    DVD/CD Player Locks After Rip

    Hello!
    I'm using a Pioneer BDR-XD08UMB-S, which is a great device for ripping audio CD's. To this point I have been using freac in Linux. The reason I bought this was to "contribute" back so that dbPowerAmp could push results to the database for others to check against. Most of my CD's are in excellent condition. I've also found that dbPowerAmp appears to be a bit faster and has great control over the speed it rips CD's. BTW - freac had no problem with respect to excellent results, and had very few "bad tracks" on CD's (2 out of 1000 so far)

    Running the Pioneer under Linux, the eject button on freac worked well and I could use that, or just press the button on the unit. Well, that's changed a bit. For some unknown reason, dbPowerAmp does not want to eject the CD by software control. If i try that FIRST, the physical button will NOT eject it. I actually have to disconnect the CD USB cable, and plug it back in. If I close the dialog box with no further software interaction, I can use the eject button and it works.
    NOTE: I am using a Windows 10 Virtual machine under Linux, and also need to point out I have never had any trouble with any connected hardware, and I run a lot of different types of HW. But still...any possibility it's a pass-through issue?

    Any explanation for this?

    Thanks,
    Gary

    Likely yes, not sure how you would fix it, dual boot?

      I did find something of interest. If I launch the VM, then dbpoweramp, after the first rip the Pioneer player will not open, with the physical button or the software eject.
      However, if I launch dbpoweramp, then FIRST go into ripper options, select the drop down "After Rip" (just open and close it, even if it's at do nothing), then run the ripper, it fixes it. After ripping the first CD It will then open with the button OR the software eject.

        That part should not do anything with the cd drive, except read drive capabilities.

          That's an opinion, not a fact. Doing those steps allows the software to get control of the eject.
