Burning audio CD's 1st track always hosed after 16 secs, any ideas.
 

I have a pioneer DVD-115 drive for the source and HP 8210i burner. When burning a copy of an audio CD, the first track is always a scrambled mess after 16-20 seconds, but the rest of the tracks on the copy are perfect. This has happened now with three different source CD's. Any ideas? Gonna try copying from the HP to the HP next and see what happens. Have burnt them all at 1x speed as well. Thanks for any help you can provide.

What are you using for software?? Try using the newest version of Easy CD Creator, or Nero's newest release...

I'm using adaptec easy cd creater 3.5c that came with the HP drive. I've also used Nero 5.0.3.1. I've done about 15 audio CD's over the past week and a half and about 6 of them have this same problem with the first track. After 10 seconds, it just starts going bzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzb for the rest of the track. All the rest of the tracks play fine. AARRGGHH! It's driving me nuts! Help

To create audio-cds, feurio is a very programm. It can easily copy cd cd you want to burn to HD and before burning you can listen to the copied tracks and ensure, that they have been read correctly. If the tracks on your HD are ok and your problem remains, you should contact HP, I think.
