Help again...I still have not solved my problem with the audio yet, but I have a newer more pressing problem.

I am tryng to record some old albums I have and transfer to CD. Since I can record the recods now, the problem I have is when I try to burn an "audio" CD (I can burn data CDs with no problems). I get error messages from CDRDAO. It does not know what driver to use with my Lite-on LTR-52246S CD R/W drive. So, reading the general info, I have tried both the "generic-mmc" and the "generic-mmc-raw driver" with the same result (See typical response below).

cdrdao ----------------------- ERROR: Illegal option: --driver generic-mmc Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller andreas@daneb.de SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables. Usage: /usr/bin/cdrdao write [options] toc-file options: --device <x,y,z> - sets SCSI device of CD-writer (default: 0,0,0) --driver <id> - force usage of specified driver --simulate - just perform a write simulation --speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed --multi - session will not be not closed --overburn - allow to overburn a medium --eject - ejects cd after writing or simulation --swap - swap byte order of audio files --buffers # - sets fifo buffer size (min. 10) --reload - reload the disk if necessary for writing --force - force execution of operation -v # - sets verbose level -n - no pause before writing

So, does "illegal option" mean: that it is not correct for the drive, or that CDRDAO cannot find what it needs to use the drivers, or what ???

----------------------------------------------------- I looked at /var/log/messages and I see:

Aug 16 08:30:51 linux kernel: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Aug 16 08:30:51 linux kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 12x/12x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray -----------------------------------------------------

Looking at /var/log/boot.msg I see (Note the error number 2 below):

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
