I use secure mode. To be fair, the only time I've seen CRC mismatches in secure mode was with a LiteOn 5235K combo drive, which apparently has a design problem with bad error detection. This problem showed up in the Nero CD-DVD speed Advanced DAE Quality Test as an error correction quality score that's not 100 percent. I dumped that drive like a hot potato and haven't seen this problem in secure mode since. Every other drive I've tested gets 100 percent in that Nero test, and none of these have had mismatched CRCs in secure mode.However, the CRC mismatch with "test and copy" still shows up in burst mode fairly often with every drive I've tried. I don't know if the error correction comes into pley in this mode of extraction or not though.
I've never tried the fast mode.
My player settings are:
Secure mode
Drive caches audio data - checked
Drive is capable of retrieving C2 error information - checked
Allow speed reduction during extraction - checkedAnd the EAC option for CRCs:
No use of null samples in CRC calculation - uncheckedRip using "test and copy uncompressed" (F6) OR
"test anc copy compressed" (Shift-F6) (with external FLAC encoder configured as the compressor)
