Problem With EAC: less than perfect rips

I have a problem with EAC:  When it rips a cd that has scratches on it the error detection will go off (little box lower right with tiny boxes that flash red) Usually when the entire box goes red I get a sync error, however most times the first line of boxes goes red repeatedly over a period in a track, and even if the track is ripped displaying "Copy OK" that part of the song is filled with beeps and bops.

Is there a setting I could use to have more robust error checking?  I don't mind if the ripping speed slows down if I can be guaranteed a perfect rip if it displays Copy OK.

Are your EAC settings correct? I mean, if your drive caches and you tell EAC that the drive doesn't cache, what EAC will be re-reading is actually the faulty sector the drive has in its cache.

I'm pretty sure my settings are correct, I have accurate stream on, C2 error detection on, and caching off.  Hmm, so you're saying if I have caching off there might be a problem?  I'll give that a try.

to imrpove probability = warranty, that rip is perfect or at least click free, make test & copy in eac.
If you get crc mismatches, it shows, that eac is not able to extract the track with reliability.
And for safety, set the green marker in drive settings "drive cashes audio", then you on the safe side regarding the "cashe-feature".
to be also on the safe side, extract with no c2 usage, amke maybe comparison with c2 on a suspicious track you found, which clicks after extarction.

So, I found 3 things, you could improve and it is all in the high quality guides .

Clicks&pops AND copy OK seems imposible to me.
The clicks are either in the CD's audio content and you're doing nothing wrong, or some of the important settings are thoroughly wrong.
Do what user recommends (check "drive caches" and uncheck C2 capability), it will slow down extraction but won't decrease security for sure.
Maybe you have a bad drive or one that EAC can't deal with, what is it ?
I know that I know nothing. But how can I then know that ?
