Dear All,

I am working on configuring Internet Appliance on a MIPS based
development board.
At the start up sometimes the startup sound doesnt play and many a
times there are disturbances.But playing audio file under heavily
loaded system doesnt create any problem.Now what should i do to make
sure that the startup music is always played.Iam not sure about fine
tuning the priority of the audio driver as i dont want it to affect
other drivers present in the system( the other drivers present are USB
driver for keyboard,mouse and mass storage device,ATA/ATAPI
driver,video driver,serial driver).

Regards,
Kamaal

Are you using an external storage device mounted as root? (possibly storing
startup.wav?)

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response.
I am not using any external storage device mounted as root. Could you
specify
as to how that can lead to such a situation? have u experienced
anything like
that?

I know that explorer.exe plays the strartup file.I dont know if its
taking the file
via the release directory or from the image. Is there any method
through which i can
actually determine whether it is taken from the release (or) the image?
(i am
using the retail build) Would the .wav file being taken from release
directory also lead
to a similar situation by any chance?

I am not able to exactly narrow down the reason as to why with the same
configuration
the foresaid behaviour(startup file not playing) is observed.Also this
behaviour is consistent.
It happens once in every 7 or 8 downloads. Any other leads possible
with this scenario?

Regards,
Kamaal
