Hey Frenz...... :)

My new prob :mad: is tht when I play VCD's or ne CD's in my disk crive ( Samsung CD RW -- I know Samsung is crap :ashamed: ) , or when I play certain games , like Fifa 2004 using ne Virtual Cd softwares , or the new demo of UEFA Champoins league my sound gets distorterd or sounds like an old tape recorder tht sounds distorted whn u switch on a mixi !!!! :S

My speakers r fine I guess coz I connect them to my portable cd man and its as gud as its supposed to be ....

So do u think its my onboard sound card trouble ( Asus A7N8X-X with raltek AC 97 ) or just case a of bad cd drive .... but it happens ehn I load virtual cd of fifa 2004 too ....

:huh: :huh:

PLZ HELP !!!!

Tnx in advance ....

well...try enabling DMA for ur CD writer...in Device Manager, ctrl panel.....

this normally happens in PIO mode, where the processor processes the data copied from the CD to HDD, thus it'll be slower in games...

okay...u uing WinXP or 98???

here's wht u do :

1. on the desktop, press win key + pause/break (above page up)
2. Gotot hardware, Device Manager.
3. select IDE/ATA/ATAPI Controllers....
4. Look for ur CD ROM drive in the Primary and Secondary Tabs.
5. If the transfer mode is PIO, then change it into DMA.

thats it.
