Buffer Underrun While Burning Audio

I have a Lite On 32x burner and am getting buffer underruns only while I burn audio. I can burn data just fine. The drive is running DMA and is not on the same channel as the HD. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Like the man said - use a slower burn speed - or, first copy the audio CD to your HDD temporarily and burn it from there. But - time wise, it would be overall faster to burn at a slower speed. It could relate to the blank CD quality as well.
 
I"m not copying audio CD's, I'm burning them from mp3s. Even if I lower my burn speed to 16x, I still get the buffer underruns. Any ideas?
 
Doesn't a 32x Lite-on burner have buffer underrun protection like Burnproof? What's your system spec and what software and version are you using?
 
Okay, I'm assuming you're making red book audio CDs from mp3s (as opposed to data disks full of mp3s). You will have to expand the mp3s to .wav files before doing the CD layout. If you're already doing that, try different burning software, freeing up computer resources, or upgrading your rig. As it is, it sounds like your SW/HW combo has too much on it's plate to deal. Good luck!
 
I have a xp2100+ on Iwill XP333+ with 512 megs of ram. I'm using nero to burn. For some reason I think I have some sort of HW/software conflict but that I can't say for sure =\
 
Have you updated your ASPI layers (esp for win2k/XP) not that you really need to as from what I remember Nero has it's own set of aspi files. ASPI
Check also what programs are running in the background and close them and see if that will help.
 
Have you tried burning at slower speed, like 4x? If you test burn onto cd-rw you won't create bunch of coasters.
 
As stated above, install and verify appropriate ASPI drivers, make sure SMART-BURN is checked in the write dialog, and it wouldn't hurt to uncompress your MP3s to WAVs and try to burn those instead. It could help narrow down the issue. If above doesn't work, try a very low speed like 4X and see what happens. If it still doesn't work, i'd think it is a bad drive or IDE cable.
 
well i'm tried record now max and i had zero problems w/ burning audio at the highest speed. I have no clue wtf nero's problem is. It shouldn't be w/ APSI layer b/c nero uses its own APSI and not the layer that is used by other windows applications.
