Greetings.
Heres the story. I bought a PX-716A burner about a month ago ,no problems whatsoever. In any case, all of a sudden I cant get the burner to burner at a speed faster than 8.0-8.5.
I was reading these forums and tried some of the remedies suggested unfortunately no luck thus far. Here is what I have done.
I did have a second CD burner connected as a slave on the same IDE cable but have since disconnected to se if this would remedy the problem. It did not.
I also removed the Nvidia Audio drivers but windows wants to replace them with the same drivers once I reboot and it finds the hardware.
I do have PlexTools and here is what it found:
