CD-RW audio warble/flutter
I opened my case to vacuum up dust, I tried to be vary careful no to directly touch components. I did touch the fan grill and the case itself, the vacuum tube is plastic by the way.
After this my problem occured. When I play CDs in my CD-RW drive I get a constant warble/flutter/breakup sound.
Thinking this was dust on the lens I used a lens cleaing cd to no avail.
I was listening to an mp3 once and used the CD-RW drive to read a data CD causing the mp3 audio to have the same warble.
So it seems simply accessing information on disks on that drive might cause it.
I have a dvd drive and stuff plays fine from that, and mp3s as well
My system specs:
Dimension 8250 Series, Intel Pentium 4
512MB PC1066 RDRAM
WinXP
SoundBlaster Live! with 5.1 Support
48x/24x/48x CD-RW Drive
Predator
2 Intern

Hi StoneMonkey,
Even though you were careful you still may have bumped a cable.
I would suggest you re-seat the IDE cable from the motherboard to the back of each drive, then post back.
Best Regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.

I unseated and re-seated all the IDE cables and made sure they were completely secure. However I still have the same audio distortion.
Please help me out.
