Hello all. After changing from IDE HD to SATA HD I am experiencing a stange problem. Every time there is just a little activity on the HD i hear some terrible cracking sounds from my monitors. This happens wherever i am listening to music in winamp or making music in cubase. It sounds like the music "slows down" when the HD is working. What could possible be the problem here? I have offcause tried updating drivers and so on.
My mobo is: Asrock p4s55fx+ and my soundcard is : M-audio 2494 The HD's is two maxtor 160 gb sata disks in raid.
I hope that some of you guys can help a confused trancelover! |

maybe a irq conflict... (even though there shouldnt be)... I think the only solution is format the windows partition and reinstall windows and softrware...

Experienced with the same problem, using same sound card. In fact it is an IRQ conflict, in my case the conflict is in between sound card and net card. There is no way to solve it in from what ive tried nothing helps.
ive tried to change some net card setting, to move IRQs, to insert sound card into another PCI slot. Nothing! |

I ve tested once ago and
it was about the Hard Disc Dma buffer size.
Make sure when bios boots in whitch IDE CHANNEL the sata controler assigned
Go to my comuter->r8 click->options->Device Manager->IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers click the controller and make sure settings are "auto".
If its a conflict u can make it sure by changing the view of Device manager to "sources by connection".
M-audio drivers sometimes when installing other hardware crashes,so i would also suggest to reinstall it before formatting ur system 
Good Luck!

Hmm, i seem to have tried everything without any good results. I´ve tried changing PCI slot, reinstaling drivers and even to reinstall windows. I have an idea that maybee it is because of my motherboard. I heard somewhere that on some motherboards the PCI slots and the SATA share the same BUS. Anybody knows anything about that? |
