— WinModems and network cards —
In general, few problems are caused by modems installed in computer
audio systems. However, some people occasionally encounter
problems with "WinModem" devices. These modems are usually less
expensive than standard modems, but they can consume CPU power,
sometimes to the detriment of the digital audio program you're trying
to run simultaneously.
If you have a WinModem, and you suspect that it's causing problems,
you can either power down and remove it temporarily), or disable it in
the Device Manager (Start
Device Manager g Modems, then choose "Disable in this hardware
profile").
Audio problems are rarely attributed to a network card, but if you're
suspicious that your network card is causing glitches, you can
temporarily disable it in the Device Manager.
— CD-ROM auto-insert notification —
Your CPU may be frequently checking the CD-ROM or DVD drive to
determine whether a disk has been inserted. This behavior can easily
disrupt your audio, usually on a periodic basis (at intervals of several
seconds).
See "Tuning the System" later in this Guide for details about disabling
auto-insert notification. If you ever re-install Windows on your system,
check the auto-insert setting again, because it can be automatically
enabled when Windows is installed.
