Recorded in 16bit/44.1 KHZ but playback in 24bit/96khz??

Cool - I will post once I am done testing...already downloaded the new driver....the last one was put in exactly a year ago...when this PC was built..
 
Anyway - cheers

No worries, I'm glad to help

all the the sake of getting closer to audio bliss, be it listening, producing, or whatever audio contact you might have

 
I recommend you using full clocks, and having a clean computer without dust and good airflow. That way you'll be just fine.

 
Hey there - 
 
I came home early from work to have a go with the new driver - audio performance was still problematic. So I downloaded the nvidia desktop manager that comes with driver - but I do not see any powermiser settings on there at all in any of the tabs and their contents...should I just go ahead and install the disable powermiser application that you originally sent me or ....?

 

[Syan25]

In fact - the Nvidia manager - does not show anything regarding clocks either - so this manager is merely for video/graphic settings and that is it...

The important thing is that you install the driver, updating it from the previous version you have.
 
Clocks can only be configured from an additional tool, which I didn't link because if you change clocks from there without knowing what you're doing, you can do damage to your GPU.
 
Changing powermizer settings is the safest route.

I play flac files with foobar, and i've set foobar at 24 bit and i'm also using the resampler (PPHS) dsp in foobar, it's set to 96KHz, ultra mode, and also my creative sound card is on audio creation mode, also set to 96KHz, i've never heard a pop, glitch, unwanted sound... I listen on Sennheiser HD580 upgraded with HD650 drivers. I must say at least my ears don't detect any sound changes between NoOverSampling and Oversampling.

I think what I am saying is that - the manager doesn't allow me to see where powermiser is to disable. There is nothing mentioning powermiser. So do I now continue to download the original link that you sent me for turning off powermiser???

 

[Roller]

The drivers on the link are updated drivers, mainly as there are many fixes for several issues. The first link I posted is the powermizer manager, the software that enables you to chance powermizer settings, has nothing to do with the driver.
 
So yes, after the new driver is installed, use the powermizer manager and set things like the image.

 

[Syan25]

Gottcha - the new driver is already installed - did it earlier today - now I will download the powermiser manager - cheers!

 

[Roller]

Come on now, I want to see that machine up and running like there's no tomorrow!

 

[Syan25]

Well - I installed the manager - and made settings at Max performance/minimum powersave...
 
Also I overrode the overheat slowdown - which I believe was the right thing to do...
 
Anyway - I will test the audio as soon as possible...may be tomorrow ---
 
BTW - what latency./ buffer setting are you using for your playback?
 
H

 

[Roller]

That sounds about right. As long as you keep your machine dust free and proper cooled, everything will be just fine.
 
For general playback (audio, video and games), latency isn't a concern at all, so I don't need to worry about having less than 11ms. For the times I feel like dabbling with Acid, I drop it between 11 and 8ms, any less and my CPU starts giving in, but I could push it down to 6ms if I started turning off anything not essential for audio handling. Perhaps with a new machine I'll be able to hit 2ms

 

[Syan25]

I've disabled speed stepping on the Intel CPu and also the graphics card powermiser functions are set to max performance - I'll retest the audio in this weekend! Let you know it fares..

 

[Roller]

Good. You should be ready to have much less issues, if any at all.
 
For now let's just see how the machine performs under those conditions. Also, are you connected through network to some device while working? Or connected to the internet, for that matter?

 

[Syan25]

If my wife goes to sleep early - then I will certainly test the audio tonight...
 
When listening - I will probably be word processing or browsing the NET - but when I tested it last weekend - I simply let the audio play and I didn't use the PC at all...
 
I did see some settings in BIOS for USB - and hi-speed something or other - I didn't pay much attention to it - because I was doing the speed stepping disabling...
 
I could always get more RAM - but I think what I have ought to be enough...
 
Anyway - I will have more to say in the next 12 hopefully...

 

[Roller]

Word processing is fine, browsing the internet not so much. The issue is that network adapters, specially wireless ones introduce various amounts of latency. At least when you're working, try to use internet as little as possible.
 
USB ports (yours are USB 2.0, I assume) should always be at hi-speed, the full 480Mbps capacity.
 
You shouldn't get more memory, at least for this issue, as it won't help since you already have a comfortable amount to avoid any issues related to really low amounts of memory, such as 1GB or below.
