ok, so I had a dvd drive that broke. So i got a new one. This one, has a humming sound that plays alot louder than the audio on the DVD. The one i had befor was a little staticy, and i could deal with it, BUt this one you can barley hear the dialog. Does anyone have any idea what this might be because of, and or what I need to do to fix it? My computer is about 4 years old now, if that helps any. Thanks for your help.

if it's loud it's because it's not spinning smoothly... the drive might have been installed a little off-center or it might need a little physical adjustment/calibration. but don't do it yourself. get someone who knows hardware to come and tell them "lyk dis shyt don't be good at playing der dvd" and maybe they can help.

oh i thought you meant the drive itself was humming... is it coming from the dvd drive or the speakers?

it couls also be a simpler thing. make sure the drive is screwed with all 4 screws to your computer case. and make sure that they are all screwed tightly. its almost always that when its a new drive. people dont realize how fast those dvd drives spin and how much vibration it causes.

try screwing it to your case as tightly as you can then see if it still loud.
