Kusma: No, he's referring to the negative of the latency -- we put the framework time of the demo at (_startuptime - latency).

kusma: when making demos, you got to fix some premises: one could be that the machine manages to run at 60fps or something. Hence the framebuffer latency can be assumed to be constant. But the latency isnt. I think running vista fullscreen, the latency is much larger than when running under xp. ... or so I've heard.

Found the problem for you.

Seriously, Realtek onboard audio, in all incarnations, is some of the worst driver coding I have ever seen. Even on my shit boxes, I disable it and put in a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz or something.

The only worse windows sound hardware I've seen is the original Sound Blaster Live!, which screwed with the bus in ways that could at best miss interrupts and worst prevent other devices from initializing (including I/O, which would prevent windows from booting of course).

Trixter: Understood, but that's not the cause of the issue I had. With the motherboard power management app uninstalled, I have had good audio/graphics sync with everything I have run on this box.

That being said, I do plan to purchase a much better card in the near future. I am considering an HT Omega card. The onboard audio doesn't have the greatest sound quality and I do some analog to digital recording of LPs and cassettes with this machine. I want as much quality as I can get and the onboard sound just doesn't cut it.

I'd have ordered the thing already but money is very tight at the moment.. :)
