Hi, Good to hear from you. OK, I've been running a A7V266-E for a couple of years for my Pro Tools rig. It's a great MB. That box is dual-boot, runs RH 7.3 with an RME HDSP 9652 and it's been a great box. I do run Jack for everything, so that is a difference, but I'm really pretty confident we can get you working. (I hope!)
OK, just a bit more info: 1) Please run hdparm -tT and send back the data. You're only reporting the buffered speed to the cache on the disk, and not the actual drive speeds. Let's make sure DMA is really on and the drive is doing a good job. 2) It appears that your video card is sharing an interrupt with the Sound Blaster. Is this SB on-board, or is this a second sound card? My version of the -E MB doesn't have on-board sound. Anyway, I'd like to see you go into BIOS, and move the interrupt for this sound device to IRQ 11, which should also move the video card since it's shared in your current configuration. This will be better for your video. At IRQ 4 it's actually behind your disk drives and really in a pretty strange place operationally. Give these couple of things a try and let me know how it's going. Good luck, Mark On Wed, 2003-03-26 at 15:16, Tobiah wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > > Tobiah, > > Hi.
