Re: Solved??? Re: playing mp3s and burning a cd
If you have a 1.0GHz Durn processor, theoretically you should be able to burn that CD at 32X (burner permitting), have 10+ Mozilla windows open, all without a skip in the playback, or boggage. I have an AMD K6-2 450, and I currently can't do 1/4 the stuff simultaneously without music skipping as I could in other, anonymous operaing systems. Also, a simple ogg123 off of the commandline skips a little as well, when untaring something. -Craig From: The Anarcat [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon Mar 24, 2003 at 02:14:48PM -0500, Don wrote: Should a PR be filed or some QA team contacted to make sure this problem doesn't stay alive in 5.2? :) This isn't, by chance, a problem with your setting for the sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma is it?

Anytime you have odd system problems like that give sysctl -a a perusal. Sometimes you will be surprised at what you find. There was definitely a reason for turning off DMA access for atapi devices by default, I just can not remember why. I'm sure this issue and the reason were mentioned on the list already.

You can do that without problems, just don't use them at the same time, since they're both using the same underlying hardware. You can tell what speed the drive is running by either looking at the transfer rate the cd(4) drive reports, or looking at the dmesg information for the acd driver. e.g.: acd0: DVD-R SONY DVD RW DRU-500A at ata0-master UDMA33 The UDMA33 tag at the end means that it's running at 33MB/sec, which is what the cd(4) driver confirms: cd1 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd1: SONY DVD RW DRU-500A 1.0c Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd1: 33.000MB/s transfers cd1: cd present [306511 x 2048 byte records] PS: what's the proper way to enable ATAPI DMA in the loader.conf file?
