HP BIOS settings

Sleep mode settings
Many new HP systems (workstations and business PCs alike) are shipping with a
BIOS setting that interferes with proper operation of Aurora Edit LD/HD/HDR.
The symptoms include dropped frames, stuttering audio and/or video during
playback, and numerous entries in the event log with the message "Warning: Audio
Capture (vbrAudioCapture2) buffer over
fl
owed; resetting." The BIOS on these
systems is set to allow the CPUs to aggressively enter low power sleep mode. While
this saves energy, it also prevents the system from responding to critical events in
a timely manner. CPUs that are in low power sleep mode take time to exit sleep
mode, and that time delay is the source of the problem.
To resolve the problem:
1. Turn on the system and press
F10
to enter the BIOS setup.
2. Select
Power | OS Power Management
and press
Enter
.
3. Select
Idle Power Savings
and change it from to
Normal
.
4. Press
F10
to accept.
5. Select
File | Save changes
and press
Enter
.
6. Press
F10
to accept. The system will restart.
At this time it is not known whether Dell systems have a similar setting.
