The problem isn't that network or disk performance is bad while playing music. Rather, it's that sound playback performance is bad during a copy job. From a user experience perspective, sound should have priorty and, if necessary, the OS should reduce resources allocated to the disk copy not the other way around. This fix makes the sound stuttering issue worse. To me, it looks like this issue is being turned on it’s head. The problem isn’t that network or disk performance is bad while playing music.

Right now as I write this it's over 600 kb/s total with no trouble, but then if I tried that again 24 hours from now it'd be back to stuttering the whole computer.

If the file is larger than 100mb it makes my system completely unusable for an hour or more. Pretty rediculous!!

I looked around, and the only info I can find on the issue points to problems with the 802.11a band on wireless network adapters. I have a linksys WMP300N wireless card, and sadly the drivers don't have an option to disable the "a" band. Since the MMCSS seems to be related to such issues, I was wondering if you might have any suggestions as to fixing the popping audio problem. Or if you are aware of any workaround or 3rd party drivers which would allow me to disable the "a" band on my linksys wireless card.

However, when any form of audio played, I still saw the network speed drop down to around 12% of a gig. On server 2008 i noticed no slow down in network activity when transfering files between either SP1 or server 2008 or Server 2003 machines. I noticed one of the explenations said that sendng data isnt affected by this but I saw files being throttled from 60% of a gig to 32% when audio was playing (SP1 to SP1 copy). I am pretty sure then SP0 coping i saw 12% of a gig no matter which way i copied files.
