I'm doing this now while I still have time. I trimmed the startup down by messing with my BIOS settings to cut down the time needed for POST. I turned auto-detection for drives and devices off, set booting removable devices to off and set the primary SSD as the first boot device. I'm still fighting the XMPCR resume from Hibernate issue, although it seems that having XPort reset the driver and Centrafuse to 9000 ms delay on resume has somewhat fixed it, but I think what gets played back before the cutoff is just what CF buffered before Hibernate...

I also ordered the Andrea bundle from the MP3Car store. It came in yesterday. I installed it today. I won't know anything until I get the CarPC reinstalled.

I updated the chipset drivers to the latest version. It seems to have fixed the Hibernation issue I previously reported. I have also trimmed the startup time down to 25 seconds. I plan to detail how I did that later (if I can remember...)

Are you still using Win 7? If yes, go into the sound options because alot of people are reporting that Win 7 has echo cancellation built in.

It must've passed me up, because my sound cards have noise cancellation and 3D Sound Emulation, but not echo cancellation...

See thats the thing. I dont know if its Win 7 that does the Acoustic Echo Cancellation, or the soundcard. So you may want to hunt around. There is a chance, maybe its a software ENCR that Windows has built in. I know alot of people are saying that it makes the echo very small. You still hear it, but it isnt so bad that the phone conversastion is impossible. Have you thought about the SOHO? It gets rid of echo by up to 99%.

I got this Andrea bundle with the USB sound card that has ENCR hardware/software that I've heard works really well. I just need to sort out the XMPCR issues so I can get back to the car to test it.

Got all of my issues sorted except the OPUS and echo. I need to have my CarPC in the car for those. I'll put it back in and (hopefully) fix those.

XM will only play through one channel with my onboard sound card. It doesn't play at all on my generic USB sound card (not the Andrea USB sound card). If I go into the sound settings and select Recording, it goes to both channels, but as soon as I close the box, it goes back to the one channel. (It's the left channel that is the only channel that plays...) It's starting to **** me off... I'm really considering going back to XP now...

See its f*#ked up because Win 7 is so much better when it comes to the hybrid sleep feature, but alot of devices dont have drivers because it all legacy cr@p. It nice that XP works great but that hybrid sleep is just looking too good. I mean image turning the key and your PC is on instantly. If you stay away from the car too long then it hibernates. With XP its sleep or hibernate. If someone can make a hybrid sleep for XP, then I will most likely stay with XP.

The OPUS still isn't shutting things down properly. I'm going back to XP with EWF and HORM. It worked a heck of a lot better than this BS...
