I've been using the Ripper and Music Converter for only a week or two. Before that, I have never had my drive get stuck in PIO mode using any ripping program.
Now, it has already happened a few times. After ripping a couple CDs in secure mode is when I usually get stuck in PIO mode. I know that scratched CDs causing slow ripping speed can cause this problem. But like I said, it has never happened to me before using this program.
And it is hard to fix. Maybe there is an easier fix out there, if anybody knows a better way...
But for now, I go into the registry and then find and delete some things, then I need to do a reboot.
I simply can't keep doing that every time I rip a couple CDs.
Still, aside from this issue and one other issue (see my "false inaccurate readings" thread), I do really like the program. I will really like it when I can sort these things out. Since I have only been using the program a short time, I do want to give it a chance and try to work around these issues and learn a bit more.
But this whole "getting stuck in PIO" mode thing is the bigger issue. I'm assuming there is a way to fix it or an easier way to switch back to DMA.
Btw, I have 2 Lite-On drives that this has happened to. I just bought a new one because I thought my first drive was the issue, but when it happened to the brand new one after a couple rips, I knew the issue was somewhere else and discovered this whole PIO mode issue.
Also, the drive is on the Primary IDE Channel. Although my device manager says that I have a secondary channel, I think I only have that one hookup on my mobo. I have a SATA hard drive, which is why I have that primary IDE drive open.
Not sure if that stuff has anything to do with this PIO issue, but I figured I would mention it.
Any advice? Thanks.
