Sound Problem
The pasient:
Intel Shrewsbury Mainboard G965
Intel Pentium D 915 2.8GHZ Dual Core
Corsair XMS TwinX 2 x 512mb DDR2-667
Gigabyte 300w PSU
Seagate 80G SATA 7200rpm 8mb Cache
Liteon 18x DVD Super-all-write Lightscribe
Windows XP pro SP2
The problem:
Everything works nice,
till you try and use the DVD writer and listen to a CD or look at DVD,
the sound is bad, it's sounds like a scratched CD or problem with codec file.
then you rip the same song or CD to the HDD,
and listen to it, and it's 100% OKEY
Looking at DVD, the image is perfect, but sound stutters and also scratchy,
rip it to HDD and all problems go away
What I tried:
1. swap the DVD writer with plain A-Open CD rom,
same problem as before
2. swap the DVD writer with a LG DVD witer
same problem as before
3. Swap the IDE cable
same problem as before
4. Removed the sound driver and reinstalled it
same problem as before
5. Did a windows repair from install CD
same problem as before

pasient? I thought it was patient?
Have you tried using a codec pack? And I take it the sound card is the Intel high definition sound card? If not what make could it be? Have you tried using an external sound card?

Yes it's Intel High Definition sound card
but show that the sound device is SIGMATEL audio
This PC is not more that 2months old,
will try and get a sound card to check,
but why is sound great when not playing from DVD writer?
sound in games and everything else is 100%
a weird thing just happened,
while listening to a CD on the rom,
and getting the same scratching noise
I started ripping another song of the CD
and the the song that was playing went from bad to worse,
it's kinda slowed downed and noise got worse too
It was like the CPU was at full load,
so I checked the CPU in PREFORMANCE tab of the Windows task manager,
and both cores was not even reaching 14% usage

have you checked what transfer mode the drive is using? DMA or PIO?
Or you could install ASPI drivers this might help your problem might not.
Have you tried updating the chipset drivers?

go to device manager --> "ide/atapi controllers" --> expand the field then double click on the expanded one and you should see different settings, one of them being transfer mode.

after expanding the field I have 9 entries,Anakha56 wrote:go to device manager --> "ide/atapi controllers" --> expand the field then double click on the expanded one and you should see different settings, one of them being transfer mode.
which includes:
3 Primary IDE
and 3 Secondary IDE Channel
If I go with the first Primary IDE in the list,
the Transfer mode is :"DMA is available"
and current transfer mode used is : "ULTRA DMA Mode 6"

are your sata drives being masked as IDE by any chance? If you go through the rest of them are there any others that say something similar? If nothing is connected it just says device not connected...

Iceblade, I had the same prob a few months back. Basically, if your drive has a few CRC errors in a row, then windows reverts the drive to PIO mode (which is not fast enough for DVD viewing, etc). Thing is, windows forgets to switch back to DMA when you change the disc. There's an update or patch that's supposed to fix it, can't remember where it is now. But I'm 90% sure that it's your optical drive in PIO mode.
EDIT : Sorry, didn't see Anakha's post above...ONly read the first page...SO now I'm 100% sure

This Intel mainboard doesn't even have a option for doing thatfiber-optics wrote:did you try connecting the audio cable that is need from the dvd writer to the mobo ???
I Installed a A-Open 5.1 sound card and connected the audio cable to the sound card and dissabled the onboard sound,
then everything works,
CD's and DVD's through the same ROM
removed the soundcard,
installed the Intel one again,
and problem returned
Things is this is not my PC,
helping someone,
and installing soundcard is not really fixing the problem
Will try the DMA setting

and the PC with the problem is not my PC.
But I tried the DMA setting
then it was like this after a reboot:
third Primary IDE Channel :
Device 0
Transfer Mode : DMA if available
Current Transfer mode : PIO Mode
Device 1
Transfer Mode : DMA if available
Current Transfer mode : Not Applicable
then I disabled the 3rd primary IDE and then the PC had no sound
I then uninstalled every primary IDE
and rebooted the PC
it found it's own drivers and installed without even asking me for anything,
and now:
third Primary IDE Channel :
Device 0
Transfer Mode : DMA if available
Current Transfer mode : Ultra DMA Mode 4
Device 1
Transfer Mode : DMA if available
Current Transfer mode : Not Applicable
and it's working like it should,
but how do I stop Windows from setting it again????

so ice everytime you reboot windows is changing the settings to PIO? I'm glad to see that is was the DMA vs PIO settings...
