Is Audio Glitch a Graphics problem or Hard disk

Ok so Everything is running smoothly but if I open a folder to look for a file while Cubase is running I get a slight glitch.

I think it goes when ULLI is slightly lowered but was wondering what the true causes of the problem is.

I have indexing turned off.Just feel that the hard disk is being accessed when I switch programs but it could also be the graphics card refreshing?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes I've done all those tweaks thanks.

Everything is ok until I push slightly and I know there's just that niggle but I don't know if it is really a graphics problem.

When ULLI is lowered (low latency) the cpu use rises because the cpu is being "interrupted" more frequently to service the audio card's IRQ for the ASIO buffer. An Interrupt ReQuest can have issues if something else isn't being cooperative. I think I'd look first at a possible shared IRQ (with the graphics card) and then second at using DoubleDawg to set its PCI latency to 128 (or even 64) while doing audio related work.

if that doesn't work then dig deeper, but I suspect it will. Also by turning off unnecessary effects stardust means drop shadows under menus and the mouse pointer, slide in/out type effects for menus, and possibly even 'show window contents while dragging'.

Hi,

Got this graphic glitch problem today!

I removed AdobeR (an automatic startup process) ... and gone.
(HKLM/microsoft/window/current/run key in your registry)

Apparently this process installed by the Adobe reader on scope CD was doing some background activity on my USB backup disk (which explain I didn't had it before)

cheers

Michel

If you ever need to read a PDF file get foxit reader. it loads about 10 times faster and does not leave crap running in the background.

Now i cant even put photoshop on my scope machine because it has so much background crap. i have to run to another machine to make graphics for "things"
