[G4] audio burn errors on Sawtooth

Hi Folks,

I have an interesting thing going on.  I reciently started using Taiyo 
Yurden 52x CD-Rs.  I have a Sawtooth with a replacement burner.  The 
replacement is a HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4520B.  It plays CDs and DVDs.  I 
have not noticed a problem using Toast 6 to burn data on the T.Y CD-Rs. 
  However, audio burns have definite static sounds.  I never noticed the 
problem when burning onto Sony 24x discs. In fact, I just burned a Sony 
CD-R today and it sounded fine.

I also have a MMD that has a superdrive.  I decided to try using Toast 6 
  to burn an audio CD on a T.Y disc.  It sounds fine.  I can also burn 
audio CDs from a PEAK 5.01 LE playlist on the MMD.  I like the fact that 
PEAK will verify the audio burn.  Toast does not.

All burns were at 4x.

I thought of trying to burn using PEAK on my Sawtooth.  The idea was 
that with PEAK's ability to verify, I would know immediately if there 
was a problem.   Unfortunately, the drive is not recognized.  It is not 
an apple drive.  I got it years ago when I was still using OS 9.

I would like to use the Sawtooth for CD burning.  However, if the 
combination of Toast, an audio burn and the T.Y. CD-R blanks is 
unreliable and I cannot use PEAK, I'm somewhat stuck unless I can find 
more Sony blanks that work.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions.

Carol
