Summary:
Asus CUV4X, 933mhz, 256 ram, SB 5.1, ATI AIW AGP, Toshiba 15xx DVD rom, Win 2k
Problem:
Audio popping during ATI player 4.1 playback
Q: Why should this be happening? I am not trying to pass the Digital audio to the SB 5.1. I am using the AIW's SPDIF output directly to my receiver?
Attempted solutions:
1) updated bios, Asus 4 in 1 drivers, 2K service pack 2, Oct. 01
ATI video drivers.
2) SB 5.1 in PCI slot 3
3) DVD rom on its own channel alone (ONboard secondary IDE
controller)
Potential solutions:
1) rip out SB 5.1 and use Asus onboard yamaha audio (since
digital audio leaving via AIW)
2) different sound card, but which one? (i don't want to pay alot
since again I am using my AIW for SPDIF out)
3) reinstall win 2k in combination with 1 or 2
Last question: has anyone with an SB 5.1 had success by using the new (9/01) drivers off the creative web site?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm going nuts. This is why I ended up buying a plain old DVD player a year ago but
I don't think I have a choice but to go with HTPC for LT150 projection system
