I get clicks when I source my WAVE material from my computer’s hard drive.
•
If Windows detects several hard disk read errors in a row, it will automatically set
the hard disk data transfer mode, usually DMA, to PIO. This can cause clicks in
the OPTIMOD-PC audio if the hard drive is sourcing the WAVE material driving
OPTIMOD-PC. See
I Get Clicks When I Source My WAVE Material from a CD

Note that Windows’ automatically setting the HD data transfer mode to PIO can
be an early warning of impending hard disk failure. It is wise to search the Win-

threads that maintain audio continuity through the Windows WAVE mechanism.
RFI, hum, clicks, or buzzes
•
An unused input has not been muted in the I/O Mixer and is picking up noise.
•
A grounding problem is possible. Review the information on grounding on page
2-19.
•
OPTIMOD-PC has been designed with substantial RFI suppression on its analog
and digital input and output ports. It will usually operate adjacent to high-
powered transmitters without difficulty. In the most unusual circumstances, it
may be necessary to reposition the host computer to reduce RF interference,
