James,
Would like to put your mind at ease on one thing. Hoster does not consume 100% CPU usage. Task manager may say it does, but it does not. Hoster PC requirements are 800MHZ.
When this first came up, MTU found that although the program APPEARS to use 100% of the processor, what in fact is happening is that it does not APPEAR to release what processor functions it does not need, when in fact it does release what it's not actually using.
Here's a simple way to prove it to yourself.
Open Hoster and start a track playing. Minimize Hoster, and double click the desktop shortcut and open Hoster again. Start another track playing. They will both be playing simultaneously. This obviously would be an impossibility if the programs were both demanding 100% of the CPU, because they are in fact running independantly of one another.
Hope this helps on that point.
Regarding the sound card, this may not be an answer, but have you tried reducing the sound card accellerator settings ?
Take care,
George
