LITEON DVD Drive playback problems

[Matt-man]

I have a new machine and have one drive a LITEON 16xRW, it is linked via IDE (No Audio Cable was told not necessary if running XP) however i am having many problems with playback on the device.

It is linked as a slave drive on IDE 1 of the motherboard HD being the master, when playing DVD's (Power DVD 5.0) it sticks and freezes with the sound all breaking up.

If i insert an audio CD and open media player the system freezes and won't play until i eject the CD.

If anyone has any ideas on how to rectify these problems it would be appreciated.

check that you have the drive running in dma mode

I have the drive running in ultra fast DMA mode i had to chang to this as it wasn't picking up certain discs when they were inserted in the drive, however the playback issue has remained the same.
