I thought about that at one point trying to get this
old WavJammer card to record. But if I recall
correctly, using a 6GB HDD didn't solve the recording
bug. Still, no harm giving it a try to confirm things
one way or the other.
I also thought the newer, higher speed HDDs might
help, but no.

Is it possible to de-install DirectX, and go backwards
a version? Maybe setting up an old Win95 OS, then
imaging it, and then updating the DX to a newer
version each time would do for a few tests. Then the
same for Win98.
Are the various versions of DX archived anywhere?

Well, again... I've tried Win98 and Win98SE with a
couple different sets of audio drivers for this card
to no avail. Still recording pops, wheezes and
groans. But you're better at these sorts of things
David. I could very well have missed something.

I know the tendency these days is to blame the Libbys
as being too old and underpowered for the job as John
seemed to be expressing. But hecks... years back I
had an old 486 DX-nothing system recording crystal
clearly in Win3.1. ... Seems >something< in the
Libbys should be able to be tweaked to fix the
problem.
