FIX-for choppy/stuttering sounds and video (those w/ TS-L462C Cd rom/burner)
I've had the above problem for several months and the only way it seemed to go away was to disable the cd player. Finally, I think I figured out what was wrong--I had flashed the burner with the latest firmware-ver 07-and I had nothing but stuttering since-I tried all the other recs-reinstall IDE controllers, make sure things are DMA, renistall sound drivers etc, even completely overhauling the OS but no go. So for those in same boat, here's a definite way I fixed it:
either:
1. keep a cd in the drive at all times or
2. upgrade the firmware w/ samsung (which is the maker of the burner) firmware:
dl this: http://www.samsungodd.com/eng/Information/Application/Application.asp (which is the firmware upgrade app)
then this firmware (it's in Korean, just choose the TG00): http://www.samsungodd.com/kor/LiveUpdate/FWDownload/FWDownload.asp?product_code=&language_code=&SearchMode=TOTALSEARCH&SearchWord=TS-L462C&image1.x=33&image1.y=10
then run the app w/ -nocheck option to disable the "not compatible" message and flash away.
When you're done, you should have full functioning cd rom/burner w/o the stuttering/choppiness. If you crossflash, you'll prolly invalidate your cdrom warrenty, but dell 07 firmware breaks your system anyways, so pick your poison...

I ended up with the problem on my Inspiron 6000, and the suggested fix in this thread did indeed correct the problem. I had created numerous red-herrings on my machine as the disk drive had failed approximately a month ago and in the process and restoring the OS, I upgraded all firmware and drivers on the laptop to latest levels. Until reading this thread, I was focusing on the interaction of the new disk drive (Toshiba) with the laptop as it was a completely different drive than the drive originally shipped (Fujitsu).

hope dell fixes their firmware so we don't have to use one from another company.
also, use only the directions i have above...
just tried flashing w/ a rpc1 firmware (removes the regional change limits on the dvd player) and nearly bricked my drive! (btw, i was able to revive it by taking it out of the laptop for awhile and putting it back in)

I am trying to do as you suggest...I downloaded the Windows version of the Software Flash download app...How do I run the program with the -nocheck option so that the app doesn't recognize the CD drive with the DE07 firmware update in the Drive Window? Can you please walk me through how I can do that on an XP machine and give me the correct syntax line I should type in the Run window....or....what other method should I use to flash back to an earlier firmware version. Thanks.

I've tried everything. Un/reinstalling drivers, registry hacks and even a complete overhaul of the Windows installation, no luck. Then I discovered your thread this morning.
I've flashed with the Samsung firmware and my system is finally back to the way I remember it being when it first arrived.
