Computer not reading audio cds?

[WWP]

My computer will read dvds, burn dvds, burn audio cds ... but it wont read an audio cd, store bought or burnt. Its a fairly new computer(bought last year). Any ideas im completly lost

It sounds like the laser reader for that particular type of disc is broken - any ideas when this happened?

My first instinct would be to try reinstalling the drivers. Next I'd probably do a format and reinstallion of windows (but then I'm a sucker for punishment). Finally, if it were still in warranty, I'd send it back for repair (as by this stage hardware is the most likely culprit).
