Potential Problem with OS X El Capitan and dbPoweramp for Mac CD Ripper

[mwheelerk]

I upgraded my Mac OS to El Capitan yesterday. Today I ripped 4 CDs just as I have done since I purchased the product. The problem is that non of the rips were Accuraterip. All used Secure and UltraSecure mode. All of the CDs are in perfect condition. I tried using XLD on one and it gave an Accuraterip result. I then went to Preferences and although the Accuraterip box is checked next to it it says "Accuraterip is unconfigured".

What do I need to do correct this problem?

Thanks for any help.

What cd drive do you have? What exact name is shown for it in dbpoweramp?

I have and have been using with success The Apple Drive and got Accuraterip results.

In the CD Ripper window under Drive > "disk4 [Apple SuperDrive]"

Here is another screen shot with preferences and the CD Ripper tool with a CD inserted. You can see again that it says "Accuraterip is not configured" and just below that is the "Configure Now" selection. However in trying to select that nothing happens.

Thanks for the bug report.

Looks like Apple changed how the drive names are shown to us, so everything that relies on drive names - AccurateRip in particular - is broken.

It is being investigated.

We still cannot auto detect drive offset on the new OSX, unfortunately.

I just tried it and Accuraterip seems to be back. Regarding the drive offset could you explain the meaning of that? Is there something I should be doing within dbpoweramp Preferences or settings for my drive?

Does that mean I should manually input the offset for my Apple Super Drive?

For 99% of people, there is no need to change the drive offset.

I found the cause for this, and also a fix that usually works, or at least worked for me.

This is a bug that seems to have coincided with El Capitan's introduction of the System Integrity Protection feature.

Apple SuperDrives, and possibly other USB attached optical drives, will fail to be recognized properly if attached to the system post-boot. They will register as "Apple" "SuperDrive" and under "SupportLevel" they'll display "Unsupported".

Rebooting the machine with the drive still attached should render its exact model name visible, but probably won't fix the "Unsupported" status, even if the drive does happen to work with whatever software you throw at it.

In my case, it's an "HL-DT-ST" "DVDRW GX50N", revision "RR06". My dad's SuperDrive is the exact same optical drive model.

In my case the CD ripper failed to work at all under El Capitan. I found that the SIP prevented certain types of files and system files being written correctly

To overcome the problem I have disabled SIP and now all functions correctly.

SIP can be disabled by booting into recovery mode, selecting the Utilities tab and opening a terminal window. Type csrutil disable at the command prom and press return.

Alternatively typing csrutil enable --without fs will allow file permissions to be altered as required
