Default Glitch in FMS with Flash 5X

Buy the cheapest sound card you can find and disable on-board sound in BIOS. This should help.

The cheapest, but quite decent card, I could find right now is:

Hope this helps!
Thanks for the suggestions. I am running Windows XP Pro on a 2.4 GHz P4 with an AUSU 533 buss motherboard. The onboard sound is disabled and I am running a Hoontech digital sound card. It is the lowest end card they make (Hoontech makes mostly professional digital-audio cards) so I doubt if that is it, but I will drop in an older card and see what happens.

Today I was setting up a new plane and coordinating it with the Flash 5, so I left the Tx and Rx on for about an hour while I was doing some other things.... no glitches, so it must be something in the computer or the chord. Thank goodness it is not the Flash 5!

The search goes on.
