Peoblems with Mia!

[mace]

Yes, Guys, I have problems with
Echo Mia in Sonar 2, softsynths are glitching etc.
I checked my IRQ's and result was damned;
Mia is sharing IRQ 11 with Matrox G200 graphics
controller and HP-370 raid controller!
What should I do ?

My PC is ACPI not standard!
Would it help to change it to Standard PC?
Changing PCI slot to other?
How to force Mia to any other IRQ?

By the way, I have Epox 8K7A+ mobo(AMD760/761chipset) with 4 IDES,
not using any RAID, bur using HP 370 ide controller to share my 3 HD's to different
IDE(all primary) slots

First of all, I would suggest to put your soundcard to PCI as far as you can to the AGP card. Having it's own IRQ is the best way to avoiding problems, and the simplest way is to move the confilcted card to another PCI slot. Now, take your MIA, and put it on another available PCI slot. Then, go www.musicxp.net to read bunch of tweaking advice for WinXP doing audio work. Then again, in SONAR, go Options --> Global --> MIDI tab, and raise the playback buffer to some extreme value (eg. 1000 or 2000)
After all is done, you still need to order Homerecording.Comp CD's Vol II. Go www.homerecording.com/compcd
There you go, system running smooth like a but of baby

Hope it helps,
Kiitos, moi moi.

If you're using Windows XP, then I would highly recommend ACPI. If you're using Windows 2000, then it might help to turn ACPI off.
