Paul, Looks like you have covered all the bases. I think it may be a 1394 controller issue. With the computer you have running at 15% utilization and the buffers high (more latency), you shouldn't be getting the drop outs.
Then it also could be a cable problem too. The 6-pin Firewire connectors are not the tightest fitting connector around. -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Shaffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 11:19 PM To: Tim Ellison; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Firebox/1394a Tweaks > > The re-install of Windows will not change the interrupts on the usb, > 1394 and sata if all of the controllers are mobo imbedded. That's what I'm thinking, so I am reluctant to try this. It would allow me to really learn the hp dv8000 a lot better, but it burns up 4 hours at least. I would image the drive first so I always can get the system back. I am a big fan of BootIt NG. > > What is your CPU utilization at the time of the drops? The cpu performance counter on the radio is 9-14%. It doesn't change during the dropouts. > > What is the Firebox latency in ms? 10mSec currently. I have tried up to 25mSec. > > What is the soundcard buffer size? 2048. I've tried all the settings with no change in dropouts. This is all preliminary information and I apologize in advance for any mistakes.
