k3b: "error decoding audio tracks" and "could not unlock cd driver"

lefty.crupps · 10-03-2005, 02:30 PM

For some reason k3b is suddenly not working. I've not done any updates or package changes.

I open it to burn a comp cd, click on the folder containing the *.wav files I have ripped from cds that I use as my data base for making compilations, but it won't open the folder - whaa!?

So I open the folder via the "home" icon. I click & drag the desired files from the "home" folder into k3b, complete the track list, click burn and shortly thereafter I get an error saying, "error in decoding audio tracks" and "could not unlock cd driver".

This problem is recent; been able to use the program smoothly up until today. What went wrong? And why can't k3b open my music folder?

I ran k3b setup and it didn't change anything. These are *.wav files that I have ripped and I can hear (play) them so I know that they're valid files...

Sounds like a media problem... I had the same issue burning audio CD's with K3b. It will burn my Fuji disks but I get the same error as you when I try to burn using Sony CDR's. Try a diff media manufacture if you have recently tried new media. Otherwise try lowering the burn rate...

No, its not the media... Any other ideas for me?

still looking for help on this... should i downgrade k3b or some codec or something? these are just wav files... and it was working until it stopped, without cause that i can find...

OK so you have the .wav files... I assumed you were trying to burn audio format CD's if you just want to copy the .wav files to cd then you would just need to create a data CD.

The question? You have the .wav format already on your HD... What do you want on the CD, .wav or audio?

sorry, I want an audio CD made from a variety of .wav files that i created. i can listen to them, so i know they're good.

well eventually i upgraded the k3b, mkisofs, and cdrecord packages. then i ran the k3bsetup2 program to update permissions.

now life is good again. thanks LQ'ers!
