Just got my card yesterday and the quality is awsome, but I do have some problems
Alright.. I have a windows 2000 system with via kt133a chipset.. I have the pci latency "patch" installed and used to have SB Live, which worked fine.
Now I seem to have some problems with the 0404.. primarily sound cutoff. I play a mp3 in Winamp and suddenly all sound goes off, patchmix just dies. If I start the song again it plays.. for a while. Sometimes it works fine for many many songs but then it just cuts off. I just got the card and I haven't had the time to test it properly, but at the moment this problem is only limited to mp3-playing. I tested playing games for an hour and watched 48khz mpg's for 3 hours straight. Not a single pop or anything suspicious during those activities.
When I listened to music and played games same time though.. all sound cutoff after a while. Patchmix died.
I've read some posts concerning this but I'd like to narrow my problem down a bit, what do you think the problem is and what should I try? It's a bit mystical. I'll test more probably today to see the exact conditions when the cutoff happens and does it actually only happen when mp3-playing. I'm using directsound for winamp but I tried waveout too, same thing happened. Haven't tried ASIO.
My emu has 2 pci-slots between it and the agp-card. Emu has own IRQ. It is the same slot my SB Live used to occupy. And I have, of course, installed the newest (1.71) driver&patchmix-updates.
Appreciate all the help...
