so i just built a new pc and now when i burn an audio cd and try to play it in my car or home stereo they just won't recognize most of the time. most of the time it will say disc read error and spit the disc out after about 20 trys it will finally read the cd-r and play the first couple tracks and then spit the disc out with an error. i thought it might have been the new ASUS sata drive i installed so i took the old Optiarc sata burner i had in my old pc and installed it and the exact same things happen. all firmware and drivers are up to date.

everything worked fine with the old pc which is kinda strange. i even used the exact same blank CD-Rs. i reinstalled both drives in my old pc and they both burn and play fine in all CD players. any ideas????

Intel 4770k
ASUS Maximus Hero IV Z87
Samsung 840 PRO 256GB SSD
WD Black 1TB HDD
ASUS GTX 780Ti
Optiarc AD-7260S DVD=RW

Things I tried for getting this issue resolved for me:
* I tried with Nero 10 and power DVD, and XP... same result.
* I tried on two different laptops, I tried with external USB Optical drive but all gives the same result ....rather one of this DVD damaged my Optical drive head....
* I tried reading these discs in different computers only one of them was able to see the data written but that too is not readable.
*It always successful write but when you open it says empty disc ...except in Linux OS.
***And I observed one strange thing if you write over them again it will rewrite on the dvd and say successfully written. :) !
* I tried using 4x, 6x and 8x ....same result
* I tried firmware update from Transcend online support, same...

Ok I see that it cant be the CDs, as you used them in the old computer and they worked. So I edited out that :) But it could be that you are not closing the CD. I have not used a cd/dvd burning software for 8-10 years. But I remember that you had to close the disk. Else they would only work in other computers.. sometimes not even then. So check in your software if you can select. Close the cd when burning is done.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit (OS installed on SSD, all media files are on external HDDs) and I used Ashampoo on the old PC and the new PC. i also tried ImgBurn and BurnAware and still does the exact same thing. i also tried all 3 programs on the old pc and they all work 100% fine (using alot of blank CD's just to test today lol but it's worth it I use Audio CDs ALOT and it is frustrating.)

also i always burn the cds in disc-at-once which closes them correct?

EDIT: another thing is i tried 8x and 48x burn speeds and still the same results. in old pc=fine... new pc=errors

no FSB overclocking if that's what you mean. its at 100mhz and cpu multiplier is 40x.

another interesting note since my last post my hard drive in my old pc gave me the "click of death" so i got another HDD, reinstalled windows 7 and all my programs, drivers, etc and now its doing the exact same disc read errors with the audio cds just like my new pc! won't read in most of my players and it 100% worked before that. very strange things here

* I tried reinstalling after removing drivers, registry etc... same result.
* Technically this issue has no relations to finalizing disk and finallizing doesnt make any difference :) !

Solution: I found, when I went to return the remaining dvds to the shopkeeper he refused to do so and said me you can try audio and video may be it will work.. And this gave me the clue (actually he was already aware). I purchased maxell DVD-R and when I carefully observed they has note of caution of damaging writer and non supporting all ROMS.
And when I carefully examined the DVD I found DVD-R (maxell) have one circular white line in all of the dvds even they are blank. I went and buy DVD+R , which has total different color texture and density appearance. <b><i>And when I write a DATA DVD on DVD+R I can able to see the data on laptops etc..</i></b> .

While the DVD-R I found supports DVD players and Audio players and if you want to see data written in it (-R); install supporting auto audio-video reader support for your Optical writer ( this I found on some thread where people were facing reverse issue i.e. unable to see videos and audios after successful writing disks and they are using (dvd+R).

( I read on UDP 2.0, 2.5 formats etc dont want to go in detail on that bec they are not causing any problem )

My conclusion was :
USE dvd+R for Data
USE dvd-R for Video and Audio
( I havent checked for other RW options

Please note this is just my observation and solution I could able to see and I hope it should help.....
Thanks.
