EMU 0404 usb Windows Xp Freeze

[flavviuss]

Hi to all

I have recently purchased this soundcard. It's a very good one but i have a big big problem. Science i have installed it windows xp randomally hangs: after 2 hours, after 15 minutes...

I have no virus, no computer worm or spy, etc..

The drivers are installed correctly, i have updated the drivers and firmware from the site. I have checked the latency and it's in the addmited threshsolds, i have updated my usb 2.0 drivers, i even installed a new copy of windows with only the audio drivers and winamp....still the same behaviour.

My system is athlon xp 2200, gigabyte ga7-va motherboard, 1.5 g of ram.

Please help me on this , i have absolutelly no ideea what could it be, but definitely i can't work with my recordings like this. Windows xp just freezez randomally. Coud it be something about the assio buffer or something?

USB audio interfaces will overload CPU much more than PCI ones . You have rather old computer and CPU , I guess there's the rub .

Nothing should ever hang the computer, not high processor usage, not anything.

It is while it is PLAYING music? Or while you move from playing one track to clicking to play another. There can be freezing with the ASIO buffer stuff..but it shouldn't just randomly freeze while playing. Try messing with the buffer, however.
