I for the life of me can not get rid of the distortion I am hearing.
It comes and goes. Mostly as pops and clicks.
I can not discern any pattern.
I have tried everything I can think of.
Sometimes during the middle of a song audio output will simply stop. If I hit play again it resumes like it had been paused. (But it hadn't)
It doesn't matter what audio player I use. Foobar, Winamp, WMP. Or what method of output. Waveout, ASIO, Kernal Streaming.
At first I thought the Emu simply didn't get along with my onboard audio. Because once I disabled it the problem seemed to go away. However, it had simply been lessened.
It also effects playback over other devices. If I am playing audio over onboard audio it also has clicks and pops. (I have also tried a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz with the same results)
When I had the RME Digi Pad before I had absolutely zero problems. Even in conjuction with 2 other audio cards. So I must believe that this issue has to deal explicity with the Emu.
I have tried switching PCI slots. I have tried reinstalling drivers. I have reformatted my computer. I have done everything I can think of.
I am beginning to contemplate returning the Emu and going back to the RME. Even though the Emu does sound quite a bit better when it is working free of distortion.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
