hello i use several methods for burning dvds, and each piece of software i use makes the sound choppy when i burn a dvd, its very distracting and downgrading for me since its such a good pc
i was told its 'cause of “device interupting” or somet.. any ideas how to prevent it, ive tried reducing the priority
are you complainging that music doesnt play smoothly while your burning dvd’s?
would you rather have smooth music or working dvd’s?
i bought a fast pc to deal with anything, the cpu load is <20% when burning, so i dont expect this to be happening, i want what i paid for its a good job i dont burn for a living or im gonna have to buy an mp3 player
I’d say the PCs okay - even at 80% load my humble machine plays the music no matter what I’m doing.
Although, I do have experienced some lags, temporary halts of sound.
Therefore…
The thing about Device Interupting is pretty much the closest thing I can imagine to be the cause of this. It’s your machines physical architecture which makes it go like that. Check out this article. 
so its a crappy compatibility issue arrangement of my mobo, ram, cpu and possibly gpu thats causin it

Well, yeah, you could express it like that. Of course, you can try out a non-embedded audio card (the IRQ of external cards (like PCI) is different from your embedded one, so maybe… - but can’t guarantee nothing); all in all said - the problem won’t persist if you’re really lucky. As said before - it’s a architecture issue. :dry:
Although, if you find a solution - let me know! 
problem solved, dvd is now spinnin like crazy went from 14% - 58% in about 5 mins of a final 2gb write, i did 2 things swapped the ide cable from 40-pin to 80 pin IDE0 and turned on the second IDE hdd which was turned off and unpartitioned it was in a caddy.
cpu 0% write, awsome mp3s and videos hunky dory i was sooo close to buying a new dvd drive
most likely a fault wiv the ide cable or setup on IDE1, certinally not architecture, i didnt think it was
thanks for your help guys
