I haven't been able to get dbpoweramp to work with my Toshiba HD-DVD-Rom H802A drive. I suspect it is because this drive has an 8MB cache. I've upped the cache limit to 8MB in the drive settings section, but I'm still unable to accurately rip a whole CD. Has anyone been able to use this drive with dbpoweramp?

No CD drive has an audio cache above 1MB -

The specs for this drive are:
Product Features
Toshiba SD-H802A 2.4X HD DVD-ROM IDE Drive General Features: Black bezel IDE interface
8 MB buffer 2.4X HD DVD-ROM Single and Dual Layer 5X DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW Read
5X DVD-ROM Dual and Single Layer Read 15X CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW Read
Random Access/Seek Time (Average): Access: HD DVD-ROM 155 ms Access: DVD-ROM 140 ms
Access: CD-ROM 130 ms
Where it says it has an 8MB buffer. (It is an HD-DVD-ROM drive.) I have it in an external USB enclosure, plugged it into my Linux box, ran cdparanoia -A (the analysis mode) and it 'counted' up the cached sectors until the program failed and said it wasn't compatible with cdparanoia.
So are you saying it can't or won't use the whole 8MB buffer for caching audio?Comment

8MB cache is not all used for audio.Comment

OK.
Would you have any idea as to how to make this drive work with dbpoweramp? I've never had a drive not work with dbpoweramp or cdparanoia. Is manually cranking up the cache to 8MB useful in this situation?Comment

There is another issue, on a disc with no issues there are no re-reads, so the buffer size is not important.Comment

The funny thing is CDex, fre:ac, nero and other programs that just 'read' a CD, seem to work just fine with this drive. Maybe it has some sort of oddball, completely different cache strategy that is tripping up dbpoweramp and cdparanoia??Comment

The disc is pristine, it reads fine from other programs, Accurate rip only verifies about half of the tracks....and as mentioned before, cdparanoia says it work work with the drive.Comment

CD ex does not verify with accuraterip so you would not know anything is wrong.Comment

Re: Has anyone successfully used a toshiba H802A with dbpoweramp?
Yep...about CDex.
Correction: It was EAC that rips fast but only a few tracks come out accurate. dbpoweramp, in ultra secure mode, makes 2 passes and 3 ultra secure ones and then wants to reread all frames of the track.
I've tried two of these drives with the same results.
Anyone else try this drive for DAE??
Maybe I'll just give up on it... :(Comment

Hi Spoon,
I have one other question related to this. Is there anyway the Accurate Rip offset values could be off for this drive? Is there any way I can double check this number?Comment

>Is there anyway the Accurate Rip offset values could be off for this drive?
Would not effect dBpoweramp as it can check cross pressings (ie if the offset was off +100 it would just think the disc had a pressing offset of + 100 and still verify).Comment

Thanks for the information. I'm going to not use this drive for ripping CDs.Comment
