Why can't EXT handle ANY audio without crackling?

XP2600+ (Barton)

Via kt333 chipset

786mb ram

Geforce FX5200

two harddisks - both 7200rpm

Echo Mia

lots of crackles when using the native drivers

no big problems when using the asio4all drivers
even when pushing the cpu (apart from the bizarre problem described in the thread I already linked to
earlier)

I had additionally an EMU APS installed before and had no problems when using the kx-driver

I wasn't trying to say "it works for me so shut up" - just trying to point out directions for looking at possible points of incompatibility,

Same here! No arrogance at all intended!!!

I mean loading wavs into the audio part comp instead of the sequencer comp, and then see if mouse/gui interrupts still causes the same level of crackles.

Yes i will see if that happens jorgen, but to be honest its more anoying that ext can't play audio even when i dont move the gui or mouse . All i have to do is press play and as soon as it gets to the audio in the seq- snap crackle pop. But i will see if it does the same in an audio part comp.

Hey boys, I get lot more crackels when using my asio4all with ac97 and not at all when using my native m-audio drivers.

Has anyone actually tried Ccleaner as I suggested. For whatever reason, this is great at eliminating pops and crackles.

yes

not at this end...

I have tried cclearner as well (great app btw... a nice little addition to regcleaner )... but it didn't help.

I like to restate what I kinda stumbled on above. The asio4all drivers are basically clean on my machine, while the echo drivers glitch/buzz. As the cpu processing gets more intense the gui slows with asio4all.. but with the echo drivers, the gui is a lot snappier with the same load.... the plot thickens.

Wtf, I think I have uncrackled it...

just a few more test

Have any of you guys, with the energy EXT dropout problem, fiddled around with "Global" PCI latency
using PCI Latency Tool....or similar program?

Might be worth a try........................................

[ModuLR]

I've tried that PCI thing too... but when you really think about it, none of that should be needed. In any case, it didn't help my situation...

however, if jorgen may have "uncrackled" it...

OMG! He's uncrackled it?!
Fantastic!

So when do we get the ucrackled version???



I essentially have the exact same prob as ModuLR when using ASIO4all vs the Indigo IO drivers.

Everyone planning on testing the uncrackled version.. Please test thoroughly in the sequencer with audio samples before claiming it works "perfectly." Save a project, reopen it and play the sequence.. Because i think it had something to do with the first pass.
