I'm not sure I understand the problem. Do you mean when you change the speed to 4X, it actually burns at 2X anyway or do you mean it won't allow any speed other than 2X to be selected?

Anyway, I think this is your drive:

As you can see, the newest firmware is 0060. You have 0055. You might consider updating.

Your problem sounds similar to one I encountered with a Lite On 165H6S. I could choose any speed to burn at (I tried them all) but the resulting burn was always 3x and, sometimes, the dvd's would stop and start in my standalone (not always). After finding out how lousy their support was and trying all their suggestions, I pulled the drive, returned it and installed another make. Problem solved. Hopefully, a firmware update will work for you but, if not, it may be a defective drive.
