I must note that I was able to do a rip of Ray Charles: genius loves company, with these same exact settings flawlessly. There isn't any damage on these cds. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the audio at all, it just gives me this sync error and I have no idea why. Do any you know why it is doing this?

doesn't depend on the cds and EAC I think, if CD is really ok.

A possible reason could be damage on hardware / wrong ASPI driver / a system overload (other programs maybe take a lot of processor / ram and HDD performances)... and some other... check it out yourself!

Is your Samsung SW-252B truly able to overread from the lead-out?

Also, I see you mentioned AccurateRip in the subject line, but nowhere in the body of your message.

If you uncheck the "Overread into Lead-In and Lead-Out" setting, you'll need to check the "Fill up missing offset samples with silence" setting in order for AccurateRip to still work. Regardless of the overreading setting, there is no penalty for leaving this other setting checked.

greynol:
As I said these same exact settings worked perfectly for Ray Charles: genius loves company. Yes I am using accurate rip. I guess I just didn't mention it in the body. Accurate-Rip is giving me a confidence level of 2. It says something about it being a different pressing. If it didn't support "Overread into Lead-In and Lead-Out" setting wouldn't I be getting sync errors not only at the end but also at the beginning as well? Why am I not getting sync errors at the beginning as well? I also don't think "suspicious position" is the correct specific sync error to signify that it isn't supported. I think something else is causing this.

memomai:
The only possible of problem of the ones mentioned would be damaged hardware, but if it was that it wouldn't be so consistent. I would be getting sync errors on other cds I rip as well on the other tracks. I have tried ripping these 4 times and get the same exact results each time. I tried 3 of those times to rip this end track all by itself and it still did this. I think something else is going on here.

You won't get an error when the samples in the lead-out are null.

No.

Because your drive does not read from the lead-in when a positive offset correction is configured.

It is precisely the error that is given when a drive cannot overread.

It could be, but is your drive capable of overreading in the lead-out?

Alright, I will check this setting and try your recommendation. Thank you for correcting me and doing so, so clearly. I appreciate it.

EDIT: I just turned off overread and checked the setting for filling up missing offset samples. So, I would think this indicates my drive does not support it. Is this correct?

If the error went away, then yes.

If I understand correctly, this will only affect cds that have non-silent data in the lead-in or lead-out. Even at that the samples I am missing will only account for 1 second to a few seconds of the song. Is this correct?

Since your drive has a postive offset correction, only the lead-out will be affected, just as greynol mentioned in post #5.

The missing samples will account for much less than a couple seconds. Your drive has a read offset of 97 samples, and since CDs have a sample rate of 44100 per second, that means you'll miss a maximum of 97/44100 seconds. That's about .002 seconds.

I recall reading somewhere that some Samsung firmware had issues with C2 and lead in/lead out.

If all else fails, try updating the firmware. I have 4 of the SH-S162L's, and since updating the firmware, there has been better C2 detection on some disks with less pronounced errors as well as reduction in Accurate-Rip confidence level issues.

Of course it could just be coincidence - it could be better source material now than before.
