Suggestions for Improving TRIP Audio on Your Computer

From the Omni VII Yahoo! Group - August 17, 2008

Here are some things to try to make sure your PC is not the issue.

• Disable your anti-virus program.
• Make sure your hard disk is not using disk compression. If it is, you will have issues.
• Turn off your system restore. Windows is constantly indexing any changes you make.
• From the command command line, type msconfig. It will list things that you can turn off at start up.
• Make sure you uninstall ANY browser helpers, Google Toolbar, Weather Channel updater, Weatherbug, etc.
• Run ADAWAR to make sure you don't have any spyware banging your browser. Spyware can bog down the whole system.
• Sharing any peripherals? That will also slow things down. Are you using internet sharing? That's a real big one to slow your

system down.

• Check your NIC advanced properties. Disable QS protocol (Quality of Service). Disable Wake on LAN. Disable power saving on any ports. Yep, it's another process that is running to see if a USB port or anything else is

idle or being used.

• Go to control panel and see what software is installed that you may not need.
• Make sure you have the latest driver for your NIC (that's why they keep making new versions…)
• Don't use Vista unless your computer was designed for it and you have MORE than the minimum memory requirements.
• Disable Updater software. HP has one that sits in the system tray. Java, Active-x, even Adobe Reader has one. These are always

checking for updates at random times while you are online.

It's like driving a car. They just build them, it's up to yo to maintain and drive it. Having said that, my money is on computer issues and not the rig.
