I played around with the UDIAL sound (and yes, i know it can be dangerous to ears if played too loud , too many times), with both my Audigy 2 and E-MU 0404 , installed both together and separate.
I heard the sound from the 0404 should be clean, meaning you hear the dialing tones. Well, I can hear the dialing tones very good but there is also a "noise"-like sound.
Rega-Ear volume is at 13o'clock (like it says in the manual), and the E-MU mixer (Patch Mix), is at -26dB (about 1/3 up from min). This is a good listening volume, not loud at all. At this settings i hear clean tones, i cannot hear the "noise"-like sound.
At -18.51 (almost 1/2 mixer volume) , same Rega Ear volume, the "noise" is there. There are 7 easily distinctive dial "sounds". The first 3 played in a quicker tempo (sounds like the same tone, too), sound CLEAN. After the 3rd tone , I hear this "noise" in the background (noise volume is a lot lower than the tones volume, that's why I dont hear it at low volume listening).
Do you hear any other sounds than the dialing tone ? (Don't forget not to repeat it too often and not to play it too loud , because it's dangerous to ears and equipment!)
just for testing, if i change the internal clock of the 0404 to 48khz, the UDIAL sounds terrible , with -louder than the tones- "alien like" sounds. NOW, something interesting: if i run the software resampler from foobar, resampling at 48khz, 0404 internal clock at 48khz, the result i hear is a bit CLEANER than the original setting (internat clock at 44khz , no software resampling ). The noise is also there, but the noise volume is a bit lower (maybe i am wrong).
Does this make sense ? Since the cleanest sound should come from the 44khz clock with no resampling at all... I mean this is why i bought the e-mu in the first place, because there should be no internal resampling.
I run the E-MU with the original drivers from the CD, and I think i know how to change the internal clock , with settings in PatchMix DSP
, output is Kernel Streaming.
With the Audigy and no software resampling it sounds with loud alien sounds again, because of the internal resampling. WITH software resampling it sounds about the same like the e-mu with 44khz internal clock, no resampling. (the low volume noise).
Somehow i expected to hear a difference with a test signal like that ... any ideas ? Does this mean i cannot hear differences between the foobar software resampler and the E-MU with 44khz - no resampling ?
