Why does "ddrescue" fail for Audio Discs? (lemmy.ml)

I have an audio disc that I want to produce a one to one ISO of (it has some marks).

When I try to use "ddrescue" to copy it, I get the following error message. ddrescue: /dev/sr0: Unaligned read error. Is sector size correct?.

What am I doing wrong? I would assume "ddrescue" would automatically figure out the sector size.

To note, I want to use "ddrescue" because "abcde" keeps hitting read errors on the disk.

Edit:

Seems that "ddrescue" does not support audio discs (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/558628).

And "abcde" already uses "cdda paranoia".

I've had success even on damaged discs with Exact Audio Copy on Windows, or fre:ac on Linux. Paranoia mode (or secure mode) is going to take a long time. It could be worth ripping with the fast burst mode and see if you can hear the errors/skips.
