[marystevie]

When i am playing music through itunes or the internet the sound on my laptop if fine. As soon as i try playing a DVD/ CD the sound becomes distorted and the DVD/ CD doesn't play properly. I think there may be a problem with the disk drive but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas of whats wrong or how to fix it.
Thanks
PS - sorry if this is in the wrong place...

Can you test the DVD/CD's in another system? Do the DVD's play fine in a stand alone player? If so i would say that your guess is right that there is something wrong with that drive.

yea, they do work in other places.
so...drive then, thanks

Its also possible that the cd/dvd doesnt have the correct codec installed. Itunes and other streaming media work a little differently than playing something off of a disk.

True. Cant try to install the KLite Codec pack. If it works then it was the codecs.

I'm a complete newby with computers, dont know a thing. I've already got a version of KLite codec pack, shoul i try unistalling this one and installing another??

Download the K-Lite Codec Pack

Download the latest full version and install it. See if that works.
