PS2 Audio???

When I play an audio CD in my Sony PS2 it skips, it happens about every 30 seconds or so, just when you think it's done it happens again. It doesn't matter it it's a brand new CD or an old burned one. The audio never skips while playing a game or movie... What gives?

Do you run your PS2 vertical? I have seen that cause some misalignment problems in a few PS2's with the motor and lens mechanism.

Sounds like your laser needs to get adjusted. I had to adjust mine several times so its nothing unusual

No I don't run it vertical, I was always worried my disc's would drop out and get scratched when I open it.

Grease Monkey: How do you adjust the laser, that sounds tricky?
Thanks guys

That's interesting, I didn't even realize you could do that with them. Don't tell my kid or he will think he needs it in his room so he can watch movies and listen to music in his room.

I always play mine throught the stereo system anyways. Sounds so much better.

The right channel was bad in the audio system, and sony told us it wasn't their problem.

Does it still play the games ok??? And movies??? My first PS2 was about a year and a half old and it quit playing audio cd's. About a month or so later I was playing a game, and it froze and said "Disc Read Error." It did this over and over again. I tore it apart(warranty was out), cleaned it and tried to adjust the laser...didn't help. Contacted Sony, and they said some of their lasers then were a little weak and to send it in. Well, I couldn't wait for two or three weeks and had to go to Best Buy and get a new one.

Yes, just like I said in my opening post, I have no problems with games or movies. It only skips on cd's, no matter what their condition.
