When I'm burning a disk of any kind, I cant play music or video with out it being slow and horrible

I've just upgraded my PC (XP) to a new sound card, PCI ESI MAYA44.

When I'm burning a disk of any kind, I cant play music or video with out it being slow and horrible. like timestretched and glitchy.

--Kind of CPU overload -

Its a real pain.

What might i try to stop this?

I have latest driver etc.
my sound card before didn't do this

Can anyone help?

Really, you shouldn't be doing anything while burning a disc. Whatever you are burning, at the time of the slowdown, must be CPU intensive. Encoding a video disc comes to mind.

 

thanks for the input, sound advice, but doesn't help any, and you must appreciate that. cheers anyway

its never been a problem on 10,0000 burns on my last Terratec audio card.

back to the problem

Why might burning a CD or DVD reader the sound/video on my computer useless?

IRC conflicts? I chose a good PCI slot. unshared
IDE conflicts? I have SATA drives 2. but an IDE burner (i could swap the IDE to the second one)

see........ that kind of input dude .... 'there no such thing as a stupid question' idea....

Anyone

I managed to solve the problem with a kind of work around

I increased the buffer size of the audio card through the control panel

 

I quit caring, after your 2nd post. :wink:
