EMU 0404 USB - DS driver and sample rate autoswitchng

It looks like autoswitching works well until output is going through the ASIO driver. With output switched to DS the "sample rate" option in control panel becomes grey and do not change its value to reflect source sample rate.
Assume nothing is playing via e-mu then I can switch Fs manually in audio control panel to say 96 kHz. Then I start playing some 44.1 wav via foobar + DS out. "sample rate" in audio control panel doesn't reflect 44.1 and remains greyed with Fs = 96.
Is it feature or bug?
What is going out from SPDIF in such case: bit perfect 44.1 or 96 with SRC?

Hmm... there are plenty of possible reasons for this ...here are couple of them (not mentioned in your list of suggestions given by Creative support)
- multicore support could be one culprit (I don't know if the FL has this option but if you use (IIRC) Cubase 3-> )
- on Cubase, another possible culprit is an option named as Lower latency ... disable this feature
- some background process starts after some period (E-MU USB is quite sensitive for these) ... run the DPC Latency Checker utility (just google the name to get it downloaded)
Does Coscos Reaper (google the name) give same issue?

Emu 0404 USB - No sound thru headphones at the front - and very low volume

I can't get sound thru the headphones at the front of my Emu 0404 USB to monitor playback and recording. At the back, however, I can connect my headphones and also obtain sound but at a low level.
In sound settings the volume option is greyed, so no help there. I am using the Emu Asio ....otherwise the card seems good quality.

Do you mean you can't control volume in your software or system master volume controller at all? This normally means that you have not selected the system audio play/recording devices correctly or you have set output mode to bit-matched.
Also,
- you have a switch for Direct monitoring on top of the 0404 box
- w/ Some software, you can't enable direct monitoring in siftware settings

My EMU 0404 USB is not my friend right now.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?
I have a EMU 0404 USB connected to a USB 2.0 pci card (usb controller?). My computer is a 1.4 GHz Athlon processor and my motherboard is a Asus A7M2666. I have 756 DDR ram installed and run windows XP.
Basically the problem is that everything is very slow when I use this card. I have problem running my software synths (for example Korg Legacy Collection synths). I have tried many different settings and some works better than others. Nothing, when I ran everything on my crappy onboard sound card then I had no problems at all.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Hi There,
I would say the issue is quite clearly not enough CPU power and memory.
Your on-board audio would be a 16bit audio at around 41kbps tops, moving up to 24bit 96kps ( the EMU box ) would place way extra overhead on your system. As would the driver requirements for you PCI USB 2 card.
I run cubase and Korg legacy on a 1.8GHz Athlon XP, and I have found even with 1GB ram it craps out with one Korg and a hand full of plug-ins.
Sorry but the short answer is to update your system, go for a new intel core duo and at least 1GB of DDR2.
Cheers

EMU 0404 USB w SONAR 5 audio jitter

I just purchased EMU 0404 USB.
I configured SONAR 5 to see it.
I used a pre-recorded drum loop (ACID)
and recorded a guitar track
but I get audio jitter
what's the deal?

Have you attempted to contact Broadcom about this? My current take on such things:

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

Tony, Make sure you are in Songs view. Then View > Show View Options, and check the boxes for "Bit Rate" and "Sample Rate." See picture:

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a Folder on the desktop. Then drag that folder to the USB drive / or burn it to CD with the Finder's Burn command.

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

TS1717 when trying to import cd the following message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file"?

Trying to import cd when this message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file". Any suggestions?

Thanks so very much. I chose MP3 and Download and it is working beautifully. Have a wonderful day and it is so nice of you to get right back to me. I'm trying to cut a DVD for my grandson's grad party and I got most of the photos and didn't have any music since I lost everything in a clean install. Could hug you!

The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed.

I've always burned my purchased CDs into iTunes using a AAC 320 kbps and 48.000kHz. Now when I select that option in iTunes 9 I'm getting a "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed." pop up screen. So is it impossible to burn my albums in a 320kbps/48.000 AAC format?. I had no problems in previous versions of iTunes using this setting. I guess I might have to switch over using a MP3 import setting instead.

Audio CDs are encoded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Ripping them at 48 kHz requires resampling and does not improve the quality. Unless you have a special need for 48, use 44.1.

Booting from a USB Flash Drive and Optimizing Performance

I know that you can boot Leopard from a USB flash drive, and I have a 16GB flash drive I'm using as a bootup disk on this 2006 MacBook I have that has a broken hard drive (it was recalled, but the recall ended in 2010).
The problem is that it's very slow. I have about 8GB of free space on it, so it can't be the VRAM being too small. The USB speed just stinks. There must be ways to optimize the OS to run off of a slow drive by accessing data as infrequently as possible. What can I do to speed this up? Should I disable hard disk sleeping? Should I use some kind of Mac tuneup/optimization tool's feature?
I plan to get an internal hard drive for it, but I'm stuck with this for a while.

