Welcome to the forum

Can you give a bit more detail, such as your system specs and the programs you're using for playback, so forum members can help you better?

Can you check the DMA status of the drive please, there's a link in my signature "How to check/enable DMA" that explains it for various Operating Systems (since you don't mention which one you're using).

In that case, try each of your IDE channels and list the current transfer modes (not available or does not exist usually means there's no device on that channel - you'll notice each channel has Devices 0 and 1).

Thanks for the computer/software info BTW

Wow, only 5 Google hits for this burner model. It's not SATA is it?

AB9 Pro has a JMicron IDE port, try installing the proper drivers for it. May take some research, I don't use this myself.

I haven't heard of this drive either. Are you sure it isn't AD-5170A?
