not that i am aware of. because it processes the burn as data to not as audio, therefore would not require any decoding within a sound card.
(note. its late so i hope that makes sense)
Also like stated above the different burning software doesnt really make a difference. hardware on the other hand can.
The three major factors, that i know of, are disc quality burner quality, and write speed.
Most people don't think write speed has an effect on a burn, they are correct in most cases. but when playing cds on various hardware you can encounter problems. the main being the player may not support that speed, thus skipping segments of data.
basically the faster you burn the more dye you have to affect, at fast speeds this dye can be changed incorrectly or not at all, resulting in corrupt/incomplete data on the cd.
The reason i state burner quality is that i have a spindle of burnt cds that my friend lent me, they all skip and sound shit when played in my car stereo. the only reason that i could think of for this is burner, he bought it for AU$50 like 4 years ago in japan, and its slowly failing. Could be laser or motor issues, all lead to dodgy burns
Disc quality from what was stated above. quality of dyes ect. but most discs are set to a standard of quality control so there is little problem in that area.
In answering the question. i burn using NERO at 24x or below depending on the use.
Audio - 12x
Data - 24x
