hi everybody, i have a problem  and hope somebody of you knows to help?
problem: i use an audiophile usb in my laptop. and when playing back an mp3 in winamp, and in parallel copy some data from the cd rom to hd, the playback stutters and is choppy. if copying is finished, everything is fine. this occurs to me on 2 different machines, i also tested this on the new daw i have.
no problems occur if copying big files from hd to hd. this should not be a latency setting or performance problem, because the daw is new.
has this happened to anybody else also?
all the best, dtd |

i think this is pretty normal when you move stuff on Harddrives...
you probably need lots of ram to aviod it if its even possible... maybe like 2gb ram would help...
i really dont know..
but it happens here aswell.. i dont see it as a problem though... |

thanks for the answer, New Era Scientist. it does not happen for hd to hd moves, only for cdrom to hd moves. and i got 2GB of ram 
i fiddled the whole day with drivers, settings and other stuff. now i figured it out:
the cd rom drive should be used with jumper set to slave drive, not master drive (even if there's no other (master) devices on this ide chain, still make the one and only device slave). i guess the problem was in interrupt priority when being handled by the hardware.
so this solved it, quite happy now i can listen to psytrance and move stuff around with no choppy  if this helped anybody else, i'm happy too! |
