I've always said, if you want to know something about a computer you should go to a boating & fishing message board, RIGHT?....makes perfect sense to me.
Anyway, I bought myself a new computer a couple of weeks ago and everything is working fine except one thing. When I play a CD using Windows Media Player (version 10) it sounds like I'm driving down a rough road. The sound quality is good except it's very choppy, for lack of a better description. The guy who built the computer told me that Windows Media Player 10 won't play CD's and that I should use the add-on CD player that he installed. He said that WMP is trying to convert the analog CD into a digital signal. HUH? A CD is a digital signal, isn't it? I would really like to use WMP to play CD's instead of the other CD player. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the CD drive since it plays fine with the other CD software. I'm also sure that Bill Gates is too smart to sell something that won't even play a CD. I thing there is just something wrong in the configuration, but I can not figure out what it is. Any ideas, you guys???
HEEEELP!!!!
