I would suggest you check your settings prior to burning most CD writing programs have some kind of buffering during the write process, make sure whatever it is called is turned on. Audio CDs require a continuous stream of data and the pops and clicks are most likely (but not always) to be due to this being interrupted. The other thing to do is make sure you exit any unnecessary software when doing the burning process to see if this helps. It may then be worth investigating whether the drive firmware is up to date and possibly experiment with a different brand of blank CD, some CD writers are known to have problems with one or other brand.

I've tried burning at 1x 2x 4x 8x and 24x, with no different results. Anybody got suggestions as to how I can stop these pops/clicks being added to the burn?
