drive cache detection after 25h2

[Hitarth]

hello everyone
trust all are doing well

i just did an clean install of the Windows 25h2 on my acer nitro5 ( 2 x m.2 7450 mbps / 64bg RAM )
on starting the version already with me, i was asked to update to dBpower 2025-7-21 (64bit), which i did.

the drive i use is the Apple Super Drive, which shows up as the LG HL-DT-ST - DVDRW - GX50 (please see botton left of he screenshot ) i have used this drive to rip many .. many CDs and have achieved some super rips

on inserting a CD to configure the drive, i get the attached message when configuring the drive cache.

the Cd : Roxy Music "Avalon" is in immaculate condition.

please could any one assist as to why is this happening

so i uninstalled dBpower (with RevoUninstaller)
cleaned regedit for illustrate / spoon / dBpower & re installed 2024-11-04

Inconsistent offsets means just that, the offset of the drive is changing between tracks, it should not do this.

The next step would be to get a different CD drive.

good day to you Sir,
after the clean uninstall & re install of 2024-11-04, the same drive testeded, in like almost immediately ( as it normally does ) & so did the 2nd menu, mentioning the drive cache is to be set to "0" ( (zero) but i keep it to 1024, recomended by one of your manuals )

If you have an older DVD drive, it might read audio cds better.
