I am attempting to let it complete but it is taking a long time & keeps repeating the error with each new sectors. I doubt the resulting Audio CD will be a good one. That is why I'm testing with an CD RW. I'm using an EAC created .cue file. I have also tested the same .cue file to the same CD RW from an internal drive with no errors. So the problem seems to be caused by using a USB.enclosure.

cholla Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 I know I'm using a low quality blank. However as above my internal drive wrote to it fine. The exact same blank.I just erased it. I've done this a couple of times back & forth. I've also used "Test Mode" I"m certain I have a better quality CD RW around & I will look for them but I expect the same result.
cholla Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 I don't have any Verbatim CD RWs. Any of these look any better ?

My suspicion is the chipset in the enclosure with the Samsung DVD drive. I also have a Vantec Nexstar enclosure with a bluray drive in it that doesn't get the error. The log attached is using the exact same low quality CD RW in the NexStar.ImgBurn.logImgBurn.log
dbminter Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Well, if you get errors on one drive with a CD-RW that you don't get with the same CD-RW in another drive, the problem is the drive. Could be something as simple as that drive doesn't like that particular manufacturer of disc. Or something more complicated and more difficult to troubleshoot. Of those media in that last post, the only one I recognize at all is the Mitsubishi one, which is the best CD-R out there. They make Verbatim's quality DataLife Plus/AZO CD-R and not the cheap CMC from Verbatim's Life Series. Since I don't recognize any of the other media manufacturers, I would be wary to call them quality.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Whatever the reason for the error, the error itself appears to be getting lost... or there wasn't really an error in the first place. Do you have the same issue if you use SPTI rather than ElbyCDIO? Don't use the enclosure if it doesn't work correctly with optical drives.

I tested using SPTI & the results are the same. 7 hours ago, LIGHTNING UK! said: Don't use the enclosure if it doesn't work correctly with optical drives. I'm posting a couple of ImgBurn logs. These were done with the same drive in the enclosure. One is a Build to a DVD from a movie folder. One is a Read from the Audio CD. Both of these worked. So the enclosure does work with optical drives. It just won't write an Audio CD . This enclosure is for IDE optical drives as most in computers are SATA now . This can be convenient to use with those computers. I do have a tower computer with the IDE drives I want in it. I would try this drive in it but it is a PITA to swap a drive in it. I have another older computer mothballed & it is easier to change an optical drive in. I may dig it out & try it with this drive next week sometime. I believe the problem is with the enclosure. It is a SYBA & they say it has a Prolific chipset. I will see if I van find some further information from them. ImgBurnDVD.log ImgBurnbin.log
cholla Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Sorry double post Edited September 30, 2018 by cholla double post
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Writing to a CD starts from a negative LBA though. Maybe that's what it has an issue with? It's the only time such a thing happens.
cholla Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I temporarily installed the optical drive from the enclosure in my old mothballed computer as an internal drive. I then used the exact same CD RW disc . Then I wrote the Audio CD from the same EAC .cue. All went well . The problem has to be the chipset in the enclosure. The ImgBurn log below is the one for the write in the old computer. ImgBurn.log Edited October 1, 2018 by cholla
dbminter Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if it's the chipset or bridge in the enclosure. I've been having my own issues with Vantec enclosures on my Pioneer BD-209M. I keep getting failed BD-R burns and dropping communication with the device. But, my Other World Computing enclosure doesn't have these issues. Just its own.
cholla Posted October 3, 2018 Author Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I did contact SYBA but so far no useful information from them. Just no new firmware for this enclosure & actually not any available even old. They don't know why it won't write an Audio CD. However they don't even know if it was/is supposed to have this capability. @ dbminter I also have a Vantec it has a LG WH16NS40 that has been rolled back to firmware v 1.02 . I haven't tried any BD burns in it so I can say how well it works for this. As above it worked fine for an Audio CD burn. I don't have an OWC but I have looked at some of them. Just a couple of things more I've done with the SYBA enclosure. ImgBurn can erase a CD RW in the SYBA enclosure. ImgBurn can write a Data CD with music to a CD RW & probably a CD R(I didn't test the later). To me this means the CD laser is working in the drive in the SYBA enclosure. So to me the problem has to be in the Prolific chipset & where it is instructing the optical drive to start the Write to an Audio CD on the CD RW disc. ImgBurn knows that would be the wrong location so it gives the error. Edited October 3, 2018 by cholla
dbminter Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I'm curious as to why you rolled back the firmware of the LG drive to 1.02 over 1.03. I didn't find anything wrong with 1.03, since all 1.03 did was introduce anti-copying measures for 4K video. It did nothing to fix the many fatal flaws in that drive, of which there are, well, many. I like the NS60 model. I use it now over my Pioneer 2209 in the OWC enclosure versus the Vantec which is giving me many problems on my 2209. The NS40 has fatal flaws writing to BD-R/RE DL media.
cholla Posted October 3, 2018 Author Posted October 3, 2018 Also recognizing UHD 4K blu ray discs. With the V 1.03 my computer wouldn't open this type disc in the LG WH16NS40. (SVC Code NS50). The (SVC Code NS40) can't be rolled back or flashed with older versions. This usually bricks the drive from what I've read. I have also read that some were able to flash a (SVC Code NS40) back to V.1.03. It hasn't worked for everyone though. I checked with Vantec & the chipset my enclosure has is the Asmedia ASM1153E . Thought I would put that in. It might be useful to someone.
