Hi,
As this is my first post on the forum, I will first introduce myself :
My name is François, I am 33 and I am from France. I am a Mac fan since I'm a kid and I have a small collection of macs including 68Ks, PPCs (old / new) and an Intel mac.
There is one mac that I still use almost everyday which is a 9500/132 Upgraded with a G4 700MHz card, a SATA controller running a 60GB SSD drive and 576MB of interleaved RAM. This mac can boot 7.6.1, 9.1 and 10.4.11
I mainly use 7.6.1 because it is extremely fast on this machine and has the applications I need. The system is installed on an internal SCSI drive and I store files on the SSD drive.
The thing is that I have problems with sound when playing MP3s or videos when stored on my SATA drive. On the video, the image is really smooth (even in DV format 720x576 @ 25fps) but the sound doesn't work well at all. MP3's are also not playing well from the SSD. No problem at all when stored on the SCSI drive though.
I first thought that the problem was due to the slow bus on that machine, but I have a partition with OS X on the SSD and with MPlayer I can play an .avi DivX with no problem at all (video + sound). However I cannot play any MP3 from tiger (even with MPlayer).
I think this is strange... isn't the DivX requiring more resources than the MP3?
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thanks a lot for your help!
