I flashed my Chaintech AV710 as per Glassman's directions http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...+perfect+av710

I am now getting the following error when I try to open Audio Deck:
Access violation at address0040c461 in module "ENMIXCPL.EXE". Read of address 007A002C

I am running Win98SE and Foobar 8.3. Any ideas?

I haven't flashed my card, but my understanding is you have to install the drivers for the Prodigy after you flash it.

 

[Johncan]

Ok... I am completely stupid. I have now downloaded and installed the Prodigy 7.1 drivers. I also have downloaded and installed ASIO foobar plugin. I can get my DAC back to show 44.1 kHz ouput but I get no sound. I don't know what do to do.

I don't know if you can get ASIO to work in Win 98... Have you tried other options like Kernel Streaming?

Kernel Streaming only works with windows 2000 and newer if i recall correctly.

 

[Johncan]

KS does not work with Win98SE. Can someone either help me with the setup of the Prodigy drivers or let me know how I can flash back to the Chaintech firmware.

I really would like to have bit-perfect digital output in a Win98SE computer. But I am stumped.

I think that the Prodigy drivers are bit perfect even with WaveOut and DirectSound. If you have an HT receiver with a digital input you could test it by sending a DTS-Wav file to it and see if it properly decodes.

Johncan,

Unfortunately, there is no way at all whatsoever to get bit-perfect audio under Windows 98SE or Windows Me. Neither of those Windows OSes supports ASIO or Kernel Streaming. You'll need to run Windows 2000 or Windows XP in order to use either ASIO or KS. Thus, you're stuck with DirectSound or waveOut output under 98SE.

 

[Johncan]

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.

I am not getting any sound out of the flashed Chaintech with the Prodigy drivers. I get nothing with either WaveOut and DirectSound selected in Foobar. Maybe I am not using the Prodigy control panel correctly. I would like to use the digital out to my Musical Fidelity X-24K DAC. Any tips on getting this card to work would be appreciated. Can someone provide me with a link to or original Chaintech firmware?

Thanks!

John

shift output channels by 8, that will aim the S/PDIF transmitter.. check your settings in foobar's ASIO plugin preferences..

 

[Johncan]

Glassman,

I tried that last night as per your instructions in a previous post. I got an error in Foobar that states something like "too many channels selected." I don't remember the exact wording as I am at work and can't look at my computer in question. When I get home I can post the exact error message.

Can you send me the original Chaintech firmware? I can PM with my email address. I think I need to use the analog outputs on the Chaintech due to my limitation of using Win98SE.

On a better note, two of my computers are putting out great sound through Foobar and WinXP Pro. I have a Sonica utilizing KS out to an ART DI/O DAC and a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 using ASIO out the analog jacks to some Event near-field monitors.

Thanks!

rename it to eeprom.ini, put in eeprwa directory and run eeprwa..

 

[Johncan]

Thanks! I will reflash when I get home and see what I can do.

I may see if I can get XP Pro to load on a machine with an AMD K6-2 533 cpu with 128 MB SDRAM.

John

 

[Glassman]

don't even try that, rather go with win2k..

No don't! Kid I tutor own a P4 Dell with 128 MB RAM and it HURTS to see it work!! Stick with Win 2K Pro recommendation...
