It wouldn't be an issue if the disc is scratched. It would be more of a machine issue. Take in the player(s) and see if the technician can find out if anything is wrong with them, I'm sure he/she will only have to level off the disc player so it will play smoothly.\n\nBest Wishes & Good Luck

yes bestnuy geek squad might be able to fix it, but again on 2nd thoughts but that is my 1st thought that staff at best buy is highly untrained, unhelpful unprofessional\n\nso do it yourself\n\nwith windows XP\n\nclick on START\n         CONTROL PANEL\n         SOUND SPEECH and AUDIO DEVICES\n         SOUND AND AUDIO DEVICES\n         click on HARDWARE TAB\n                   look for your audio controller\n                   click on PROPERTIES\n                   click on DRIVER TAB\n                   and then UPDATE DRIVER\n                   it might ask you for the driver location,\n                   prolly that would be the CD that came\n                   with your computer or your sound card\n                   and follow instructions

Probably an older player.  You might try using a different brand of CD-R.  That worked for me.  Best Buy has some sweet Verbatims that look like vinyl 45's.  Awesome!

If you are hearing any noise as the drive spins then it may be a disk failure.  If there is no noise then there may be hope...check the link below..scroll down to see a list of utilities that may help.  Good luck.

Have you tried running a Cleaning CD through your drive - it looks like an ordinary CD with a spiral of tiny brushes on it, some have music tracks to make it play for a few seconds, if it hasn't simply inserting it a couple of times will do the trick.

It sounds as if there's something wrong with either your CD or the player, I have the CD and although there are parts that are intentionally lower than others, there should be no problem hearing them. If the problem continues, try listening to the CD on another player to determine if the fault is with your system or with the recording.\nIf the system is not the fault then I'd take the CD back to the shop and get a replacement if I were you, it's well worth the extra effort (it's actually my favourite and most played CD).

Are you connected to the internet?\n\nIf yes, try to start Internet Explorer up and turn there the Working Offline mode off.\n\nIf no, connect to the internet :)\n\nIf non of this works, something is wrong with your Windows Media Player, you could try installing it again. You can also get information about CDs by doing a Google search...

Bung one in the drive and see what happens.\n\nIf it doesn't play automatically, go to My Computer and double click on the CD Drive.

Go to your Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel. Check if the right things are selected, on every tab. Same with your media player.

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

put Windows Media Player in the startup list. Alternately, put a music cd in the cd drive before you shut it down, when it boots up again, it should play it automaticaly. dunno about the camera

Try reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.

most likely your cd is bad, give it a good cleaning the try again, then buy a new cd

If the problem happens intermitmently like you described, we can rule out the settings (Here I suppose you know how to check the audio settings of your machine).  If so, it must be the hardware.  Since audio cards are cheap (You can get one for $20 and the sounds are pretty decent), install a new sound card.
