I already tried Apple Super Drive and it has the same problem with noise and delays. The problem is the CD Plugin software which is not optimized for playing from Redbook audio CDs. I basically gave up on using Volumio for playing audio CDs. Look at these other threads:
I am using an HP USB CD/DVD Drive (F2B56AA). Volumio is running the drive at high speed (up to 24x for this drive), and the drive is very noisy as it is constantly spinning up and spinning down while playing a CD.
When I connect the same drive to my Mac or PC and play a CD with VLC or Apple Music, the drive is almost silent.
I am running the latest version of Volumio 3.
Volumio 2 did not support gapless CD playback. How about Volumio 3?
Gapless playback is important for classical music CDs. In music with long movements (such as Mahler symphonies), the record label sometimes splits a long movement into multiple tracks. On a standard CD player, it will play continuously without interruption, but when a software player doesn’t support gapless, there may be a brief pause between tracks.
