install new DVD drive - now won't recognize CD drive & sound 'wobbly' at times

[WJ]

We replaced our 'dead' DVD drive with a LG internal DVD/CD rewriter. The cd
drive was working before. Now the system won't recognize it. We checked
and it doesn't appear like we disconnected anything. My hubbie didn't
change any of the pre-existing cables. He just hooked up the new DVD to the
old cables.

The other problem is when we are viewing a DVD, at times, the sound goes
'wobbly'. If I pause the movie and then start replaying it, the sound is
okay. It happens intermittently.

Are these two problems related?

We are running Windows XP SP2. The machine is about 2 years old.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like your hubbie may not have set the jumpers on the new DVD drive to
match jumper settings on the old DVD drive..?

May need to update audio & video codecs, your call..
Use the GSpot Codec Information Appliance, see link below.. It is available
at the above divxmovies.com/software link too..

I didn't even realize that there were jumpers. I ended up getting my
teenage son to help. Us 'oldies' couldn't even see the jumpers He said
we had 2 masters. Oops.

The sound problem was also fixed. He hadn't upgrade the wires.

Thanks.
