ASIO Drivers ?

[Mr. Brokenamp]

Yes you can use the KX audio driver I have it on my system.

Try moving your soundcard to another PCI slot.



How can it clip when you don't play any sound ?
Define what do you mean by "clipping".

well it sounds like something is burning, those snaps etc.

I may be wrong, but to me it sounds like a hardware problem - maybe some sort of bad connection / short or fried DAC.

btw I would call this type of sonical mess crackling rather than clipping.

Sounds like your computer can't keep up with the sound card. I had the same prob. once i got a real sound interface. I upgraded my mobo+ processor and maxed out the ram.

+1 Same problem too. I basically just got a new computer. Is your computer old?

i got my pc on 31 dec - 2004

Details ? CPU, ram, mobo ?

My crappy Duron 1600 with 512/333 ram and SBlive + EMU 1212M works flawlessly on Win98 and XP.

i just put my speakers into the onbaord soundcard.

no blips or anything at all, pure clean....

SO FOR EVERYONE

NEVER . . . BUT NEVER . .BUT NEVER BUY A GODDAMN AUDIGY 2 GODDAMN CRAP

 

[Mendel]

im just going to remove it and get a audiophile shit.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

One more thing--try the PCI slot switch, that helped the problem for a while.

He wrote that it crackles even without a audio application running. This cannot be caused by a slow computer. The problem you describe happens in DAW's if you set your latency lower than your pc can handle or if you use more plugins than it can handle at the same time.

It is not a great card for recording but it is definately a very solid product with stable drivers. If you want a good soundcard for gaming/dvds/etc. it still is one of the best choices....if it is dead it's just bad luck....
I doubt it though. I guess you configured something wrong or have interrupt conflicts between the Audigy and other devices. Give it it's own unshared IRQ....

 

[Mendel]

hmmm i guess...

I can't tell what it is you're running in that movie, but it looks like about 8 different program windows are open. WinXP is notorious for background processes, even more if you got your comp from a dealer like dell or hewlett packard. If that's your main recording machine, try and make a new user on the computer just for recording things, and go through the registry and remove all the worthless startup items and background processes. That should help out I think...


EDIT: It's also a bit dangerous, but if you feel brave, CTRL-ALT-DEL and give the program that's running the audio driver a better thread priority, that way the CPU will give more love to the important things...

 

[Mendel]

the problem is already solved. i put the uaidgy 2 in a different slot in my motherboard.

Try moving your soundcard to another PCI slot.

This sounds like a good idea... I think I'm gonna do this just for the hell of it.
