(-9129) error using athlon

I am a new user, and have not yet had it work. When I try to play the demo, or try to record a track I get error, "Audio processing is conflicting with other CPU tasks. If this occurs often, try reducing the HW buffer size in the hardware set-up panel. (-9129)" If I decrease HW buffer size, I get an error saying to increase buffer size. Any tips would be helpful!

Could you please list your computer setup in detail, otherwise we will be shooting in the dark. =) Christian

Fair enough you may have problems with the athlon system, but you will probly have problems getting a P3 or p4 system up too. If the problem you are having isnt a result of the athlon motherboard you are using more then likely if you switch out your mobo and processor you will have the exact same problem on a p3 or p4 system. There does seem to be problems with a few athlon boards not cooperating, and with some athlon overheating problems, but at least try out your system to find out if the problem you are having has already been solved. Then i should be an easy fix. i have not had any problems with my athlon system since i got it running, and i was one of the first to go out and buy my current setup. Once I made that single change to my bios which i figured out without any help i have not had a single problem whatsoever. I think that by telling somebody that if they go with a pentium setup their problems will go away is kinda far fetched. i will tell you this, you get your athlon system going, it will kick any other pentium based system rear on this board =), and it will be totally worth it.

Ric, Switch to the MS HD controller for the primary and secondary (if you have two drives). Heath End Sanity

At this point, I am using only one drive. It is 30 gig 7200rpm. Is this my problem?

Thanks to everyone that gave me help. I found that i did not have my IDE drive set to "DMA". Rick
