I've seen a couple of discussions about similar problems to mine with
different models (the H30N seemed to be a hot topic about six weeks
ago) but I haven't seen any suggestions that make things work (or at
least point to a cause of the failure) for me. First, the facts.
- I bought this drive back in the spring. It appears to work fine in
WinXP with Nero 7.something or other.
- I started off with Ubuntu 6.10 and upgraded to 7.04, neither of
which seemed to work.
- cat /proc/version

- I went and grabbed the latest official cdrecord:
cdrecord -version

Do realize some things about this software, unlike most other CD burning
software it must be run as root, due to using some restricted commands
which other burning software packages avoid. You might try "cdrskin"
software and see if that works better, or "wodim" which I thought came
with ubuntu.
- It seems to find the drive okay:
cdrecord -scanbus

- Any attempt to write (-tao, -sao, -dao, -raw) gives me what appears
to be the same errors:
cdrecord -v speed=1 dev=0,0,0 -audio gbtrack_01.wav gbtrack_02.wav
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -sao mode.
cdrecord: If your drive does not accept -sao, try -tao.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive
dependent defaults.

It seemed like a good idea at the time
