Sorry
Kevin, the latter of my response was to ep, and actually as I re-read it, I
didn't explain fully. What I actually meant was to check whether the audio
device (your sound card) is sharing an IRQ # with another device, such as your
network card - or it could even be your hard drive. What will then happen is
when you are playing a CD, you go to boot a program, and you HD has to do work
to pull the program in to memory - but this disrupts your sound card as they are
both sharing the same interrupt request..

Just a

Not
sure that I am having trouble with setup. It's just that the burner is not
burning at 12x and I don't know why. It's on it's own seperate IDE port
so it really shouldn't be complaining about anything!

We
use Nero here, and have no complaints with it.

<SPAN
class=773560608-28082001>One thing to bear in mind - do you have any
conflicts with your IRQ settings? If you are on Win2K, then you can go to
admin tools / Computer Management - and take a look in the <System
Information / Hardware Resources / Conflicts/Sharing> tree, it should
tell you there. There is also a folder for IRQs, which will tell you what
IRQ each component is set to.
<SPAN
class=773560608-28082001>
If
not on Win2K then you can look at your IRQ settings within your BIOS set-up,
usually within PNP Configuration I think - but don't hold me to that :P

<FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>We use a Plextor at my office and I run Veritas Backup Exec, surf the internet or any other programs and have never had a problem. Very impressive burner. Now my one at home is being a big pain in the arse because it doesn't want to operate at it's maximum transfer speed. very troubling... <FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----From: root_at_fatcity.com [mailto:root_at_fatcity.com]On Behalf Of Kimberly SmithSent: Monday, August 27, 2001 12:06 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RE: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy <FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>I don't think its memory related at all.

I thought it was only because my personal pc has so little memory. I run into that behavior with explorer and playing mp3's at the same time. This also becomes a problem when burning a cd or changing formats, and even though I leave it alone, sometimes it ends up a bit garbled. How much memory do you have, EP? If I remember right you are the gamer and bought the big huge system for the pc games? -----Original Message----- From: <FONT face=Arial size=1>Jared Still [SMTP:jkstill_at_cybcon.com] Sent: <FONT face=Arial size=1>Saturday, August 25, 2001 6:51 PM <FONT face=Arial size=1>To: <FONT face=Arial size=1>Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <FONT face=Arial size=1>Subject: Re: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy sound Here's a stab in the dark: Windows still doesn't know how to gracefully handle software interrupts?
