Hey all. I thought I remembered a post on this, but my searches are
coming up short.

Has anyone seen the situation where Paris will _always_ be using 90%+ of
the CPU and machine is just a dog, even when not playing?

I'm not sure if it was something I installed earlier this year. I
haven't been able to use Paris the last couple of times I've needed it
so Garage Band and Vegas had to do in the pinch.

I think I may have an extra 20GB drive sitting around. I may just
reinstall a new WinXP and Paris minimals. However, I'd like to get this
drive working since it is my general multimedia setup.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi,
Are you using a matrox video card ?
I once had that with a faulty G550...
Regards,
Dimitrios

Rhode,

This sounds like an IRQ trainwreck. EDS card sharing with a graphics card is
bad, even if Windows says there is no problem. Windows lies........XP lies
especially.

Yeah, actually all the IRQ's look OK. Graphics card is GeForce 6600GT in
a nForce3-based motherboard. No ATI chips in sight.

I think I found the answer. I had installed the drivers for the UAD-1
card, but I had pulled out the card prior in order to do some debugging
and never put it back in.

When I uninstalled these drivers, everything seemed a bit happier.

Just discovered this a couple of minutes ago, and Paris is no longer
sucking the CPU dry of cycles.

Thanks Dimitrios and DJ.

It's ALIVE!!!!

OK - time to start adding the second EDS card - double woohoo!

BTW, it was great to meet several of you guys, even if for the short
hour. Oh yeah, and the hot Thai was quite good and edible - still a step
below Siamese Plate's Jungle Curry in heat.

Good news Rhode. I was just dredging up some onld notes I had and years ago,
I did notice that there were many similarities between the UAD-1 driver and
the EDS scherzo driver back when I was using UAD-1's and Paris. that is, I'm
sure, why he EDS and UAD-1 cards can happily share IRQ's. the EDS card is
the only audio hardware that I've ever seen that plays nice with UAD-1 on
the same interrupt (though I have heard that the POCO PCI and UAD-1 will
also do this). Perhaps due to this similarity, there is some crosstalk
between the UAD-1 and Paris Scherzo drivers if there is no UAD-1 card for
the appropriate driver to recognize.

Anyway.....glad you got this sussed....and yeah, it was fun getting
together, although I wussed out and went with the mild Thai.

;o)
