Default Audio Question

I have the stock 12 disc CD changer in the trunk. Lately, just about every CD I put in the magazine sounds scratchy when I play it.

It doesnt matter what position I place the Disc in. Some discs do it and some discs dont but the majority sound scratchy.

The FM is okay so I ruled out a bad speaker.

I have tried different CD media that plays on other CD's W/O any problems and it doesnt help.

I asked my local audio guru and was told that they either play or they dont. He said the newer models sample more and that might make the difference.

Are there any tips or tricks I could use to troubleshoot further?

If I have to buy a new CD changer are they all compatible with the Bose system?

Thanks for the help,
Mike

I had issues similar to this, but it was always with burned CD's. Confused me because they play fine in the head unit, but sound like hell from the changer. However, if i used a storebought CD in the changer, it sounded fine.

If you're using burned CD's, then this is a known issue and there have been other threads regarding this, and different ways to burn to help alleviate it.
