I'm running ProTools LE7 with an MBox 2.
In response to your questions, yes, at first I had no trouble at all playing back and bouncing out tracks in ProTools. However, I had not tried recording at this point, so I'm not sure what would've happened had I done so. It wasn't until I attempted to record the electronic drums that I encountered this error after just a couple seconds of successful recording:
"The operating system held off interrupts for too long. If this occurs often, try increasing the 'H/W Buffer Size' in the Playback Engine Dialog. (-9093)"
Afterwards this is the only response I receive when trying to play back OR record (at most ProTools will play back for a few seconds before erroring out again). As you might expect, raising the buffer size simply gives me this error:
"Audio processing is conflicting with other CPU tasks. If this occurs often, reducing the 'H/W Buffer Size' in the Playback Engine Dialog may help prevent the problem. (-9129)."
I have visited the Digidesign help site as well as some other forums and tried the following potential fixes:
- Disabling ClearType Font Smoothing
- Updating the Intel Ultra ATA storage controller to the Standard Dual PCI IDE controller.
- Setting the drive to operate in DMA mode when available.
- Creating a new hardware profile.
- Disabling device drivers.
None of these seemed to help at all.
Thanks,
-James
