News of CD-R/CD-RW Drives

The drive is (OEM) HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8483B (looks like LG or Hitachi make). It came with my new PC Dell Dimension 4600.
In general, the drive works well. However, both the Roxio EZCD 5.3.5.10 (latest) and Nero 6.0.0.23 (latest) show the only available write speed of 48x. This is unsatisfactory not only for audio CDRs but also for full data ones. More over, the drive does not have any write speed control.

:evil: I hate this stinking old burner!
I have a massive problem. I've stuffed up the firmware on my old cdd4201 philips burner using the proper philips flashtool utility.

Hey Guys.....

I have an infiniti G35 witht he WORST SOUND SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. Got a Plextor Premium drive and no matter what media I used (inlcuding the TY 48x media - the bst so far), I get severe static, popping sounds that overpower the music itself. Checked with PlexTools, very low errors, incl. Jitter and beta.

ANysuggestions. Maybe I need something with a darker dye.

I've tried a few cd ripping appz and when I play the mp3 all you hear is click-click-click. If I want to play that audio cd in the CDrom everything is ok. I use an old TEAC cd-540e on win XP with SP1.

Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?
