1) Background: EZ-BIOS 9.06W on L110 with 20GB HD. Problem: Audio recording glitches/problems show up as clicks, pops, and other very-short duration artifacts in the recorded sound files made by CoolEdit and Soundforge from both the internal and TDK sound cards. Occurs randomly but frequently enough to appear many times in a one minute recording. Possible solution: Launch the EZ-Drive setup program and turn off both 32-bit drive access and multi-word writes. Apparent outcome: After trying several 1 minute recordings off various CD sources, the audio recording problem appears to be fixed. Won't know until extended testing is made later, but it seems like either one or both of the settings (32-bit access & multi-word writes) in EZ-BIOS causes enough backlog in RAM to occur that writes to the disk are delayed just long enough to prevent PCI bus access by the audio subsystem, resulting in glitches and pops. Disabling both results in more immediate writes of a shorter amount of data to the HD, thus reducing and/or resolving the audio recording problem. --- 2) still in the works, but thinking of an october trip to Japan. any Libretto owners in the area? would be interesting to see what Akihabara has to offer. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
