40x burner but Nero only reads as 12x

[chrmar6]

I have a lite on 40125s that is a 40x12x48 but nero only reads the burner as 12x as the fastest to burn CD's. Why is nero doing this and does anybody know how i can make it so it burns at 40x like it should

Can be two things so i will cover both.

1. Upgrade you version of Nero.
2. Enable DMA on all your drives.

I am running v5.5.90 of Nero and my Lite-ON 24x is detected as it should be, ensure you have this version. I am curious also, is it giving you a "Burnproof" or "Smart Burn" option when you are about to burn?

Yep, sounds like an old version of Nero.

Is it possible that its only 12 speed media? Or you are trying to use CD-RW's? Or like everyone else has said, an old version of Nero.

Liteons have a feature that detects the quality of the media. It is called smartburn. For some reason the burner doesn't like the media for high speed burning. Sometimes nero gets stuck with a low setting if you put in low quality media. To fix it go in to the burner properties and uncheck smartburn. Restart nero and you should be set. Recheck smartburn.
