I recently switched from my Medion stock keyboard to an IBM Enhanced Performance Keyboard. Ever since this change, pressing the play/pause button does what it's supposed to do (play/pause Spotify), but also causes the following prompt to appear:

There is no CD in the drive. Please insert an audio CD, VCD or DVD and try again.
Click to expand...

This was not an issue with my old keyboard. What can I do to stop this?

Try the most recent drivers you can find via LG's website.

Even if not direct model to driver match.

And "google" elsewhere on the web.

You may find an older, but applicable, LG driver. However, as I previously posted, be careful about the source.

Unfortunately, many manufacturer's are able to drive sales of newer products by simply dropping support of older products....

Even if that older product is still physically capable of working via the applicable software/drivers.

May take some digging around but my thought is that your system believes the CD player is a default device when the play/pause button is pressed.

Windows 10?

Overall likely just a matter of some configuration setting.

Use "WIN" + "I" to gain access to Gaming Devices. Look there.

Or look in "WIN" + "I" >Devices > Autoplay.

Default Apps may come into play - check there as well.

Ease of Access should be checked: Has both audio (device related) and Keyboard settings.

You should also access the software necessary to program the IBM keyboard's keys/key presses; i.e., play/pause.

No need to immediately change anything. Just look and explore. Keep notes. If you find some configurable setting, try a change. Just change only one thing at a time and keep track of the original setting and what you changed the setting to.

May need to "undo" something.....

I've looked around, but have been unable to stop the problem. IBM's software doesn't allow for config of the media keys.

An interesting tidbit is that somewhere in the past couple of weeks (I'm assuming about 3 weeks ago when I moved house), the SATA data cable of the DVD drive disconnected itself from the motherboard. I found this out when discs wouldn't play anymore. I plugged it back into the motherboard and since then these prompts have started.

Could it be related to that?

Perhaps:

The unplug may have caused some corruption issue and/or a revert back to an older version.

Double check that both cables (data and power) are fully and firmly in place - on both ends.

Then, if necessary, try reinstalling the applicable and current drivers for your DVD drive: make, model, and matching OS version.

Go to the applicable manufacturer's website to download the drivers.

Be wary of other sites offering the drivers. Who knows what else may also be installed.

The cables appear to be properly in place. The DVD drive itself (LG GH24NSD1) has no drivers listed on the LG website. As such, I'm using the generic Windows drivers.
