I've searched the archived, but can't find anything.
My CDs are stuttering every few seconds on playback. The DVD drive seems to work like crazy in spurts. It'll spin like crazy to give me 5 seconds of audio, then cut-out and spin like mad again to give me the next 5 seconds. It does this burst thing when trying to look up playlist database info in Amorak too.
I remember having a similar problem with Ubuntu a few years back, and had to set things with hdparm... the DMA from 0 to 1?
I've played around for a few hours, but can't get it going.
Here is the output of "hdparm -I /dev/sr0"

"
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Not too sure why or how, but it's now working. I noticed that KsCD was open in the minimise tray whilst I was running Amorak. Closing this could have been the solution.
