Re: CD ripping suddenly produces garbage
Hi Andrew,
sorry that you are having problems. I have been using my CD drive for years
without any problems.
It's difficult to find possible reasons from what you write. Has anything
changed since you ripped successfully, e. g. new hardware, new kernel, new
cdparanoia version?
Any error messages or unusual output from cdparanoia?
Can you play these wav files on another machine (maybe windows), or can you play
wav's from another machine on yours?
