Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / April 2006CD-R discs & car audio
Has anyone else come across this problem? I can record audio tracks onto CD-R discs on the NEC drive in my Fujitsu Siemens laptop at any speed & they will play on my car audio (1999 Volvo) without a problem. Howerver discs recorded on my Dell desktop computer with an LG drive will not play at all in the car even if they have been recorded at 1x speed. I am of course using the same brand of disc in both computers. Try using TDK CD-Rs and see if the problem goes away, http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia I recently had one heck of a time trying to get WMAs playing in my car deck. Turns out that my file conversion software was converting to WMA9, and my car deck only supports up to WMA8! It was a simple matter of downloading and installing the correct codec, and then selecting that codec at conversion time. Newer computers may default to newer codecs and recording standards which are NOT supported by older car decks. Hell, my car deck is spanking new, and has a date of manufature on it of August 2005, and I still had problems! Are you using the same Burning Software in both computers??? What file format are you using? WAV, WMA, MP3??? And yes, TDK CD-Rs are excellent! >Has anyone else come across this problem? >I can record audio tracks onto CD-R discs on the NEC drive in my [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >speed. >I am of course using the same brand of disc in both computers. > What file format are you using?

He already said, he's recording regular CD audio. >>Has anyone else come across this problem? >>I can record audio tracks onto CD-R discs on the NEC drive in my [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >>speed. >>I am of course using the same brand of disc in both computers. --- avast!

Are you using disc-at-once or track-at-once recording? Multi-session or no? Closing the session/track/disc at completion? Using the same burner software on both machines? Preferable options are probably disc-at-once burn, no multisession, and close the disc when done. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

I am using TDK discs in both machines. I am using disc at once, not multisession & am closing the disc at completion. > > Has anyone else come across this problem? > > I can record audio tracks onto CD-R discs on the NEC drive in my [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > avast! - copyright (c) 1988-2005 ALWIL Software. > http://www.avast.com Check the firmware revision of firmware in your LG drive. Then go to the LG web site and check for the latest revision of firmware. WARNING: Flashing firmware in a CD drive is a dangerous thing. I strongy recommend that you read ALL instructions provided. Additionally, I have found that you need to set the CD drive to be the "Master" on the Primary IDE controller of the motherboard. ALSO - and THIS IS IMPORTANT - disconnect ALL hard drives from the IDE controllers while you are doing this! I had one flash attempt trash the partition on my hard drive and also simultaneously trash the flash eeprom in the CD drive! Fotunately, I had the pimary partition recently Ghosted and hidden, so I was back up in 10 minutes. But I still had to get a new CD drive. I have had problems like this in the past where drives are shipped with firmware that they know darn well had "issues". HP did it years go, so I am sure that lots of them do it. They figure that since you can download and flash later, that this is OK. Well, it is OK if you know what you are doing. If you are like most users, you will have to pay a technician to do it. Just a thought. For WinXP: Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". Click on "Device Manager" Expand "DVD/CD-ROM Drives", click on the drive in question, and open the properties. Click on the "Details" tab. You will see a string something like: IDE\CDROMHL-DT-ST-CDRW-GCE-8525B________1.05________ The "1.05" in this example is the firmware revision currently installed in the drive. Now go here: http://ca.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp click on "Product Support" click on the link just under "device driver" for "Product" select "CD-ROM(Writer) select your operating system, and click search You will get a list of firmware available like this: Subject Operating System File Name Size New firmware (ver. 1.04) for only GCE-8527B(52X CD-RW Drive) Windows 2000 Windows 98 Windows XP Windows ME GCE-8527B104(EW).zip 298K the list is real disorganized, so you might have to page through it to find your model. When you do, download the latest firmware and read all instructions carefully. Hope that helps. >I'm using the exact same version of Nero on both computers. >I am using TDK discs in both machines.

I hate it when things like this happen. You pull your hair out over someone elses errors and don't even know it. Glad it worked out for you! :) >Thanks Newman, that worked a treat! > [quoted text clipped - 96 lines] >> >> avast! - copyright (c) 1988-2005 ALWIL Software. >> >> http://www.avast.com |
