The noise is similar to a scratching record that interrupts the music. It definitely does flow through the speakers and is not coming from the actual pc, although I do plan to investigate the suggestions for minimizing rfi. Also it's very random. Sometimes the noise begins as soon as I start playing a track and other times it will start after one or two minutes into the track.
I did discover one thing though:
I copied some music to my new drive to play and figured out that the problem was only occuring when I used asio output, which I kept up to date from downloading the exe at http://otachan.com/. I can check if the dll version or older versions that I've saved also cause the problem. Using Wav didn't have the problem, but i think asio sounds better. SRC upsampler at 44.1 and 96 both had the problem.Here are the other settings I use that sound better to my ears but may cause the system to choke on the data transfer from the new drive somehow:
In the task manager I like to set the processs proirity to Realtime for digi96.exe, foobar2000.exe, and the asio(exe).
I have the buffer length maxed out in the asio output and set the Playback buffer to 15000KB. I don't know if these options help or hurt, and the last one may not be necessary.
I can check the hardware connections this weekend, but I'm thinking that I'm taxing the system resources in a way that is too taxing on the data transfer of the drive. I have 1 gig of memory and may try to double that. Any thoughts? Can anyone try and duplicate my settings and see if they run into this issue?
