my DVD CD play will not play disc on a Toshiba Satelite P55-A5200 what do I do

[Shelster]

I have a Toshiba Satellite P55-A5200 laptop with a CD/DVD player. I insert the CD/DVD, I can hear it starting up and making noise, but then nothing happens. What do I need to do to play these disks?

For any disk format, use MPC-HC (https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/), it's a minimal UI, but plays practically everything and anything (other than bluray)
