[AG-TECH] problems with RAT hanging

[Paul Hatton]

I've not really been following this thread, so I'm not sure what the 
platform is (it's not specified in this mail). However. I've had 
problems with on-board RealTek audio under WindowsXP - not tried any 
other platforms on this machine - which were solved by putting a 
cheap-and-cheerful old audio card in the machine and diabling the on-
board audio - Soundblaster I think but I don't have the machine to 
hand. A Google found

which may be relevant.
