I am currently having a problem with my CD-ROM skipping while playing CD audio in Media Center 9. My setup is as follows:

If I play CD in CD-RW they play just fine, however if I move them over to my CD-ROM they start skipping right from the go. I've tried to switch to analog mode without any luck. I also tried a host of different settings in MC9 all with the same results.
I even replaced the CD-ROM with a new model and I'm getting the same results. At this point I'm trying to narrow down where the problem may be. Could it be the sound card?
