so, I'm having a small problem. I bought a usb cd drive from amazon to burn a few cd's (old fashioned, I know). I use rhythmbox for that, which is able to create a cd from playlists with the appropriate plugin. However, every time I try to burn a CD, I hear the "usb-disconnect sound", the drive disappears from the file manager, then I hear the "usb-reconnect sound", the drive shows up again, but rhythmbox then reports an error message.
At first, I thought it might be an issue with rhythmbox, so I used the bundled cd/dvd creator tool, but it showed the same issue: I click start, short disconnect, reconnect, "connection to drive was lost". So I thought it might be an issue with the drive, even tho it's brand new - however, I connected it to a windows PC at work and it worked flawlessly.
I'm a bit at a loss here, the internet couldn't help me ... I'm usually able to figure out most of my problems myself but I do not know what to do here. I'm comfortable with using the terminal btw, so if a solution requires me to use that, I can.
Accessing the drive is the problem. Then the behavior above occurs. Even when I try to access the CD that already has songs on it, it will behave the same. Disconnect for a second, reconnect, and it goes on and on.
The error message is: "Ein Fehler trat beim Beschreiben der CD/DVD auf", which roughly translates to "An error occured while writing the CD/DVD", however, it also gave me an option to save the logs, I'll attach them below. Maybe that helps.

Session error : Ein Fehler trat beim Beschreiben der CD/DVD auf (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2854)
I don't have any other device at home I could attach it to, but as I stated in the initial post, it worked perfectly fine on an office PC that ran windows.
I bought a usb cd drive from amazon to burn a few cd's (old fashioned, I know). I use rhythmbox for that, which is able to create a cd from playlists with the appropriate plugin. However, every time I try to burn a CD, I hear the "usb-disconnect sound", the drive disappears from the file manager, then I hear the "usb-reconnect sound", the drive shows up again, but rhythmbox then reports an error message.
