Do i need software for a bluray drive to work?

[hobib_ali]

Ive bought a sumsung blu ray drive

Do i need software for a bluray drive to work, or is it plug n play?

fully installed it works, cd games install, dvd movies work and disc software no issues.

But as soon as I insert a blu ray disc it does not work, it makes a buzz noise like its trying to read..

Im thinking does it need software to work a blu ray disc or is the drive faulty?

anyone else got a bluray drive?

Unfortunately windows put's blu-ray film playback behind a paywall

The only reliable option that is free that i have come across is an app called Leawo

oh ok, so is that why my bluray discs does not work in my bluray drive?

I need software that probably needs paid for, somthing to do with licensing?,

I always use K-Lite Codec Pack which is free.

just installed klite but something is wrong, its not even reading the files, let alone play them, im getting a sound like the players trying to read but cant, its a buzzing sound and then stops, strange though coz non blu ray discs work...
