also tried with other media and cd's but no improvement so far.

tried with ONES and Nero and nothing seems to change, updated the firmware version, uninstalled programs but still nothing.... what could be going wrong, does the unit have some "reading-writing" options by default that are modifiable or that depends on the application you use to burn?

i just created another flac dvd and i noticed that it never went above 1.0x, it actually started to constantly decrease until reaching a ridiculous speed of 0.6x

it's an lg gsa-h22n

any thoughts or suggestions?

I think your drive is in PIO.
Right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device manager -> IDE ATA... -> Primary/secondary (check all 4)-> properties -> Advanced settings -> there should be on DMA (if its in PIO put it on DMA then reboot)

See also the bios settings if this will not work.
