CD drive does not read discs, can not update "multimedia controller" in Device Manager

Hello, I tried to get my CD drive to read CDs and DVDs and we tried the update driver software.

It says my driver "matshita dvd ram uj 850 s ATA device ' is up-to-date, but I see no specific driver CD, but no yellow exclamation point in" readers of CD-ROM/DVD-Rom ".

The only thing with a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager is in "other devices" and is called "multimedia controller".

When I try to update this device it says

"windows driver not found software for your device.

I tried to uninstall the driver and then restart, but he still has the exclamation yellow on restart.

I have a sony VAIO pcg8w1m with windows 7 ultimate.
Does anyone know which specific driver, I'm looking or if something can be a problem?
Someone at - it other ideas I could try? Thanks for reading this!

OK, for the problem with the CD of music sometimes having "exclusive mode" active "blocks" audio CD so try disabling the "exclusive mode":

Right click on the speaker icon in the Notification area of the taskbar > playback devices > then under "Playback" tab, click on "Speakers" (or the default unit) > properties > advanced > remove the check mark in front of "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" > OK

For the "unknown device" can you, in Device Manager, right click on the "unknown device" and "Uninstall" the device and restart the computer and let Windows redetect the device.

The device still presents itself as an "unknown device"?

    I currently have the 8.15.10.2189 Intel HD Graphics driver version and want to upgrade to 8.15.10.2353 driver but everytime I download, unzip the file and open the file, it will extract and request "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer" I click on "Yes" and then it disappears and nothing happens at all.

    I was just wondering, if the driver needed to be installed in a certain order. I also had my add on the Vodaphone mobile card plugged into slot on the side that would make a difference?

    in any well any help would be great

    Hello

    As far as I know that the WLan card was optional on this unit. In this case, if you bought the device with wireless network card that WLAN should appears in Device Manager. But if you bought the laptop without the WLan card you won't find it in Device Manager.

    PS: The recovery CD already includes the WLan driver and you don't need to t in addition no driver to install.

  • NI-VISA 5.3 driver Wizard does not support USB 3.0 devices

    Hi all

    It seems that NI-VISA 5.3 does not support USB 3.0 devices. When I try to use the driver Wizard to create a driver for a USB 3.0 device, I get the error "ERROR-1073807178: device descriptor error - value not valid bMaxPacketSize0 (must be set to 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes). I noticed that the unit has been giving wMaxPacketSize0 of 512 (2 ^ 9). But the driver Wizard treats the value 9. So I think that Assistant driver does not support USB 3.0 devices. If someone could confirm this?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Jackie

    Hello Jackie,.

    Unfortunately, USB 3.0 is not officially supported in VISA 5.3 when you use VISA Driver Wizard.

    A non-official solution is to work around the "information in the descriptor' by selecting 'Other' in the list of devices. You will need to manually enter the 'USB manufacturer ID (vendor ID)' and 'type USB (Product ID) Code. You will then need to find your driver in Windows Device Manager, right click and select "update driver software". This, however, is not a workaround solution guaranteed as NI-VISA 5.3 is not officially compatible USB 3.0.

  • CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

    My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

    Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

    Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

    If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
    After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.
    After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle.

  • The CD/DVD drive does not read discs

    Hi, I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ40 with optiarc DVD RW AD - 7561 ATA Device driver, recently the drive does not work properly. It can read and burn the disc, that I already used, but when it's a new (disc white) it does not read the disc.  It has an error message "make sure that the disc uses a format windows recognizes. If the drive is not formatted, you must format it before you use it. "the disc is the format that would recognize the system.  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled from the Device Manager, but nothing works, tried too much microsoft fixit, always the same.  Hope that there is another work around here... Thank you...

    Have you tried using other burning software?

  • MY CD/DVD DRIVE DOES NOT READ THE DISC READABLE

    IT would NOT be RETURNING to PLAY AUDIO CD IN iTUNES or WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

    HELP PLZ

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART 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 coward
    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 check the cables
    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 system manufacturer
    and the manufacturer of the 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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    drive from someone with the same model.

  • DVD/CD driver does not properly, the discs are not read.

    I tried different discs and none are read which is very annoying, because I can not install my new printer! When I checked the driver, the following message is displayed:

    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

    I click for solutions and he's looking for a few seconds and then nothing happens. I tried it 3 days ago and still today, but it still does not work, can I do?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    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.

    Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
    them before.

  • Satellite L50D-B - faulty DVD drive does not recognize discs

    Bought 2 months ago. The reader agrees not the CD, DVD or anything like that.
    The name of the drive does not appear on the disc and if you double click on the DVD drive icon (even if a disc is inserted) the drawer opens and says please insert a disk. I tried several discs are not the issue.

    So far I got technical support where I bought it.
    They said to do a reinstall I did - with the full drive clean. I tried to update the drivers, but the computer insists on the fact that they are later. If I search my model number on the site of Toshiba driver support he gets rejected, and I have no access to (Toshiba) drivers.

    I checked a few other forums and tried the regedit fix, but which is also irrelevant. If no solution is found (and I've lost hours of my life on this subject) then this laptop is going back for a refund and I'll get one who will perform the simple task of playing a DVD.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you have such a stupid problem with your machine. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    In my opinion you should not waste your time checking and search for some drivers who probably will not help at all.

    Reinstall the original operating system that you have with your machine and test functionality with the factory settings. If the result is the same contact your reseller or Toshiba service provider directly and ask for help. They can check ODD and Exchange if necessary.

    Well, today I bought a new wireless router, and I had run the installation wizard. I opened the CD-ROM drive, insert the disc, and then closed and waited. After a few minutes, nothing. I opened and closed several times and still nothing. I put another disc and it does not read or the other.

    Can someone explain why the drive is not working or read all disks? I spent $70 on the router.

    The drive does not has nothing to do with the router. You are able to read one of your usual cd? Have you tried a cd lens cleaner? If it will read something other than the disk, there is a lack of drive (in this case, sigh...) or other Setup has detected and blocked the autorun and the setup.exe for some reason any. This you can check click with the right button on the device and choosing 'Explorer' and not 'open '. If it shows you the files on the disk, right-click on the setup.exe file, click Properties, and make sure that you have permissions to run the program under the Security tab. In addition, the first of the properties tabs will specify if windows has blocked the executable to start and will give you the possibility to activate or enable it via the checkbox.
