<0> anyone know how to fix the audio-delay problem when not running as an Administrator account on Windows XP? (the audio gets garbled when cpu is under high usage)
<1> Get a better soundcard or update the drivers for the one you currently have
<0> I think the drivers are fine (it's the VIA Envy24 drivers), and it works perfectly fine if I use the adminstrator account
<1> Well there's the problem right there... VIA
<2> what is up with this conroe crap i hear?
<1> It's called a processor, dolt
<2> why is it so special?
<2> it can run superpi in 16 seconds? OMG, how amazing! *sarcastic*
<2> :D
<3> dolt
<3> i love that word
<3> dolt and dink
<4> Anybody that knows how to use microsoft excel well let me know please?
<5> did something change with efnet? I can't be ][aDEs anymore
<5> says invalid name
<5> anyway my real question... is there a way to dump the dns cache?
<5> i changed something in my hosts file, I want the address to be resolved by dns instead of in the hosts file... must I reboot?
<6> it's windows isn't it?
<1> ipconfig /flushdns
<1> lalalalalala
<5> kewl
<7> weird
<1> "Voice over IP (VoIP) kingpin Skype has done the unthinkable and introduced 100% free phone calls to all US and Canadian landline and mobile numbers." <<<--- Say it ain't so...
<1> "The internet telephony service, recently purchased by eBay, say the offer will last "at least until the end of 2006" - and reveal that there's not a sign up cost or hidden charge in site. The only snag to be found is that the SkypeOut caller must also be in the US or Canada."
<8> I'm pulling out my hair over IRQs. I need to get my audio card on its own IRQ. I have a good mobo (A8N-SLI) and winxp... How can I get it to take a lower IRQ, e.g. less than IRQ 15? I install to different slots, but somehow it always comes back to a higher IRQ.
<1> IRQ issues are a thing of the past, really
<1> ?? irqsteering
<9>
<1> BLAH
<8> I tried disabling/enabling plug-and-play, I moved the cards between slots. I can't change the IRQ in windows, and I can't figure out if/how to change the IRQ in my mobo.
<10> b33b: what makes you think you need to move it to a lower irq
<1> What makes you think you *have* to have it to another IRQ?
<11> that's insane bb
<1> What, the Skype thing?
<11> ya
<1> Just announced a bit ago
<10> someone better write a skype gateway for asterisk =)
<1> Too bad I ain't got nobody to call
<8> giesen - it's fighting for priority with my PCI-E card. When I run the audio card at very high loads (digital audio/music workstation), I get some clicks/pops. The manufacturer insists I need to get the IRQ on its own dedicated IRQ. They talked about 15 and higher being virtual IRQs and my mobo not giving them the same priority and that the PCI-E card is swamping the priorities
<11> call giesen
<11> ;)
<10> tried updating the drivers for your chipset?
<10> and your sound card/video drivers
<10> and what kind of card is it
<1> "On a whim we tried again this evening and it appears that Microsoft has updated its website and now allows US users of pirated or counterfeit versions of Windows XP to buy legitimate keys for $149 each -- a unique key is still required for each computer that runs Windows XP."
<8> giesen - I've tried everything imaginable. The only thing I haven't been able to successfully do is try getting the card on its own IRQ
<1> To do that you'd have to disable Plug & Play in the BIOS and find the section that allows you to ***ign an IRQ to a specific PCI slot
<1> Not even sure mobos do that **** anymore, been a long time
<8> broadband - I have a page that is not documented well in the manual. It has ten lines of drop-down lists that let me pick "PCI" or "Reserved"... Not sure what that does...
<1> That would probably be it
<1> But you have to realize something about how Windows handles IRQs these days... the virtual ones are mapped to 11, so it doesn't matter if you choose 15 or 99, it's still sharing 11 with all the other devices
<8> Alright, I'll keep hunting on the web for someone who has actually documented what that is.
<8> br0adband - the vendor said 15 and up were virtual IRQs?
<1> I just said that
<1> !learn irqsteering For info on why Windows shares IRQs for PCI devices, read the following two pages: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q182/6/04.asp and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;182628
<8> Oh, I thought you said virtual ones are mapped to 11, meaning mapped up to 11. I understand now.
<1> It means no matter what virtual IRQ is listed, Windows still routes the necessary stuff through IRQ 11 since it's shared
<8> Okay. So, I can reserve IRQs up to 10 and Windows then gets to ***ign some cards to those slots? That would be great.
<1> That's something your mobo handles, not Windows, but only if you disable the PNP stuff in the BIOS
<1> Sometimes you can do that without disabling PNP, however
<1> Every mobo is different
<8> Okay. So, if I reserve IRQs in the BIOS, how would Windows know which devices get to use those IRQs?
<12> you can ***ign pci interups in the bios
<12> not irqs
<12> there are only 4 pci interrupts
<12> and ***igning those manually could help
<1> Sup chris
<12> i just looked at the manual for that board and you can't set them manually
<12> maybe you shoudl try a different card
<8> himeko - dang. Wondered what the manual/auto IRQ ***ignemnt page was for. It shows "reserved" and "PCI" fields for each.
<12> or use the onboard sound
<8> onboard sound won't work. It can't keep up with my audio work.
<12> b33b that is for non pnp isa cards
<12> useless as you don't even have isa slots
<1> Yanno, he did say the BIOS screen he found was undocumented, Himeko
<12> i know the one he is talking about
<8> poorly documented anyways. Maybe I missed something useful.
