Make sure you've got the latest version of ASIO4All, the latest Via Envy HT24 drivers.

Now set the sample rate to auto, select PCM out and enable digital out.

I hope that does the trick for you.

Took me a while to figure out what you meant since my English isn't that great after all. I got it now I think. I haven't got a UD-10 myself, so I'll answer it with the knowledge I've got. Note that it might not be correct. (most likely it is though)

Both of the outputs will bypass the kmixer. Most likely the volume control will determine how much power is send to the USB device. I am still trying to figure this out. If you want to be sure keep your volume maxed at all times. Then you will avoid decrease in bitdepth for sure.

There might be a difference between USB devices and regular soundcards as well. Like I said I am trying to find that out. I'll post something more conclusive when I am sure.

So, something more conclusive right here:

You CAN adjust volume when using a USB device. You will still have bitperfect output. The only thing you are changing by adjusting the volume in Windows is how much power is send to the USB port.

I will try to find out whether you can change the volume on regular soundcards as well. ( and keep the same bitdepth)

Thanks for the guide. Hoped it would help my crackles but still got them .

Anyway the X-meridian has it´s own ASIO drivers I think (currently running my X-fi).

Do I need to uninstall Asio4all or is it enough to just deselect it in foobar?

Since the X-meridan (AFAIK) supports ASIO natively you should uninstall the ASIO4All drivers. After this you should be able to select the ASIO in foobar. This should work.

As far as the cracks are concerned. This might have something to do with the sampling rate this cards uses. I am not sure about this however and I suggest you look it up in the manual of the card itself. Since this cards is pretty much a clone of the creative X-fi it might use 48 kHz instead of 44.1.

Here is a link to a good resampler for foobar:

I am not sure about this but you can try to resample it and see if the cracks stop. If that doesn't help I suggest you start a new thread where you can ask this question again and get help from other people who are more knowledgeable about this particular card.

Did you increase the buffers sizes? I have the ASIO buffers set at 2048 for my Aardvark Direct Pro to work nicely with Winamp, with its Direct Sound hardware buffer size in the same range, at 2368. Till I increased this, I got crackles from that card through Asio4All. (Winamp doesn't recognize the Direct Pro's native Asio drivers except as emulated through Direct Sound.) I lower them back down for recording work to 512.

Once again I am done with this thread. I will not be editing it and I will not be taking any suggestions. I hope this thread has been of some use to some of you.

I'll be leaving this forum since it has been taking up way too much of my precious time.

Cheers.

Yeah... this place is addictive, isn't it?!

You'll be missed. Come around as often as is "safe" to appear without it turning into a crazy habit! And keep checking the Binaural thread.

I most likely will check that thread every once in a while indeed. I have really been enjoying those links over there.

Aside from this forum costing too much of my time I am mainly leaving because I am suffering from severe depression. Don't start worrying about me though since I have been suffering from depression for years now. Maybe I will return to this forum again when I am feeling a bit better.

Thx for making me feel welcome Terry.

Cheers.

Sorry to hear about your depression. Hope you have a good recovery. Listen to some good uplifting music!

I can relate. I too suffer from severe depression and also Agoraphobia (haven't been out the house in 3 years, except for doctors appointments etc), but I find these forums as a good "escape" from my problems. It's places like head-fi that keep me going.

I hope you change your mind and decide to come back. I for one really enjoyed reading your posts.

Heh... we should start our own thread then! I'm another one in that boat!

I found an article going into another method of doing Asio4All out of Winamp besides using the plug-in available from the Winamp plug-ins site. It uses a different version altogether from a Japanese author that worked with my Aardvark Direct Pro where the Winamp-site one would not. Read the post I made over at the Crackles due to PCI Bus Noise thread, rather than me repeating it all here. You may be doing another edit after all, EnOYiN!

When I set up ASIO4all in winamp initially it wouldn't play at all. I had to click configure in the Output dialog box and select the plug-in as driver, then it worked.

You guys did change my mind about this. I just shouldn't spend too much time here. I think I'll try that for now and see how it works out.

I see what I can do about it. I won't start editing like a madman right now but, I will try and write a part about it in the original post.
