[X4U] Audio CD Woes...

[Jens Selvig]

Do you have any auto login items running? How about firewire/USB  
stuff hanging off of the computer? You might try disabling those  
items to see if that helps.

One thing that always helps trouble shooting is to create a new user  
and see the problem persists.
