CD burner will play CDs but not burn correctly

I have Dell inspiron 1720 I bought 1 year ago (just in time for the guarantee at the end) and the CD/DVD writer will play media correctly, but when I try to burn CDs of any type they will not play in any stereo at all. When the problem started they would play but a few songs would be crackling, now they don't play at all. My records are closed properly so I tried to download the driver from dell.com, but when I open it, it will not install because it says I need to close applications even if everything is closed. I don't know if it's a driver problem or what, but I need a CD burner, who works for the school!

  • After being opened for a while (with several tabs) Firefox does generally and repeatedly play a sound - video will play again, but not sound.

    This problem started happening only recently. I often keep my Firefox open all night with sites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs, including but not limited to Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit. Sometimes, after a few hours/days to not restart Firefox or my computer, Firefox starts to become insensitive - i.e., pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser and videos will have up to 30 seconds to start playing. In addition, the sound stops playing. If I start a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive load, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, sites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, stop sound.

    Note that this is different from an incident of flash plugin - when flash falls down, the audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; If I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens the same way again until I restart my computer completely.

    Also of note: I had, in the past, this same thing happens, but rainymood.com continued to play, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I don't know where to start. Also, sometimes it's only a problem of Firefox specific, which means other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my computer all stop making sounds, with the exception of Ventrilo, which works, but is also insensitive in the beginning.

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • DVD/CD drive will read DVD but not CD

    My DVD player plays DVD but not CD.  Whenever I try to play a CD, the player is a kind of hum noise.  Finally, the Player opens and a popup tells me to insert a disc.

    I tried a system restore and the automated Microsoft fixit tool.  Nothing has worked.

    I use Vista Ultimate.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

    Hello

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. do you get any error code/messages?

    3. what version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    5. did you check the black ink level?

    I suggest to check the settings of the printer and make sure it is set up for photos and text. You can also clean the print head and check. Check the manual of the printer for the same thing.

    If that is not enough then you can uninstall the driver , and then install the latest driver on the manufacturer's Web site.

    I tried to clean the eye of laser of cd players, but it did not help.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Hello

    This sounds like the CD burner doesn't burn CD correctly.
    You suggested that you used different types of CD.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of compatible media.
    These media has been tested and it works correctly.

    But if this happens with all CD, so possibly the drive cannot work properly and only a replacement would solve that problem.

  • Restored iPhone 6 sauvegardΘ iCloud, ok except iTunes.Full library if poster not only purchase music. Some songs will play-"product is not available.

    I use an iPhone 6, 64G.  Running iOS 9.3.1 (I3E238); It comes with the music on the iPhone app.  My phone was stolen and I restored the replacement using iCloud.  Everything works, and all the information has been restored except music.  I tried enabling iCloud music library in the settings, and I get this message:

    iCloud music library can be activated - you can turn it on later Music of parameters (this is what I did). So far, your music is not available on other devices.

    During this time, all my music is available on my iPad, what is on the device which is in the cloud.

    In addition, the music that shows on my iPhone is purchased one and the same music then no, not all.  When I try to play any song, I get the following message:

    "Product is not available" - this song cannot be read.

    I'm not sure what more I need to do.  Should I sync with iTunes on my computer?  I think that was part of restoring from iCloud.

    Thank you!

    You use the same Apple that you had before you lose your phone ID? Is so iCloud music must synchronize but all your music which comes from your computer (such as the ripped CD) would not part of the backup to iCloud. You'd have to resynchronize only the music using iTunes.

    Flash will load the audio from a video, but the video display will be green.  The player then crashes.  Initially, this was just my videos from YouTube.com, but now I have problems with Windows Media Player Classic (and sometimes with Windows Media Player).  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.  Flash is not displayed in my programs, but can I uninstall in Control Panel.
