Frequently I am getting what sound like a skip in the sound whether it's while I'm playing a game, listening to music from a disc or mp3's loaded onto my hard drive. This is starting to piss me off. I put a new Maxtor 160 gb hard drive in over the weekend and also hooked up new Logitech z-680's. This problem had never happened until now. Am I getting interference from the hard drive or from something else. I tried a different sound card, I've plugged the speakers into an outlet that is away from the computer.
In the device manager I opened up the Primary IDE Channel which gives me two selections Device 0 and Device 1. Under device 0 it says Device Type = Auto,
Device Mode = DMA if Available and Current Transfer Rate = Not Applicable.
When I open up the Seconday IDE Channel in the Device Manager it gives me the same options for Device 0 and Device 1 which will not let me change the Device Type, Device Mode = DMA if Applicable and Current Transfer Rate = Ultra DMA Mode 2. I also noticed that when I was printing or the CD-Rom is active the "skipping" or interference in the sound got worse and more frequent. Can someone help!:|
