Yep, sorry. I have tried it on my Windows 11 PC, and Windows 10 laptop. Both just using standard windows security.

... and you are sure Windows Security is NOT interfering when ripping? I ask, for clarification.

He's had success using a different drive and with different rippers, that alone reduces the possibility of security software being an issue down to almost zero, but he also ran it in safe mode a couple of weeks ago.

At this point short of illustrate buying one of the drives or giving him some debug version of CD Ripper I think he's out of options.

What might be useful is if someone knew of a drive he could buy, one ideally with no caching and good C2 support.

It appears all options have been explored!
Appreciate all the help that was provided, but I've decided to give up pursuing a fix for this.

Just spent my afternoon on the same issue. Seems that the drive is really buggy, but why is EAC working correctly out of the box with it? No way to debug why Win Native is not work?

There's no firmware update

Yes I can confirm these are garbage.

I purchased a unit in 2020 and finally got to use it in 2021.

Initially the unit was making a clicking noise on the rips to my hard drive and everything ripped was inaccurate, as has been alluded to in other posts here. I attempted all sorts of fixes and one day I managed to get some accurate rips but I have no idea what caused the change in behaviour.

I had to rebuild my PC in 2022 and the issue reappeared. I contacted Verbatim and they sent a new unit but it performed as badly as the first.

Today I purchased an external Pioneer BDRXS07TUHD as I need the ability to transport and it gave 100% accurate rips on the 20 CD's

I can also confirm Exact Audio Copy works well with this drive.

It's not a drive issue, its a dBpoweramp issue.

CD Ripper >> Green Options button >> CD Ripper Options

Communication to 'Windows Internal'

Restart CD Ripper

Basically the drive is garbage, if you care about ripping, replace the drive it is the only one out of 5000 drives, and I suspect it is the version of the drive which has been patched to rip blu-rays.
