desynch during DVD playback
I have a Liteon DVD/CD-RW combo drive, and when I play DVDs, I can only
go about 5 minutes before I get desynch between video and audio, or sometimes bad choppiness in the audio. I haven't had this problem on any of my other computers except an old iMac which was one of the first Macs to ship with a DVD drive. I am running XP home using an Abit NF7-S mobo with on-baord audio.

some onboard audios chips are very CPU intensive since a lot of the "work"
is driver related and not onboard processing by the audio chip. it could be that your system is experiencing something along those lines. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 130,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "David Besack" wrote in message ...

Well I answered my own question... I found that there was a newer
firmware for my drive. After update, the desynch no longer happens. Heh, I had no idea something as simple as an optical drive had firmware

Heh, I had no idea something as simple as an optical drive had firmware That was going to be my first suggestion :-D Other suggestions would have been bad ide cable, making sure DMA was turned on for the drive, chipset drivers (if applicable), directx, audio drivers. -GV
