USB device glitch/slow down in Vista 64bit
Posted by admin on Jan 16th, 2007
Is anyone else having issues with Vista and USB devices? I have a Stello DA100 DAC and use foobar for playback. After listening a while the playback starts to glitch and I get a fairly annoying pop/crackle maybe once a minute or so.Also my mouse cursor seems to stop/jump for a split second at the same time with the audio glitch.This box has 2GB RAM and an experience rating of 5.1 (CPU being the slowest) so it shouldn't be a system resource thing.The same setup works in XP without any annoying glitches, no matter if I'm defragging and encoding a movie or two at the same time.

Ok, it's not just USB, for example while defragging or doing something other heavy i/o tasks even audio through Xfi starts to glitch with the same mouse lag/jump as mentioned above.
