Hi Jones,

Based on how you describe the issue with your optical drive not reading compact discs, one of the possible reasons is due to a malfunctioning hardware. To better assist you with your concern, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Does the issue happens on a specific CD?
• Have you tried playing that disc on a different optical drive (CD-ROM)?
• Did you make any changes on your computer prior to this issue?

In the meantime, we suggest updating your drivers by following the steps in this

article. This is to ensure that your machine is running the latest drivers, including your optical drive.

We are looking forward to your response.
