Hey all, new to the group , not new to audio. I recently got a DSL connection and noticed that it was causing audio dropouts. I trouble shot the crap out of my crappy onboard soundmax soundcard as well as my handy Tascam US428. Crazy thing is.. everything is fine if I unplug the DSL connection but once its plugged in the dropouts are back. This happens in all programs from VLC to Winamp to Itunes on any format of audio / video. I know the one solution: unplug it but was wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

Welcome to the forums duophonic,
Are you using the on-board(motherboards) LAN device for the DSL connection or an add-in card?
Have you looked in the device manager for any issues?
Have you looked to see if the soundcard and LAN device are sharing IRQs?
