I'd suggest reading the changelogs for your ripping software, and for the
Linux CD driver, and your soundcard, if the CD is ripped through it. Perhaps
something has switched from digital ripping to analogue ripping, or vice
versa. I expect there are a number of other possibilities, too.

Personally, I've never had any trouble with CDs at all, except back before IDE
CD standards, when I was just getting started with Linux and misunderstood
something. You might also want to check if your CD drives have updated
firmware available, or if they're just flaky, etc. CDRWs have been a bit
more troublesome, but again, reading the docs helped a lot. Mostly, it just
works for me.
