Published on January 16, 2008

Scientists at the Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary have developed a computer that can "translate" dog barks. We put translate in quotes because the machine can only detect the dogs' general mood at the time. Scientists claim the readings are 43 percent accurate - something which doesn't seem that great, but they add most humans would not have done so well. Read more

More Information

I have my Xfi XtremeGame Fata1ity installed and I downloaded new drivers and installed those. I rebooted and sometimes it sounds good. For about 5 seconds it will sound choppy and slow everything else down. I know the card has a game mode and entertainment mode, but I have tried everything I can think of.

If Im just listening to music with itunes it get hung up sometimes in both game mode and entertainment mode.
When I'm playing games I went to game mode and it still did it, and I tried entertainment and it still did it.

Are there some settings I can alter to get rid of this. I wouldn't even mind taking a minor sound quality hit if I got the thing running smoothly. Any suggestions?
