    Heavy disk activity causes "noise" in sound playback and dropped frames in Premiere

    Before I switched over to RAID 0, I began noticing the "noise" during rare occurances and it was nothing that really bothered me because it was honestly maybe once a month that I noticed it and I could never purposefully reproduce the problem. When I added a second HDD and switched over to RAID...

    Heavy disk activity causes "noise" in sound playback and dropped frames in Premiere

    The PCI latency that I adjusted was in the BIOS for the ASUS board. It appeared to just apply to the entire bus. Other than that, I can't find any other adjustments in the BIOS or software-based solutions.

    Heavy disk activity causes "noise" in sound playback and dropped frames in Premiere

    I have a very odd problem that I'm practically tearing my hair out over. Whenever there is heavy disk access (such as a huge file transfer or defrag) on ANY of my drives, OR I'm doing something resource intensive such as editing/capturing video in Premiere Pro, I get very odd...
