Adaptec Videoh PCI causing some conflict

[pakman9]

I hope someone can help me with this. I was trying to do capture with my video card (Asus 8200), but the quality was not up to what I wanted, so I bought an Adaptec Videoh PCI. Plugging this in was fine and drivers were installed correctly. However, I soon noticed that my audio was stuttering and skipping (i.e. just playing a song from my harddrive). thinking it was a driver issue, I updated all the drivers that I could and even disabled the video capture on my video card, but it still stutters.

Putting this aside for a bit, I decided to capture some video so that I can look at the quality and decide to work on this some more. Captured about 30 min of video and was pretty happy with the results (as good as VHS quality which was fine considering the source was analog). During the capture though, the audio and the video were still stuttering and skipping. However, the burned DVD looked great....

So, now, I am back to getting rid of the stuttering... I updated all the drivers I could find. Upgraded to WinXP-sp1, updated MyDVD software, diabled my video capture portion of the video card, and still have stuttering on my audio.

I did notice that my Video card and the Adaptec card both share the same IRQ, but don't seem to be able in XP to change the resource. I'm about ready to try putting this thing into different PCI slots... but not sure if that should effect anything....

Any ideas???

ok... you guys aren't going to believe this.... I noticed finally that the stuttering was happening after I logged fully into windows. i.e. the windows login music was not stuttering... hum... sounds like some startup thing. So, I started going through and disabled some services that I didn't recognize.. and lo and behold... it was my Cannon multipass server. I had disconnected the parallel cable while I installed everything and didn't put it back, so I guess it was constantly looking for the printer/fax. Go figure... 2 nights of pulling my hair out and all I had to do was finish putting my computer back together....
