Stopped reading audio CD's

Here is an odd one. My drive stopped reading audio CD's. BUT if I
reinstll the driver, it will read the first audio CD no problem, but
subsequant ones, no way. IT should be noted data CD's are read no
problem, regardless.

I have a Compaq PResario 3360US laptop.
My CD ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N . There is no recent driver
(I've checked LG's website). But truthfully I don't think that would
be the issue since it's worked fine for years until now.

So, any idea's?
