Thank you for the detailed theroy of a possible explaination above furthering my general understandings. Good questions: My OS is M.S. XP , yes I do read of Vista quirks but that does not apply here. I use M.S. XP WMP rip to lossless VBR in their preferances. No other transcoding apps... I will now run a hardware check on the disks to check there are no read errors on any part of the disk. Thank you for your time and suggestions. P.S. I was just now running SB3 analog outs eliminating the DAC from the equation (as suggested by the previous poster), and experienced the "Screech" event... I will proceed in tracking this down, pehaps it is a disk problem, I'll work on that possibility.
