If the corrupted memory is memory containing the sound data, then one

Any other process could be corrupting the memory simply be writing to

Program A writes 5 to memory cell 4.

Program B writes garbage to memory cell 4.

However this only happens during sound playback...

For example the programs are some kind of kernel/driver related thingy ;)

Seems like you've narrowed the problem to be solved to that of finding
faults in sound card drivers when used for playback, rather than the
detection of general memory corruption issues.
Anything could be causing the corruption so that's why I included: "or
system" in the subject to describe any possible system ;) as well as in the

Message received, interesting theory thank you ! ;) :)

However I have fan blowing cool air towards the harddisks.

However there is some dust in the dust filter.

And there are cables at the end which might block a bit of the airflow.

The question therefore is how hot are the chips getting.

A cool idea would be to add sensors to the harddisks just like other
equipment has nowadays therefore I am going to add the hardware newsgroup
again so people see this idea ! hopefully ! ;)

Besides if this theory was the cause then it would have to be all the
time... but that does not seem to be the case ?!

My diagnosis (based on my computer first-aid previous work): the
overheated chips of your HDD (or controller) started making "noise" on
power cables. Check the PSU voltage if you want your computer to keep

Or maybe you have unmuted audio line-in input with CD connected to your
sound card by an old-fashioned analog cable, haven't you? The inside of
the computer is always full of EM noises from all this plastic-metal junk,

I can imagine for myself a few ways that it might be possible so I am

I am asking does anyone out there KNOW of a case that it actually

The Sun has a large magnetic field. We also orbit inside the Sun's
atmosphere which consists of fast moving charged particles.
The Earth-Sun system is a dynamo inducing huge ground currents (as in,

I use both in switching power supplies. The analog opto for voltage
feedback, the digital isolator (Analog Devices ADuM1200 series) for
setting power supply voltage.


Three bucks for an isolator in a switcher? Yikes.
Relative to sluggish optos, the galvanic ISO721 is not cheap.
Probably the only reason I'm using it is to dodge modelling a fast
opto in ltspice.
Another reason I'm dodging a linear opto is that my smps design is
experimental and a poorly applied opto may cause loop stability
problems. If anything goes wrong, I can't blame an opto if it's not
there.

It's a tradeoff.. So the parts are expensive, but I get the design
done earlier.

I use both in switching power supplies. The analog opto for voltage
feedback, the digital isolator (Analog Devices ADuM1200 series) for
setting power supply voltage.

Three bucks for an isolator in a switcher? Yikes.

Si, puedo construir una placa de circuito para todo con eso :)
