First of all, just want to say this forum as been a great help, and fun too!

My system is:
Aopen MX3WPro motherboard(intel 810 chipset)
Pentium 3 850mhz
256mb sdram
Primary hd:Fujitsu mpc3102at 10.24gb,5400rpm, c: and d: partitions, master on primary
ide bus.
Secondary hd:Maxtor 20gb, 7200rpm,e: partition, master on secondary ide bus
acer standard udma33 CDrom, slave on primary ide bus.
AGP video on-board.
On-board ac'97 sound is disabled in BIOS.
Tascam US-428 with cubasis(I am expecting my Cubase VST/32 in a couple of days)

My problem: When playing an audio CD in my CD-rom(using Winamp, or Windows Media Player),
sound is choppy, unlistenable, kind of like the disk is skipping, or there is a delay. Or else, I
get a stop error BSOD, with a reference to uhCD.sys(sorry I don't have the exact message,
I didn't write it down).
I checked the IRQ allocation, and there don't seem to be any conflicts, and I have nothing
else on my usb port.
I noticed when I change the latency in the US-428 control panel(increase it) it gets worse.
The CD-rom works otherwise, program installation, even games work.
I can also copy a CD to the harddrive and play it that way.
I want to add a CD burner to my system, but I don't know if this problem will affect disk copying.
I hope I include all the main info, if anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate it in advance.
Thanks, leeward
