NERO problem - last track of music cd-r is silent

I've been using NERO to copy and burn music cd-r's for about 6 months.
All went well (after a slow learning curve) until recently when the last
track of every cd I burn (using both NERO and NERO EXPRESS) is silent.
The "time" for the track is correct, but no sound is heard as it slowly
ticks off the seconds.

I first noticed this with a 2 disc set I burned on NERO EXPRESS. I
cleaned the lens with a cd-r cleaning disc, re-burned it with NERO, and
burned several other discs after that, with no problem. Now, EVERY
audio discs I rip, using either program, leaves off the audio sound for
the last track. I haven't changed/added any other programs on the
computer. The Sony cd burner/player plays OK.

Since NERO's help e-mail seems pretty time consuming and has a negative
reputation, I thought I'd post the question here first- since obviously
it's not the intial set-up that giving me problems, since I burned many
successful discs previous to this.

Thanks,

Steve

Are you, by chance, using a 650mb disc burner to burn 700mb discs? This was
the cause of the problem that I had which is the same as yours (but in some
cases, parts of the track were audible.
