Cannot Burn Audio CD

Write speeds are different on CD and DVD. The circuitry in the unit may not be allowing the proper speed for CD burning.

Have you checked/updated your SATA drivers?

Sounds like a defective drive to me: I had a similar problem like this. Turned out to be a bad DVD-RW/CD-RW drive. These drives have 2 lasers in them to do the work and if one is not working correctly you will have this issue. I would change the drive that should fix it. -WS

This was the solution. Installed my new drive today and everything works as it should. I think this is the first time I have had a single computer long enough for a drive to fail, and I didn't even think that one laser could fail and not the other.

Thanks for the advice.
