windows XP. Dimension Dell c521.   48 x cd-rw/dvd drive.
I could have kept reading and find this type of issue., but no time., so I need your help solving this one. -- I have been burning music into cd's for quite some time now., but now when I burn them everytime the playback is really bad, HISSING and skipping is the result., I am able to listen to music , sound fine. everything else is fine ,but burning results. might think the driver is gone? pls advise. try a DIFFERENT brand of CD's. or burn the CD's in another comp and see if they produce the same result. also, test your burner in another computer and see if it produces the same result as well. this will determine if the CD is to blame or if the CD drive is to blame. if the CD drive is faulty, DVD burners (which also burn CD's) can be purchased for around $30.Thank you Homer, it did work that way  .   it just confused me cause I was using those type of cd's Memorex cd-R  for like TWO weeks.,  So now the ones I just got working are Memorex cd-R but color coded.
