Question re dBpoweramp setup

[Hagen]

Hello,
I am new to dBpoweramp and am hoping it to be easier to use and more comfortable than EAC which I used a long time ago.
I am running it on a Lenovo X1 (5 Gen., ca. 4 years old) with an Asus SBW-06D5H-U drive I bought recently and connected via USB-C.
I set up the software exactly as suggested in the Setup Guide and went through all steps set forth there.
My first rip with a new CD was quite a failure, showing the rip not to be accurate:

Information ripping to FLAC, 'Track 1' to 'C:\Users\bvander\Music\Ava Max\Heaven & Hell\01 Ava Max - Heaven.flac'
** Aborted: Have to ReRip 611 Frames, Re-Rip Limit Set to 100 Frames

and so on for every track on the CD.

I then disabled ultra secure and set the secure rip abort to no abort and tried another CD. Now the rip takes some time reripping the frames and still shows errors:

Information ripping to FLAC, 'Track 1' to 'C:\Users\bvander\Music\Various Artists\Bravo Hits Vol. 110, Disc 1\01 Robin Schulz & Wes - Alane.flac'

Is there a problem with the drive or have I made some other mistake? I would really appreciate your help.

Kind regards

Are you getting this on several different CDs.

Re: Question re dBpoweramp setup

If you have been using the same drive for EAC successfully, then I would say it is likely to be a scratched or damaged CD, as that is too many frames to attempt to re-rip under normal circumstances. Have you tried ripping the same CD back over in EAC?

Have you C2 error pointers enabled? If so, try to to disable.

Re: Question re dBpoweramp setup

Hello all, thank you very much!

Actually the drive produced the same errors on several disks, all of which had only been used a few times.

Today was the last day I could return the drive so I returned it and bought a Verbatim, which is shown as Pioneer BDR-UD04 in the software. It works exactly as expected, so all is good now. I really appreciate your assistance.

And btw: I love dbPoweramp. So much easier and more comfortable to use than EAC.
