#CD audio skips in Win3.1
Hi Sysop!
I hope you can help me with this. I've been struggling with this problem for
months now, and have not been able to resolve it.
I am using the following:
386/25 AT clone w/ COM1, COM2, LPT1
IDE interface to two floppies and two hard drives
Trantor T130 SCSI host adapter
Texel CD-ROM drive
Microsoft Mouse on COM1
Orchid ProDesigner II Super VGA card
When I use any Windows 3.1 application to play CD audio (the newest Music Box,
Microsoft Beethoven, etc) slight movements of my Microsoft mouse cause the CD
audio to skip! If I do this enough, it will eventually hard hang Windows 3.1.
If I don't touch the mouse, all works well.
What is going on here? I suspect an IRQ, I/O or memory conflict, but have
tried every trick in the book to test this. This includes removing every
unnecessary card from my system, excluding all upper memory usage by both
MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, and checking every piece of documentation I have to see
if I have a conflict. Thus far I have not been able to find any areas of
conflict.
Any ideas?
Sincerely,
James McDaniel
