That might depend on your drive.

Is the CD Drive in question built into the computer or is it external?

Is that drive a CD or DVD burner or just a CD or DVD ROM Drive?

The program Audio Cleaning Lab isn't the one detecting the hardware, Windows is. I think the program is accessing the hardware management of Windows for it to determine what hardware is what.

I know that I had an issue with an older Plextor drive because of third party software that was previously installed. Not sure if I should drop names but it was made by Adaptec, which later became Roxio. That software was controlling the hardware management of the drive, not allowing other software access to it. I think I worked around it by using MSINFO to reconfigure my system. I stopped all programs from running from startup and I was able to use the burner with all my other programs.

I couldn't say if that would help you, support is your best bet for that question
