Hello
I was ripping some CDs yesterday and found I had one that played very distorted on my new PC. (PC is new to me, it is actually a 2013 model)
The CD plays OK on another PC and on my hifi. My PC also plays all other audio CDs perfectly.
I have searched for new firmware but cant find any for that specific drive.
I have updated the PC bios .
I also changed the region for the drive to UK.

We moved the DVD player into Sams PC and the same happens there, the CD in question is very distorted.
Now I have Sams DVD drive the CD plays perfectly on my PC.

The CD in question is The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac and the DVD drive is a PLDS dvd+-rw dh-16acs.
So what is it that could cause this? It has me stumped.

thanks
Mike
