It may be, though I say may because I'm completely stumped, that there is some sort of
arbitration problem on your IDE bus. Check you CD drives and make sure that only one
is the Master and that the other is a Slave. Though if this is indeed it's doubtful
that
your computer would work at all. If it happens in windows as well, it must be a
hardware
problem and not a driver/software problem.
I had a friend once, that had similar troubles to which you are facing just now. In
the end,
it turned out to be a broken cable: it would corrupt the data intermitantly, so that
every
so often data would have to be re-sent from the device, causing considerable latency.
If you
have access to other cables, give them a try; but, it's a long shot.

Hello,
1. It has nothing to do with another mm application because It also
happeneds when I use cdplay in the console (before starting X).
2. When Steve asked me to check if the CD-ROM is actually connected to the
sound card I connected the CD-RW to the sound card too. The problem
occur with this drive too..
3. Last, I tried to check with my Windows ME. and it happened too.
The CD-RW is quiet new. Is it possible that some how even though the
second device doesn't work they confuse each other?
Although it happeneds in Windows too I don't think that there is a problem
with the devices themselves.

I've just checked again that it is connected to the sound card.
Are you low on memory? It could be that the HD activity is the system
doing a lot of memory swapping. Everything freezes for a second when
there is heavy swapping.
Is is possible there is a mm app trying to grab the attention of the sound
card?Maybe arts, esd or such? Have to admit to be guessing, because I
believe youare correct in what you say.The cd player should say Please
send this cd along that cable to the sound card. and it happen without much
'thought'.
