RE: cdrom stopped making noise




On the other hand, MY 24x toshiba couldn't grab audio in a satisfying
speed, couldn't read some of the CD-Rs and broke down 3 times within the
warrany period.
I have a second drive (which is a 12x CyberDrive) which still works to this
very day.

How about that?

1) It is not a Linux problem.
2) Instead of buying the fastest CD-ROM, by a good one
    (my Toshiba x 40 cost 50 Sheqels more then Unknown x 50, but it is
GOOD).
3) Try to change the "read ahead" or some sound-like parameters. If you
will
    Increase your buffer then maybe it won't try to allocate file position
so frequently.
