The re-install of Windows will not change the interrupts on the usb, 1394 and sata if all of the controllers are mobo imbedded.
What is your CPU utilization at the time of the drops? What is the Firebox latency in ms? What is the soundcard buffer size? -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Shaffer Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 6:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Firebox/1394a Tweaks I have the 955x express chipset. I installed this Intel Matrix Storage Manager, that I suppose updates underlying drivers but I didn't check. I ended up with a windows app (the Manager) that showed I had 2 disk drives. It didn't appear to have any other functionality. The dropouts weren't fixed. Another Intel download is the floppy for a clean windows install, if you need the storage driver for the f6 driver option. I was considering doing a clean install to see if I could get the 1394 controller on it's own interrupt. I have 3 major devices on IRQ 19: usb, sata, and 1394. But am very likely to end up in the same situation if I reinstall windows. The best alternative may be to give up on the onboard 1394 and use a plugin 1394 card. > Just an FYI for those running the PreSonus Firebox with mother boards > equipped with specific Intel chipsets, PreSonus has recommended the > following driver update to resolve a potential intermittent audio > dropout/glitch condition during playback.
