I have a custom made 6 pin connector, could this be the reason behind the hiss? I would hate to find another connector for it, as it works perfectly. whenever I remove the cable, it gives a loud audible permanent hiss. Plugging the cable back in seems to lessen the hiss, but its still there.

The EMU setup used to be dead silent.

EDIT: i am connecting it to a gilmore lite, and then using alessandro ms1s

did you turn down the master volumn of 0404 to 60%-70%?
0404 gives hiss on full volumn and this is an known issue.

 

[maarek99]

Hiss on full volume? Not in my 0404.

Volume should be at 0.0 in Patchmix. No hiss here.

hiss may come from analog inputs... try lowering those if you have them anabled in patchmix.
cheers

 

[diablo9]

if you put the master volumn to full volumn +12, when listen to music you will hear broken sound.

how do i do this? All i have is an ASIO out and a WAVE L/R

edit: through further testing, i have found it to be the fault of the gilmore lite amplifier. thanks

no hiss on my even at max volume as well. You can try changing pci slots, and I have read that it may be due to your PSU and sometimes your mobo. but no problem on mine.

 

[oScARSr]

no hiss even i modded it. 0.0 main volume.

thanks for the followup! i'm glad you followed up on your thread, it helps dispell rumors like *i read in a thread that the 0404 is hissy!*

actually, upon further testing, it does seem to be the emu 0404. It's just this slight static sound in the background whenever i crank the volume, it didnt used to do this. Whenever the computer is powered down, the gilmore lite is dead silent. It is only have the patchmix DSP is applied that the emu0404 starts the hiss

any ideas?

Nor on mine. Unmodded, stock breakout cables, Radioshack Fusion RCAs to Headsave Classic v2. I can crank the volume on both the amp and in PatchMix to full, and it's totally silent no matter what headphones I try with it.

Do you have anything connecting to the analog input of the 0404?

nope, not at all. This is pretty confusing, do you think its a PCI slot problem? The problem just recently surfaced and is extremely annoying. I tried to update drivers to no avail

I suppose anything's possible. Try switching slots, or perhaps try the card in another computer, if you're able. The second would certainly tell you if it's the card and not a software issue. If does end up being the card, look and see about getting it replaced under warranty.

What program are you using on your computer? I had the volume in Foobar too high and noticed problems like you are having. Lower it to about 90%, while keeping everything in Patchmix at 0.0. This fixed all of my problems.

Also, have you tried using different encoding methods?

edit: Another thing I just thought of is the sheilding of the cable. Is there any?
