I was reading a doc earlier about tweaking xp for music and it recommended disabling ACPI. I wonder what kind of problems might occur if the sound card doesn't work properly in ACPI?
I know that at the very least Windows will usually try to put all PCI devices on IRQ 9 when using ACPI which obviously isn't a good thing, but I wonder is there any other downside? I've tweaked my bios etc to make sure I don't have any irq sharing but I'm still running with ACPI, whats the advantage to disabling it? Surely as long as theres no irq issues and you aren't allowing Windows to randomly power off the sound card as it pleases there wouldn't be a problem? -dave -----Original Message----- From: alpher25 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 January 2003 06:14 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Sound cards m-audio works flawlessly with sxand xp in acpi mode. al -----Original Message----- From: * GARUDASOUL * [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 January 2003 15:16 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Sound cards I have a delta 410 and it has a similar breakout cable - the cables are only about 6-8 inches. The cables are females intended to be used with a patch cable into a mixer or what ever. I don't know my feeling on the maudio card cause I have some conflicting issues with it occasionally. It requires its own IRQ and that means setting the PCI slot in bios and setting W2k to standard PC mode in the PC hardware configuration. I've read on the support site that it you use XP you can use APIC and ACPI and not have IRQ sharing issues. http://www.musicxp.net/installing_tips.htm since i'm on 2000 until i get a new harddrive i can not vouch how that works. I can work with it on my 2000 machine yet if I load up allot of VSTs and stuff i get some drift after 30 seconds to a minute from the midi time code yet that may just be my PC choking on VST processing and not the card. When using pure audio and no vst effects i use all 8 outs in cubase and have little latency and no issues. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing my drift issues when they do happen. I'm hoping XP will help a bit. any XP / maudio / cubase sx users on here?
