I have an external FireWire Yamaha 16X burner for a Toshiba Satellite Laptop connected via Western Digital's firewire adapter and have trouble burning audio CDs at any speed above 2x. Additionally, the CDs make crack and snap sounds.
The Toshiba Satellite Laptop is running under Windows 98SE, has 128 mb of ram and a PIII 700. I use Adaptec's Easy CD Creator version 4.0 with latest patch to 4.05.
Basically, here's what happens when I try to burn an audio CD. I load the source CD on the Toshiba's internal DVD-ROM player and destination CDR on the FireWire drive. I try to select a speed higher than 2X in Easy CD Creator but it always defaults back to 2X when the session begins. The FireWire Yamaha burner is a 16X device but I'm not sure about the internal DVD-ROM that came with the Satellite Laptop. Surely it can handle a audio CD burn session higher than 2X and not make crackling popping sounds right?
Please help!
