Thanks Marek, that worked.


I am disappointed, though. DMA makes no difference when ripping speeds.
I get exactly the same speeds when ripping with DMA on or off. And it's
pretty slow too, at only x2. When I ripped all my CD's with Warty a few
month back, I am sure I got about x4....
No DMA magic for me then, it seems :o(

Well, luckily, I don't really depend on it for ripping CD's, they are
already all done.

Once hdparm sets DMA, does it take effect instantly ? I tried restarting
sound-juicer, even logging-out/in, but that didn't do it.
Do I need to reboot the machine ??
