I have a new CD which plays fine on my stereo but won't work on my computer drive, yet other CDs are working fine in the computer drive. I am completeley baffled. The CD says it is designed for use in both CD compatible ans Super audio CD players if that's at all relevant... Amyone got the slightest idea what's going on here?
Audio cd puzzle - who can solve it??

Hello! Welcome to TechSpot!
Whats the title?
Can you view the root dir of cd?
Is it a CD x-tra, video stuff?
If so some times I've found cd x-tra giving me grief.
Try the cd in quest in a standard dvd player hooked up to a TV.
I've even found some cd audio's have hidden mp3's on them.

Yeah, try viewing the CD in Windows Explorer. I know some of them won't play unless they use there own media player. If AutoPlay is disabled that could be causing this. What CD is it anyway though?
the cd just makes a clunking noise in the drive
It works in my other computer and all my other cds work in this computer. It's Bob Dylan, by the way.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.
If it`s only that one cd that wont play on your computer, then it`s probably just some sort of compatibility issue with that particular cd.
If it were me, I`d just forget about it.
Doing a firmware update may not help, and in any case firmware updates have be known to go wrong, and leave people with a cd drive that wont play anything.

ok - thanks for the advice!
I guess it isn't worth the risk.
