Thanks for your help Jake. I mixed up the packaging and found it was an LG drive when I pulled the machine apart.
It was a combination of two things, I upgrade the firmware per your suggestion and this fixed a lot of other unrelated errors. Firmware upgrade was from A100 to A105. Also for some reason I had to turn the other bit to write on the /dev/cd0* device. I have never had to do this before to do a user read on an audio device, but anyway it fixed the issues I was having. Thanks for your help Jase ;-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 4 November 2005 5:32 PM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: Problem ripping audio CD in Liteon DVD-DL drive On Fri, Nov 04, 2005 at 03:25:48PM +1100, Tubnor, Jason B wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem ripping an audio CD with cdparanoia.

I can confirm that cdparanoia works correctly for me on -current with a LiteOn "DVDRW SOHW-1633S" with same IDE controller as you, "VIA VT82C571 IDE" rev 0x06. if I were you, I'd try to update the firmware of the drive. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
