[playing problems]

I don't want to sound stupid but did you finalize the disk

[Want 8x, always starts at 4x till half]

i Have the same drive external and the same happens to me starts at 4X and gradually goes to 8X at 25% so ithink it is the way the drive work. I am going to try changing the device into internal instead of external but the cover case on mine is broken because i tried to open it before
