From another newsgroup
"pci-bus hogging... do a google search, its a hardware issue. i had this once even with running winamp, but only if i had network traffic. it turned out to be the nic not being able to do busmastering. let sandra check if all ur pci cards are able of busmastering" I'm working on it, i'll post my results "Matt" wrote in message news:NE5Pa.19205$GL4.5348@rwcrnsc53...

Your best bet might be to use the latest drivers posted on the mfg's website.... i.e. if it's a Gainward card, use Gainward's drivers. Mfg. drivers tend to be less "aggressive" than Nvidia reference drivers. "Folk" wrote in message .. .

really because i installed MSI drivers and i believe this is when I first
started having the problems. I think i'll go back to nvidia's drivers. "Folk" wrote in message ...

I had a stuttering problem with my SB Live! Value as well. The problem
seemed to occur when MIDI files were playing and Windows tried to play .WAV files (such as system event sounds). I have a high-end P4 system with 100% PCI (no ISA slots or legacy devices). I dual-boot both Win98SE and Windows 2000 Pro Workstation. The SB Live! Value stuttering was ONLY a problem with Windows 2000. I tried all of Creative Lab's suggestions - turn down audio accelleration, turn down video accelleration, upgrade to latest drivers, etc. None of those changes helped. It turned out, as many others here have suggested, that the problem was related to IRQ sharing - something that Windows forces by default when it detects a motherboard with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) BIOS. It forces all PCI cards, as well as the onboard USB controller(s) to share a single IRQ (usually IRQ 9). You can manually assign the IRQ's in the BIOS setup, but if Windows is running in ACPI mode, it completely ignores those IRQ settings. The only way to "fix" this on Windows 2000, is to change the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to "Standard PC". There are several ways to do this - the most painful being a complete Windows re-install, specifying "Standard PC". You can also switch the HAL by changing the PC type to "Standard PC" in the Device Manager - which will force Windows to re-detect all of the hardware. Once you switch to the "Standard PC" HAL, you can control the PCI slot's IRQ assignments manually in the BIOS setup. The disadvantage to disabling ACPI, is that you lose the power control features, like Windows ability to power-down your PC. The workaround to this, is installing the "NT APM/Legacy Support" driver, which uses APM rather than ACPI. When you do this, you must be sure to disable the hidden device called "Microsoft ACPI Driver", found by selecting "Show Hidden Devices" in the device manager. Another suggestion is to disable the SoundBlaster "Emulation", since it ties up a free IRQ. This driver only exists to provide backwards DOS-mode compatibility for older games / software. If you don't need it, turn it off! Creative Labs didn't do a very good job with the NT/Win2k/XP drivers for the SB Live!. They attempted to roll out SB Live! drivers that would provide "Audigy-like" features, but those drivers were a disaster under Win2k/WinXP. As a result, they switched back to specific SB Live! drivers for those OS's and abandoned future development of the SB Live! drivers. There are some newer 3rd party drivers out there for the SB Live! that claim to provide "Audigy-like" features, but after all the headaches, I've opted to stick with Creative's 1-2 year old "stable" drivers. I know that Compaq has also developed OEM SB-Live! drivers that I hear are better than Creative's drivers, but I'm not sure if the Compaq drivers will recognize retail SB-Live! cards (without manually manipulating the device signatures in the INF files). The Audigy 2 seems to be a much better card than the SB Live! - not only because of the new/improved hardware features/capabilities, but because Creative is still developing/improving the Audigy drivers. Hopefully, when Creative releases the successor to the Audigy, they won't abandon Audigy driver development, as they did with the Live! Series. "() ()" wrote in message ...
