I found this type of issue when using ProTools on a well spec’d PC with an 8 core i7, loads of ram and fast and large hard drives.
There was mention of the WLAN card forcing an interrupt on the system then causing the audio buffer to empty and then an error message [9073] stating “DAE can’t get audio from the drive fast enough…”
Disabling the wireless solved the issue and Internet connectivity was still available by making a cat5 cabled connection.
So, I am guessing that it is the same sort of issue. The WLAN card/controller takes precedence in the system forcing the DAW to wait in the line for data delivery (or something like that).
Stevo…
