What do you mean by tune configuration?

Hmmm....Check adaptec's site to see weather there is an updated driver for
your particular CD Burner.

Also try using another program to rip the tracks off the source CD. Try
using Logic to do it, or if you have need for mp3 encoding, check out the
App "Sound Jam MP" from Cassady & Greene. It's only $50 us and I thourghly
recommend it. It will batch a whole CD of audio into aiff and has the very
nice feature of being internet savvy and with the click of one button it
will go online to this huge CD database and get all the track names and
automatically name all the tracks you are lifting. This takes about 5
seconds!

Anyhow, obviously don't bother till you get to the source of your problems.

Good luck...
