Audio "Catching/Pausing" ??
Hello,
I have Inspioron 6400:
- 2gb 667mhz RAM
- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 ghz
- 250 gb Toshiba SATA II
- Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
My audio randomly "catches", it doesn't freeze up, it isn't a huge deal, but it is very annoying. I am not sure why it is doing it. I saw some people refer to Wireless cards not being sheilded, so I shut my wireless off, and it seems to do it less, but seems to still do it.
I just reinstalled the OS, and put SP1 on it. I did it to help system performance, but it seems like some other stuff has come up :(.
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Bryan

Yes, the problem is that the faulty firmware interupts audio while checking for a cd in the drive, but if a music cd is in the drive the interuptions cease. The specic drive and faulty firmware version:
TSST TS-L462C 24x slim combo Cd rom/burner
firmware revision DE07

Bryan,
the only troubleshooting idea I can think of is to put a regular Redbook music cd in the drive (not a data cd of mp3's, wma's, itunes or other data). Keep the wireless off. If the problem stops happening this indicates a fault in the cd drive's firmware.
