X1000 sound question [SOLVED]

A question for First Contact X1000 users with the supplied sound card.

Does your sound system still make a popping sound when starting CDplay or
other sound streams after the recent update?

Which update are you refering to, as I setup the FC systems.
As far as I was aware, there is only update 5.

The sb600 PATA and serial drivers. (The only update I know of.)

I think I have heard some oddball sounds when launching TubeNet and trying to play a CD. I forget the name if the CD app as I am not home. Sound something app with GUI that plays CDs.

In order to play CDs, you have to use PlayCDDA which is on OS4Depot.

PlayCD in the Utilities drawer works just fine IF in it's Icon Information DOSDEV=CDx and USEAHI are active (no parentheses).

And a question for the Mucka-mucks. DEVICE=sb500sata.device(?) What's up with that?
Does it make a difference as far as system use, load, etc. which option is used?
(Don't hold back now......spill the beans.) :?

Hi mechanic. I've never had any issues with the X1000 sound. I've updated too - but the sound is as good as it has always been.

Thank you, Sam

That's all I needed to know. Case Closed.

I also hear a very short, painful "spftt!" when any sound first starts up. This was with DVD, tunenet, and playCD (with parentheses around UseAHI removed). I can't see that looking back over the posts here that any of the advice stops the pop!

Any other suggestions?

Apologies Mechanic. I haven't used my X1000 for some time - although I had a quick go when the update came out - but just using it most of the afternoon today and there is indeed a sound exactly like ggw says. It only happens on first go with using something like TuneNet. Doesn't seem to happen when using euae though.

Sorry I didn't notice it before. It's not a major issue for me though.
