1. Please use proper capitalization and punctuation.
2. Check the manufacturer's site for updated drivers.

I had the same problem and the recommended fix was to replace my burner.
This has happened once before, my burner went out and reaked havic on mile
files and certain applications. I haven't replaced my burner yet but I'll
let you know if that's the fix.

As the first respondant said:

If the sound card/chip is on the motherboard and it's not
recognized directly by the O/S you installed, you need to
get the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's
website, assuming you don't have the CD that should have
come with the motherboard.

To check: Open Control Panel, go to System and then find
Device Manager. Look for an item under Other Devices named
something like Multimedia Device with a question mark or
exclamation point icon. That indicates a device was found
but no drivers were available. If located, right-click on
the icon and select Update Driver.
