Improving performance with digital audio
Improving audio performance
To disable the hardware acceleration on your graphics card: Launch Control panel (
Start >
Settings > Control panel
). Double-click the
Display
icon. Select the
Settings
tab. Click on the
Advanced Properties
button. Select the
Performance
tab. Move the slider for
Hardware
Acceleration
one notch at a time toward ‘none’ and re-test your recording/playback after each
such adjustment. If problem(s) persist, leave the slider at ‘none’ and proceed with the next step.
• Try Using the Windows driver for your specific sound card (instead of the manufacturer's driver).
• Try using the standard VGA/SVGA drivers provided with Windows (instead of the drivers provided
by the manufacturer).
• Check your video card manufacturer's web site for a later driver version. If a newer driver is
available, download it and install it on your computer following the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you have an STB Velocity 128 card, and your graphics card was configured and shipped
with a new computer, you may want to check the computer vendor’s Web site (instead of
STB’s site) to see if they offer a driver update for the STB card. Computer vendors often will
customize drivers to their specific needs and you should use their driver updates.
• Try reducing the number of colors used by your video card. 16-, 24-, or 32-bit true color display
settings can severely hamper real-time audio performance on some computers; using fewer
colors allows your computer to spend more of its processing time on audio and MIDI.
You can adjust color depth by right-clicking on your Windows desktop, clicking
Properties
,
clicking on the
Settings
tab, and selecting a suitable entry in the
Colors
list. Also, try reducing
the display resolution. Re-test your audio playback/recording with these changes.
• If you have one of the following specific video cards, applying the following card-specific .ini file
settings can reduce PCI bus contention problems. Be sure to check out
Support/Docs/VideocardTips.html
for more information about these and other popular video
cards:
• If you have a Hercules Dynamite 128 card:
Open the
System.ini
file in Notepad (or any text editor). In the section called

,
check to ensure that this line is present:
Optimization=1
(The default is 0; if necessary, edit the value to 1 and save the file. Restart Windows.
• If you have a Matrox Millenium card:
Open the
System.ini
file in Notepad (or any text editor). In the section called
[mga.drv]
,
add the following line:
Pcichipset=1
Edit the file as necessary, and save the file. Restart Windows.
If you have an early Matrox video card, Disable Use PowerGDI acceleration:
(
Start > Settings > Control panel > Display > MGA Settings > Advanced > Performance
)
If you have a later Matrox video card, enable Use Bus Mastering and Disable use Automatic
PCI Busd Retries:
(
Start > Settings > Control panel > Display > Settings > PowerDesk button
)
