    Cannot set up accuraterip; discs are ripping with distorted sound

    Hello,
    After many years of using DBPoweramp, I recently upgraded my PC. I am now running a Windows 11 Virtual Machine on my server. I am using the same CD/DVD burner as I used on my old PC. It is connected to a SATA controller that is passed through to the VM, so no virtual drivers are being used for it.
    The drive is identifed in Device Manager as "ATAPI iHAS124 F"

    As mentioned, it has served me well for many years.
    However, I went to rip my first CD on the new PC, and the CD sounds distorted, like it's clipping. A sort of high-pitched scratching sound in time with the music (I don't know how to attach a sample, as I can't upload WAVs).
    This happens when I rip to FLAC or WAV, and if I hit "Play" and listen to the CD in DBPoweramp CD Ripper. However, it does NOT happen if I listen to the CD in Foobar200.

    I then realised that I hadn't set up accurate rip - it was still set to "Burst" mode. So I turned on Secure ripping, but now matter how many CDs I've tried (6 now), I can't get it to detect offset, instead showing the attached error.
    If I don't set up accuraterip, but use "secure" anyway, it always tries to re-rip several thousand frames near the beginning of the first track - even on brand new discs that ripped perfectly using the same drive on my old PC. I haven't bothered letting it finish re-ripping (also see attached).

    Any idea how to go from here?

    The ripping is not working correctly, that is also stopping accuraterip as it needs data off the CD which is not corrupted. It is likely something to do with the Virtual Machine and passthrough.

      Ok, I'll take a look around at possible problems with the VM setup, thanks.
      I do find it strange that the CD can play back fine in another application (Foobar2000), though. That sounds like it's more than just it being a Virtual Machine pass thorugh issue to me - especially as the same 'clipping' happens when I "play" it in DBPoweramp CD Ripper (rather than ripping it).

      Do you know of a meaningful difference between the methods used to play CDs in DBPoweramp CD Ripper and standard CD player apps? I'm happy to troubeshoot, but I'd like to know how DBPoweramp is accessing the CD differently to Foobar2k.
      Thanks.

        Different SCSI commands could be used, if one was not implemented correctly even though is passthrough.
