I have a LG 8520B CD that's been giving me fits. It was always very slow (3.0x) in EAC "Secure Mode" with which I can live. But now, for some strange reason, the drive always extracts to 0.0% Peak level no matter what combination Gap/Index and Detection accuracy method I chose. I've tried Secure, Burst and Fast modes. I've lurked around HA to find a solution but haven't seen a thread that addresses this. I'm tempted just to dump this troublesome drive considering its cost versus the time to hunt down a solution.
This drive can DAE in other applications (SonicStage, Rio Music Manager) with no problems. I'll be looking for some apps to do screeen captures so that I can upload my EAC settings. Anybody have some suggestions what I can use to do this? I've seen screen captures used in other threads and it clarifies the subject

0.0% peak level would mean that nothing was extracted, do the extracted files contain anything or are just digital silence?
Anyway, IIRC such things happen when wrong read command is used - go to Drive tab of Drive options and click "Autodetect read command now", if it won't work try all the read commands one by one.
The easiest way to do screen captures is to press left ALT and PrintScrn, then active window will be copied to clipboard so you can paste it in any graphics program and then save as picture.

Unfortunately, I don't have upload privelages to my posts so I'm limited to text content.
I do have Autodetect selected. Detection Method A is completely incompatible with my drive. The only method I get response from is Method C and of course it renders digital silence. After extraction I have substantial files: ie. an image or .wav file will be +500,000 kB in size for example which suggest there is data contained in the file.
The EAC settings otherwise are standard: the offset particular to this drive, I use a Nero ASPI interface (the native ASPI interface behaves the same way), EAC syncronizes between tracks, normalizing is unchecked...

No problem - all you have to do is open a new thread in the "uploads" forum

You didn't understand, I'm not talking about Gap Detection but about Drive read command - run EAC, select the problematic drive, click EAC menu, choose Drive options..., switch to Drive tab, and click
"Autodetect read command now" button.
P.S.: How to add pictures uploaded to HA goddammit??

I did understand. The Autodetect under the Drive tab -> Drive Read Command. Under that dropdown, I have already tried each selection too as you suggested. I'll keep plugging away. I had it working once I'll get 'er working again

Just set the read command to MMC-1 and everything will be fine ... you should also check whether you have accidentally enabled reverse-byte-order (Big Endian) in the 'drive' tab ...
