have you tried playing the CD, through a dvd-rom drive?
you can try ripping the tracks from that instead
of through the cd-rom..
there's a program called dvd audio extractor here:
http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/
that can extract cd-audio, and also audio and
downmix surround tracks -> stereo
give it a try, its got a free trial period..
excellent software..
later
