I'm having a very annoying problem with my new 40x12x48x CD-RW drive that I got for Christmas... digital reading isn't working properly, when I play a CD, it skips like a drunken school girl. I really want my digital reading to work, as I like to use the Windoze Media Player equalizer. The digital worked flawlessly on my old CD-ROM drive (don't know the model), so I don't get why the hell it's not working on this. I've tried for hours to get it working right.
The drive came with no drivers. The first thing I did was turn on DMA, which Windoze left off for who knows why. This greatly decreased the skipping, but didn't eliminate it. Other performance settings that I've ensured are on are read ahead, and error protection. I've also tried it on mutiple CDs, CDs that played perfectly fine on the old drive.
I'm out of ideas other than reformatting Windows, which I plan to do this weekend. Though I'm doubting I'll get any help, does anybody have any experience with this type of thing or have any ideas on what else I should try before reformatting?
