Check if the CD-ROM you are using has a jumper on it to select
sector size.  Some CD-ROMs I bought when 2x was still available,
like the Toshiba XM3401 and a similar Sony, have a jumper to select
between 512-byte and a larger size (1K or 2K, I don't recall which).

It took some digging to get the jumper info for the Toshiba as I
recall.  It was there but "hidden".
