RE: USB audio drop outs on XP - every other track. Anyone?

Posted by Presto on July 1, 2008 at 23:52:09:

I am a clean freak. It was ACPI / IRQ conflicts!

I can now see why some guys have NO problems with USB and others have MEGA problems. Its because of XPs IRQ assigning process, and how it can assign multiple devices to the same interrupt. They may not "conflict" per se, but performance is affected severly for real time devices like audio. I don't think USB was really designed for clocked data...

Cheers,
Presto
