I've been out of town (away from the Libretto) for most of the summer, and posted this question without rechecking the problem. While there are occasional dropouts (sounds like a light scratch on a vinyl record), these occur infrequently and not always in association with hard drive activity. It is less of a problem than I imagined it to be, but I'm curious about the cause. System Resources show 94% after a fresh boot, so no problem there. I have the "hairy" light bulb, speaker, and PCMCIA monitor on the system tray. I'm running W98se with 64MB RAM. What I have noticed, in addition to the occasional "dropouts", is background noise very much like tape hiss. This is through headphones. Any way to reduce that? And Raymond, how do I change the buffer size? Thanks for any suggestions.
