I don't mean to be "testy" here, but I'm still not convinced it is the
CD drive.  And I now know it is not the CD.  My reasoning:

1) The drive was working flawlessly in kaudiocreator prior to the
upgrade to KDE 3.5
2) I was successfully able to burn a data CD in KDE 3.5 with k3b
3) I was successfully able to rip the CD with kaudiocreator on my laptop
(only problem here is that my music collection is on my desktop (this
gives credence to the fact that it is not the CD).  My laptop is running
KDE 3.4.3, but with an older kernel
4) On my desktop, I was able to rip the CD using Windows Media player
under Windows.

One other thing that is different from running kaudiocreator under kde
3.4.3 and running it under kde 3.5.2 is a kernel upgrade to
linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9.

One additional fact.  I nuked the kde 3.5 installation completely from
my system and went back to kde 3.4.  Then, kaudiocreator would not rip
the CD.  However, I was able to copy the original CD and then burn the
tracks using k3b and then, kaudiocreator would rip the CD.  And the
tracks play just fine in amaroK.

So, I reiterate, I don't think it is the CD drive.  It must be either a
setting that I don't have correct or it must have something to do with
some quirk in kde and/or kaudiocreator.

Regards,

Colleen