<1> Anything that relates to PCI and the word "Reserved" will definitely be related to IRQs on a mobo
<12> reserverd for isa
<1> ISA != PCI yanno
<12> no
<12> the choices are pci or reserverd
<8> The OS pages br0adband sent seem to talk about disabling PCI steering, but I can't find that in XP. Seems like a win98/ME thing?
<12> per irq
<1> The second link is about disabling it
<12> the problem is most likely faulty or crappy sound card
<1> http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314068 or http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=252420 also
<12> b33b btw when you tried the onboard sound did you use the reltek or nvidia sound driver
<8> Himeko - I don't think so. I'm just pushing the sound card very hard. Far harder than most people would normally do. It needs tremendous priority, and it's not getting it. If anything, this is actually a problem with the NF4 chipset. My soundcard is fine with every other popular chipset.
<1> I'd say get a better soundcard, maybe?
<8> The problem is that the NF4 chipset gives too much priority to the graphics card.
<1> Or a better mobo?>
<12> i also have the nf4 ultra chipset
<1> Oh... it's *that* mobo
<12> i have 0 sounds probs
<8> Himeko - I never get sound problems either, unless I have 30 channels of audio and DSP running at the same time pushing my dual core setup to > 65% CPU total. This is a DAW problem. I don't get clicks in Winamp
<1> hahaha I was just about to say that Himeko probably isn't pumping out 30 channels of audio... go figure
<8> So, I gambled on the NF4 chipset and I've hit a problem. If you google for nf4 daw problems, you get lots of hits :)
<12> not unless some game i play uses 30 channels
<1> DAW == Digital Audio Workstation, yanno... serious stuff
<8> I dunno how serious I am, but I do know I'm pushing my system pretty hard.
<1> You making your own tunes or just doing production work?
<8> make my own tunes
<1> Cool
<12> it's strictly and nt4 problem
<12> er it's not
<12> and nf4
<8> The strange thing is, I move my PCI card to another PCI slot and it still seems to get the same IRQ? Does that make sense?
<12> yes
<1> It's called IRQ Steering :D
<12> use a pci video card
<8> himeko - that's my next step :(
<12> seems to me the pci-e chipsets have this problem
<8> Crazy I still have to think about this in 2006
<1> Yep
<8> I wish there was a way to disable PCI steering. Seems to be on older OS's
<12> i'm doubting it would saolve anything anyway
<12> seems more like the pci-e stuff is setup to take priority over pci
<8> Well, I guess I have to shell out money on an ancient PCI card. That's great.
<12> or wait for a pci-e audio card
<1> "If your system firmware supports manual configuration of IRQ settings, as a troubleshooting method, try manually ***igning IRQs to specific PCI slots by using the configuration options in the BIOS. If you need to manually ***ign IRQ addresses for an ACPI-compliant computer and the BIOS option to disable ACPI is available, disable ACPI before installing Windows XP Professional."
<8> Too late for that :)
<1> But most likely the issue lies with that mobo and chipset, from what I keep reading
<8> Two days to reinstall the system. That's a drag.
<1> That's what imaging software is for... 20 minutes :P
<12> that wouldn;t help in this case
<1> He could try changing the PC type to Standard PC, that would force the BIOS to ***ign the IRQ
<12> yep , he could try
<8> Where do I change PC type?
<12> sometimes results in a bsod though
<1> It does come with some risks... but Device Manager - Computer - change the driver from ACPI to Standard PC then reboot
<1> "tarball has to decompress, that'll take about 20 minutes..." <<<--- Must be a slow damned PC for just a small audio file... why can't TV shows be at least basically accurate for computer tech
<8> Time to experiment a bit more. bbiab unless my system gets hosed :)
<1> lalalalalalala
<1> Sup Nukey
<8> Hmm. So, I move the device to another slot, but haven't installed the driver yet. It shows up as an unknown device with IRQ 10. Perfect. Thing is, I think as soon as I ***ign the device driver, it will move back to IRQ 16. Can I do anything to stop that re***ignment?
<1> Probably not, it's the driver doing it now
<8> Can't I nuke anything to do with the driver in the registry? The hard part is hunting all the remnants down :(
<1> And I take it your BIOS doesn't have an option to just disable PNP totally, like where it asks how to handle PNP stuff, BIOS or the OS
<8> It says "PnP OS?" - I have that set to "no" right now.
<1> Yeah, that's the one
<8> So, now windows is setting the IRQ (or steering it) away from the proper default one (IRQ 10 right now) to something else.
<1> Well, since you disabled the PNP and you're now using the Standard PC stuff, go into Device Manager and see if it'll let you change the IRQ Resource for that card
<1> When ACPI is working, you can't change resources at all
<8> I haven't tried the standard PC thing yet. I'm nervou about that :) Right now I have "ACPI Multiprocessor" (my dual core) and I'd be changing two things - ACPI and the multi-processor support.
<1> Ah...
<1> Then that's one reason it's re***igning the IRQ, the soundcard driver is ACPI-compliant
<8> Yes, the soundcard driver is definitely ACPI compliant. I just wish it would stop using IRQ 16... Where is it getting that info?
<1> Windows is ***iging a virtual IRQ
<1> lalalalala
<12> hmm
