• Solution for nasal sound choppy after updating the firmware of the player combo cdrw/dvd TS-L462C

  Hello you all frustrated users Dell! : manhappy:

  Before I post my solution, here's what happened to me...

  Towards the end of November ' 07, I decided to update all my drivers for my Inspiron B130 running Windows XP sp2, including the firmware for the TS-L462C 24 x CD-RW/dvd combo drive.

  In the next few days to update, I noticed that my audio started his jerky / stutter any kind of program that I used to listen to, unless you use the CD player.

  I came to Dell and started browsing these forums for a solution, given that my warranty was expired, and only Dell was to restore the original configuration, that was not a very practical solution with all the unwanted 'important' that I have accumulated in two years.

  I've tried everything by many users with the same annoying problem recommended here (update of Bios, drivers roll back, etc.).

  The only thing that worked was to keep a CD in the drive at all times, which as we know, is not a permanent solution, but is favorite Microsoft term... workaround.

  What I finally discovered that was the update of the firmware Dell 'bad' DE07... why they don't check these things?

  The solution I finally found, after months of this and other forums, research is to restore firmware DE07 DE05.

  That at first, does not seem that easy because the DE05 flashes the firmware from a boot disk and my B130 came with a floppy drive.

  So here's how I did it...

  1. If you haven't already, you will need the DE07 utility that comes with the upgrade.

  Get it here... TS-L462C DE07 firmware

  Follow the instructions to download and unzip, but do not install... we just need the windows Flash utility.

  2. download and unzip the DE05 firmware.

  Get it here... TS-L462C DE05 firmware

  Note the location of this folder, because we need the .bin for sync this folder file.

  Mine unzipped here... C:\dell\drivers\R114334

  3. now open (double click) on the update of the firmware DE07 called SFDNWIN.exe

  and follow the instructions to update...

  a. click on the download file ' open' button to the left.

  b. do not click on the DE07_060525.bin, but instead, navigate to the folder that has the DE05.bin, who, in mine, is located at C:\dell\drivers\R114334, to select. Click on 'open '.

  c. click on the "Start download" button in the middle.

  d. click "Restart Windows".

  e. system will restart after the flash is complete.

  I hope this has been helpful and not too complicated, but it worked wonderfully for me!

  : manvery-happy:

  Good luck

  Ed

• QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242 won't read DVD or BURN a CD (music CD will PLAY) [AFTER the HD FORMAT and re - install}

  Dell Inspiron5100 WinXP SP3.

  Due to malware, I had to FORMAT my HD and re-install Windows XP OEM disc.  I also reinstalled WIN DVD4 from the OEM disc that came with the laptop.

  Check SYSTEM/DeviceMGR/material indicates a problem with the drive, but: it won't READ a DVD or burn a CD (which she has done before)

  Can't update anything of QSI as they were absorbed by COREL years.  No support available for WINDVD4

  When you try to run WINDVD4 with a DVD in the drive, I get a Popup of WINDVD screen that says:

  CREATE OVERLAY FAILED-Please lower your color depth or screen resolution and try again.  Of course, it worked fine with the reg settings in the past, now Ive tried even lower TWO the RES SCREEN and color at least registered but still does not work

  It WILL play CDs of music (mp3s)

  Found the following material etc.

  Response

  Hello

  1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

  After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

  I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

  on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

  2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

  Not nothing... He's here

  3. How do you try to burn CDs?

  MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

  4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

  I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

  Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

  I did the entire bottom.

  1. click on Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

  2 click on the hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  3 right-click on the CD-RW/DVD drive, and then select set to update driver.

  He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

  "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

  4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

  There is no "graphics card" on the material.  This machine has integrated graphics using a part of the main memory (or other) to run the video section:

  I find:

  AUDIO, VIDEO and GAME controllers (announcement)

  Audio codecs

  Audio drivers

  Legacy video capture device

  Media control devices

  Audio Sigma

  Video codecs

  All this seem normal but above I see YELLOW TWO warnings under 'OTHER DEVICES '.

  ?!  Ethernet controller "drivers for this divide (code28) is not installed.

  ?! VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA Compatible) I didn't HAVE NO IDEA if THIS if APPLIES OR NOT

  Device type - other devices

  MFG-unknown

  Location PCI bus, device 0, function 0.  "Drivers for this device are not installed, CODE28 to reinstall the driver."

  Has been through the usual (request for drive... Laughing out loud. Impossible to beat")

  How to troubleshoot common problems that occur when a Windows XP-based computer cannot read a CD or DVD

  Did yesterday.  It installed/ran "MR. Microsoft Fixit' with the result:

  "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

  UNKNOWN

  Title 1

  Title2

  Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

  He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

  Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

  So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

  I see many people on other sites of the same question: Player does not work after FORMAT operating system and reinstall of WIN (and in my case: WinXP SP3 and WIN DVD4 of OEM disc)

  Thanks a lot for your help so far... I hope that we can get to the next step and get the reader of CD-RW/DVD on 'PLAY '.

  Thanks its working now!

  But I still have problems with DVD playback... I am out of the dvd decoder and can not find the download for just a dvd decoder. I downloaded a few media players but all still not allow me to read the actual DVD disc. I've already spent too much money on this computer and I really can't afford to buy any additional software. Is it possible for me to find the decoder correct drivers/dvd for free?

• HP DVD Writer does not read or write DVD, but only the CD

  My HP DVD 1135t burner does not read or write DVD but only the CD. What is the problem? Please help me.

  CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.

• Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

  MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

  When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

  When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

  I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

  So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

  * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

  * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

  * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

  Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!
