external HD

Thanks guys, appreciate your help. I did end up having to revert back to 3.4 anyway, i was having a lot of split second audio drops, just enough for everyone to raise an eyebrow at me. So I have since updated my video drivers and my sound card drivers. hopefully that works. Since the updates though evertime I boot-up my computer I receive a message "TBIA This operation returned because the timeout period expired". I do not know what that means, I will be doing a test run tonight to see how things work.

Are you by chance running a DJ program also? Possibly a USB sound card? It's sounds to me like an audio conflict. I don't think it is MTU. I think I remember reading about Torq DJ software and this error. You might try disabling your DJ software and trying it then.

if your laptop/pc has a windows xp media center, any m-audio torq software/hardware will not work, due to hardware/driver compatibility,i bought one a while back , and i wasnt told or the sales people at .......center doesnt know.

is this something new with 4.03, because i have been using a external sound card for quite a while now (M-Audio Audiophile USB) and haven't had any problems and didn't have any problems when I reverted back to 3.4, just the split second audio drops in 4.3.

Are you using a notebook? Does it have a speedstep CPU? (most do)

Try turning off the speedstep. It is in your bios under the power tab labled EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep) Set to disabled. The M-Audio software AND hardware has trouble playing in the same sandbox with speedstep. My guess is you probably crossed some kind of threshhold when you made some system changes.

no, i am using a pc built by MTU. I talked to my friend about unzipping his songs. He doesnt have a problem with that, its just that niether of us kno how to do it. We tried using the microsoft unzip program, but that only does one song at a time (He has a ton of music, 20 years worth) and not all songs are able to be recocnized by microsoft program. this really is a bummer, i never had any problems with the mp3g button.

Look around on the internet for a free zip/unzip utility. If you can't find or don't want to, check out my post for Big John.
Just a work around if you don't figure it out
Big John, I don't know your setup but I will...

Hey Scott,
MTU has a great file conterter program called "Songverter" that will do what you need.

Just convert them to your choice of format that Hoster 4 accepts.



There is also a free one available but I only used it once so I'm not sure it will do what you need, you can check it out.
