Head Fi,
I have this optical drive in my computer. I have used it to play/rip/burn CDs and DVDs, as well as play games/create ISO images and I have had no problems - until now.
I recently bought a CD from a seller on amazon. I tried to rip it, and EAC gave me a read/sync error. When I played it, the music sounded awful (lots of fuzz/static). I then (forgive me) gave Itunes a try to see if it would work better, and had the same issue. I tried the same CD on my roommates computer, and then my friend's CD player, and it worked perfectly. I then tried a different CD in my computer, and that worked perfectly. My point is, neither the CD nor the optical drive alone cause an issue - the combination of the two do.
I have never seen/heard of anything like this before - what could the issue possibly be?
