Yes, if I disable both from the Device Manager I get a clean DPC graph and firewire audio (Mackie D.2 mixer) works without a single glitch. I tried just disabling the Wi-fi radio and this doesn't do it, I have to disable it and the DVD drive in the Device Manager.
Dude, do it the other way around : disable only the dvd drive and see if it works. Not the wireless, and then the wireless + dvd drive.
Also, when you check, dont run a DAW, dont connect a sound card, just have a look at the latency checker program. If there are not red spikes when ONLY the drive is disabled, then the drive is your problem. If there's still red spikes with disabled drive, then disable also the wireless module. And see if the spikes go away after that.
