Hello,
Everytime I insert an audio CD into my Pismo CD drive, the drive begins to rev really high (sounds like a jet airplane). The drive still seems to work fine and the revving lasts only temporarily, but the noise is surely something wrong and unnatural. Is this spelling the end? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
It depends on the model and make of the drive, as well, apparently, as the cd.
All modern CD drives tend to be noisier, and that whining jet engine sound is quite familar to anyone who works with PC's: all the desktops these days ship with these gawdawful 587x speed drives that sound like the Concorde winding up.
Once the disk is recognized as an audio CD it slows down.
The signs that the drive is going is if this goes on and on, or revs up and down repeatedly before the disk is recognized.
