Computer IDE CD-Rom + Controller from aliexpress.
Issue:
It does not recognize all tracks on on the CD.
Anyone knows the reason?

All I can suggest is to try a different drive.
Or, give up and buy a DVD or Blu-ray player from a thrift store. Those all have S/PDIF outputs, which I seem to remember was one of the main motivation for turning CDROM drives into audio players. Newer players tend not to have front-panel displays, though. Some of the no-name models have undocumented support for DVD-Audio.
