Actually, it doesn't seem as if Mike has a buffer underrun problem; he *can*
burn disks at 2x or 4x speeds, and they *can* be read by some of his CD
equipment, but not by his living room stereo CD player.
So the problem in this case is one of either media that do not come out
clear enough when burned at speeds >1x, a player that cannot correctly read
CDs that are burned too "loosely", or a burner that does not imprint the
digital info onto the media enough when burning at higher speeds.
Or a combination of these factors.
Since he has already tried using different media, I think a combination of a
weak burner and a shabby CD player is the most likely; either the burner
doesn't leave enough imprint on the media at high speeds, or the player is
bad at reading low-differential CD-Rs, or both.
