How did I know that you were going to says don't surf! That is what my boss tells me all of the time..... Ran the Flexradio DPC check and it suggested I switch to Safe Mode 1. Which I did and all seems ok now. Just now when opening IE it shot up to a latency of 14827 and then down to 240. But PSDR did not lock up. Now why didn't I think to check that. Oh my aging brain! BTW, I have a Siig firewire card with the TI chipset. Also have a decent video card a NVIDEA GeForce 9500 GT with 512 mb of RAM. All of the drivers were up to date. Oh and let me tell you how much I love my 5000A. Worked VQ9LA an hour ago with 100 watts to my BigIR vertical. Got T32MI on two different bands over the weekend and DS5USH last week. I could never see myself going back to a (old fashened) radio with knobs.

" Stop browsing the web when you are operating the radio :-) The problem is that your video adapter is probably responsible for burst of long duration DPCs and the latency is adversely affecting the data flow through the Firewire cable by making the Firewire card wait. You can validate this by running DPCLAT and see if there is a correlation between the distorted audio and several consecutive long duration DPCs (spikes in the red). You can try updating your video card's drivers and your PC's BIOS. If you are using a motherboard attached Firewire interface, consider one that connect to the PCI/PCIe bus instead. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of vtnn...@comcast.net Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 6:40 PM To: Flex Radio Subject: [Flexradio] Weird audio distortion when viewing the web and PSDR is running Lately when I am using PSDR and I open most web pages the audio starts to distort and then get real raspy. Not all sites do this. And some like http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage cause PSDR to stop completly In fact if I leave this site up PSDR will not stay running for more than a few seconds. If I hit Start on PSDR is Stops after a few seconds and does this over and over When running 1.18.3 it did this as does 1.18.5 on my 5000a. I have firmware 1.3.0.8 and Fiewire 3.5.0.7171. The PC is homebrew (XP SP3) and usually shows the CPU running at 12% with PDSR, DDUTIL CW SKimmer and DXLab suite running. Tried resetting the DB but that made no difference. And it was working ok up until a few weeks ago. The other odd thing that happens sometimes is that the audio going my amp and speakers cuts out completly sometimes. But there is still audio going to the headphones. If I close down PSDR and restart it the audio comes back. Have not made any changes recently to the PC. Does anyone hae any thoughts as to what is wrong here and how I can fix it?
