- Technical Details
-
- Poor streaming audio performance can occur from slow
- internet connections, slow servers, or while the computer is
- engaged in other work concurrently. On some specific
- revisions of the listed computer models, an additional cause
- of poor streaming audio performance was an interaction with
- the serial driver software, sound driver software, and
- serial hardware.
-
- The 7.6.1 Streaming Audio Update extension changes the
- behavior of the serial and sound driver software to better
- support the demanding, real time nature of streaming audio.
- At times when the sound driver is busy servicing the sound
- hardware, extra checks are made to ensure that the serial
- driver can properly service the serial hardware. For some
- computers this results in a significant improvement in
- streaming audio performance.
