Sonic DigitalMedia LEv7 came with my Dell PC in 2005. I have burnt many CDs without problem until now when I get an error "There was a problem reading data fast enough to your recorder" . I can still burn CDs using Windows Media Player.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no effect.

Can you help please.

Try reducing the burn speed to a slower speed.

Andy,

This condition happens when something slows down the parts of your system that are trying to collect and feed the data.  Having too much [antivirus, etc] running in the background, trying to perform other tasks while burning, a fragmented hard drive where the heads have to skip back and forth to pick up pieces of the files - all these things will make it worse.

Look up "buffer underruns" in your software's help system, and it should give you a list of things which will ease this problem.

I blame it all on Global Warming / Global Cooling / Global Staying the Same  [pick one]

Thanks, Brendon.

Reducing the burn speed has solved the problem but I will look at "buffer underuns" to see if there is an underlying cause.
