And as a simple suggestion... use 're-writable' discs to trouble shoot...
if only to save a few pennies that is... I also keep a couple dozen of
these discs around for projects... they can save money in the long run...
Just me being a penny pincher... <heh>

I have a problem burning standard audio CDs. On Ubuntu (Dapper Drake),
using K3b I am able to burn all variety of disks (wavs, mp3s, etc) but
when I create a standard audio CD I get dropouts. They do not sound like
a disconnect, but rather more like a controlled fade, followed
immediately by a fade to full volume. The whole dropout usually lasts
1/4 sec or so, though occasionally a dropout is not restored for the
remainder of the track. The format of the source material is irrelevant.
(PS. The drive was taken from an XP box where it creates audio CDs
perfectly.)
I've looked about for answers, but have never heard this symptom
described elsewhere.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Only to try another burning application, such as
cdrecord to see the problem arises.
AFAIK, *all* cd burning apps use cdrecord. they are just GUI wrappers
around cdrecord's functionality.
this sounds like an issue with system configuration. can you try running
k3b as root and see if the same thing happens?
