Oct 11, 2002 05:41 pm One extra note: If you haven't already, you'll probably need to switch to Standard PC mode on your computer or else you'll get nasty pops and clicks in your audio. Don't ask me why, but I had this problem and spent forever trying to find out how to fix it.
Oct 11, 2002 09:54 pm huh? standard pc mode? elaborate more on this.. i didnt have to touch a thing on my delta configuration or my os.
Oct 11, 2002 09:59 pm harfharf...
Well, I would be able to explain it better if I understood it myself, but some other people have had the same problem as well. I guess if you aren't getting pops and clicks in your recordings in the first place, then don't worry about it. But after basically begging M-Audio to help me by E-mail, I finally got them to give me a vague responce somewhat like what my last post was like :-) Then I contacted Dell and they helped me through the process. I guess that there are two ways of running your operating system, standard PC and ACPI (or something like that) mode. Something about how Delta cards need their own dedicated somethingorother, and you need to switch modes to Standard PC to do that. There are 2 ways to do this: Reload Windows XP in the Standard PC mode, or switch through some long complicated process that I would tell you if I remembered. Supposedly your computer is a little slower after switching without totally reloading the operating system, but it's less of a hassle. I don't notice any lag really, but some things are a little weird (You have to push Ctr Alt Delete to start up on the welcome screen, and the computer doesn't shut down automatically anymore.) Just check and see if you're getting those little annoying pops and clicks. If you are, this is the way to fix it. Trust me, I tried EVERYTHING! Hope that makes some sense...
Oct 12, 2002 12:23 am ah.. i know what youre talking about. that has to do with the file format and the degree of security youre using. fat32 or ntfs. ntfs is more of a workstation format.. more efficient but not as friendly in regards to audio and games.
Oct 12, 2002 09:07 am argh...there comes that nasty "ACPI" acronym again...my MoBo doesn't allow me to turn off ACPI, so I have to run it, and my Delta series card (Audiophile 2496) is running wonderfully...
Oct 14, 2002 04:36 pm I still haven't got my delta 44 working yet... oh well, don't have any recording software right now anyway.
Oct 14, 2002 07:57 pm hey Loki, what's wrong with the Delta44? What OS you have installed?-j
Oct 14, 2002 08:54 pm And don't forget, if you have a previous version of the Delta driver's installed. You need to uninstall it B4 you install the new version, or you will end up with a big mess.
Oct 17, 2002 05:25 pm I've got windows 2000. My computer didn't see it when i installed it, so i took off the case and then pulled out the card and put it back in, and still nothin. I'm so confused it's not even funny...
Oct 17, 2002 05:51 pm did it get its own irq? and when you put it in, did you replace an old card or was this an empty pci slot?
Oct 19, 2002 04:35 am ... I don't remember about the IRQ, but it was put into an empty PCI slot
Oct 19, 2002 01:56 pm to check irq's, goto control panel-> system -> device manager. then check the properties on your delta to see what it is listing and then check your other devices.
ive got my graphics card and my delta on the same irq and my other sound card is on a different irq.
you might run into problems if the delta card is on the same irq with the other sound card.
Oct 19, 2002 02:18 pm Oooo, video cards are heavy devices, to have that sharing with anything else heavy (like a sound card) is not a great idea. If it works great, but it is still advisable to share heavy devices with light devices...here are some examples...
*** heavy devices:
Video card
video capture card
*** medium cards:
sound cards
SCSI hosts
extra IDE interfaces
*** light devices
network card
modem
com port add ons
In sound studios sound cards can easily be moved up to a heavy device...
Oct 19, 2002 04:02 pm yea.. i didnt like that on mine either, but when i reformated with everything installed.. thats where it auto-assigned it. and it works, so ill leave it be.
