I got this too when I'm trying to record via auvoxware. I have the soundcard at IRQ 5 and the LPT at IRQ 7. > I had exactly the same problem, using an AWE32 on IRQ 7.

It must be the DMA. But it seems to be ok. > By the way, switching the lpt port to I/O polled mode didn't > have a noticable effect on printing speed.