Not all USB2 Flash drives are equal, in fact I bought 2 16 GB USB drives for cheap, as along side of them were even the same brand 16 GB Flash Drives just a different model, for 5 times as much!
Me was thinking how bad could they be? Well, they could be 5 times worse than other USB2 flash drives... LOL on me!
They under extremely rare occasions will Read or Write at 5 MB/s, & very often 1 MB/s...
My Buffalo Flash drives do near USB2's top speed, see some diffs...

Optimizing yours will give little benefit.
You could also do a USB2 RAID0 setup if you have enough ports.

Emu 0404 USB Constantly Set to Mute By Volume Control

I had my emu 0404 running with my onboard sound for a short while (because the 0404 would not work with voice chat software such as ventrillo).
I have since disabled the onboard sound and uninstalled the driver, but now upon every reboot of my system the sndvolume32.exe (aka Volume Control icon on the taskbar) will set the Wave component of the emu 0404 to mute. I'd rather not have to open up volume control everytime i reboot to unmute my sound. I have tried going through my registry and deleting any remaining trace of the onboard sound (RealTek HD Audio) but no good. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the emu 0404 drivers many times, still no good. I'm also using XP 64-bit, but i don't know if that matters.
Can anyone tell me how I can stop volume control from setting the Wav output to mute upon rebooting?

Have you set the S/PDIF mode switch to coax and how 'bout monitoring settings? I've read some issues w/ those switches too (you may need to toggle On/Off couple of times to get switch working properly). There is also thei Unofficial E-MU Forum you can check/ask advicing - http://www.productionforums.com/index.php?f=52

IMac, MacBook Pro, 750GB USB Hard Drive and Time Machine

I have my external hard drive partitioned and directly connected to my iMac. Time Machine mounts and backs up one partition. I have the other partition configured to share off of the iMac. The MacBook Pro sees the partition in time machine but the back up fails every time. I understand that the drive won't allow the two Macs to back up at the same time, so I've shut off Time Machine on the iMac....still no success. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

So I have made some head way regarding this odd problem. Turns out my memory card reader is fine I think. My memory card reader will eject on the right port using a 4GB Lexar 133X professional CF card but NOT on the left USB port. However ALL 3 of my sandisk CF cards work fine in the reader on both USB ports. These 3 cards range from all different speeds from 15MB/sex to 30MB/sec. My lexar is 20MB/sec rated. Go figure!?
As for the Western Digital My passport USB 3.0 drive I have come to the conclusion its the drive and not the port. Reading through various forums on Anandtech, Apple Support and the Western Digital website forum many people have had issues with these drives on USB 3 ports on both Windows and on the Mac.

LaCie d2 195 GB USB hard drive and new iMac

Has anybody had a problem with a LaCie d2 drive that is connected via USB instead of FireWire? I have both types of external hard drives; the FireWire connected LaCie has worked flawlessly, as has a Seagate 300GB FireWire drive. But my poor little LaCie 195 GB USB hard drive bit the dust when I tried to copy my iPhoto library from it to the hard drive of my new iMac Intel Core. The entire Mac froze up, even though there was disk activity on the LaCie. After waiting for 25 minutes for the Mac to unfreeze, I finally manually powered down the system. Unfortunately this corrupted my LaCie disk, and it could not be repaired using Disk Utility. Even when I tried to repartition the drive, Disk Utility simply hung to the point where I had to do a Force Quit to get out of it.
I forgot to mention that I was connecting the LaCie through a powered USB 2.0 hub - that could be a source of the problem, but it worked flawlessly in my iMac G5. I did reconnect it directly to a USB port on the iMac, but still could not get Disk Utility to repartition the drive.
Luckily I had a secondary backup of my photo and music files, or I'd really be crying right now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
JD

My Firewire connected LaCie Bigdrive started disconnecting spontaneously with a complaint from the iMac that it was disconnected improperly.
Finally it did so once more and has not mounted via FW since. However, USB does mount it but big files take all day to transfer.
I took out the Maxator from the LaCie drive and put it in a FW/USB caddy, ok for a while then the same story. USB only mounting.
Informed with some confidence by a poster on Bombich's website
( http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?p=25658#25658 ) that it was the boot drive OS
Tried new cable. repaired boot drive disc, repaired permissions, ran DiscWarrior over it, repaired permisssions, ran downloaded 10.4.5 combo, ran DiscWarrior over it and finally repaired permissions again.
No Joy.
i would most appreciate useful suggestions.
