I've been using this drive for many years and haven't really had any issues with it until now. Historically, I've only ripped and burned music albums, and I always get perfect lossless rips.
I am trying to burn CD-Rs and I am getting incompatibility issues with the disks I make. (Some people online are saying burn at the lowest speed possible, some are saying burn at the highest speed possible...)
I noticed the drive is only burning at 14x no matter what speed I set it to. I confirmed with the official LG documentation (attached) that it is capable of a wide variety of speeds!
I tried to overwrite the speed just to test it and no matter what I set in here, it still says "Supported Write Speeds: 16x"
and then writes at 14x anyway...
I tried looking up these old Sony 97m24s11f CD-Rs and I think they are capable of 48x... but I don't know for sure.
Log attached just in case
I also just checked LGs website and I have the latest firmware already:
