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 - 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

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:

thinks that the offending device's drivers can be fixed.

IOS 7, when I plug my phone to my desktop, window xp, I can only see the photos that I took this morning, over 2000 photos in my phone can not be seen right now, can anyone help?

I have just update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, everythings gone smooth, however, when I plug my phone to my desktop, window xp, I can only see the photos that I took this morning, over 2000 photos in my phone can not be seen right now, can anyone help?

Try to connect in recovery mode to restore, without using the latest backup, explained here:

Outlook Web App - Distribution Lists (Your Request can not be completed right now. Please Try again Later).

We just migrated over to Exchange 2013 and have a few issues. The main concern is users and their individual distribution lists didn't carry over correctly. I narrowed it down to the lists that users received via an email, then dragged-n-dropped
onto their Contact area. All other individual contacts and other lists can be viewed/edited, its just the ones that was copied via an email into their contacts. We get the message that "Your request can not be completed right now. Please
try again later." This is an important asset to be able to pass distribution lists from one user to another user (per department); but don't want to make the list a global list. These distribution lists can be seen if using the full outlook
version; but won't display in OWA.

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

Itouch - USB device not recognized and Itouch now no longer works

I'm now on my 3rd Itouch since December all due to the same problem. All seemed to be going well with my 3rd replacement Itouch. Having loaded most of my cd collection into ITunes the night before I was going on holiday I synced my Itouch. Some sort of automatic download took place I think from Microsoft and suggested my drivers were being updated. Next thing I got message to restore my Itouch to factory settings. I did this and all the problems I had with my previou Itouch's started again.
When I now plug my Itouch into my laptop it says "USB device not recognized" and the Itouch will not switch on. I've done everything including reinstalling Itunes, holding down the power and home key but to no avail. Looks like I'm going to have to send my Itouch back again. I have a suspicion that a Microsoft download is corrupting the drivers. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I really like my Itouch but the fact it keeps failing leads me to wonder if I should opt for something else.

I had success with the holding down the keys and connecting to usb and using itunes to restore firmware like they show here

Emu 0404 usb

When I bought this I thought it was great and I still do. I used it with WinXP Pro and had great results. Since I upgraded to Win 7, I'm not so happy. I don't understand why Creative or EMU have left their PRO products go. There's no way that sound cards can be making them any money because most motherboards are producing sound that is way better they can at a profit. It's beyond me that they are not in the 64 bit sound card pro business. My 0404 was pumping out 24bit/ 196Mhz in windows XP Pro. RME is doing the same but at $500.00+. I don't get it. Can someone tell me why this.

EMU-0404 USB: Using different outputs in abelton?

Hello Community,
Can I use different outputs for my tracks in abelton live. I want to root the master-track to one stereo output, and new tracks together to the other outputpair for headphones, to hear the track sperated and NOT on the master, but on the front headphone-out is the same signal as on the output on the back
When I start Abelton an configurate my in and outputs. I got 4 output-fields activated!
1 (mono) & 2 (mono) | 1/2 (stereo)
3 (mono) & 4 (mono) | 3/4 (stereo)
On the master track i mapped
Master out 1/2
Cue Out 3/4
If i press the headphone-button on a track i can se the signal in cue out 3/4 in the master track, but i cannot hear anything on the headphones. The EMU headphone out on front got the same signal as the outputs on the backside.
Which output gets the signal?

0404USB has 4 mono input ports and 4 mono output ports which are 2 analog and 2 digital ports.
As the headphone output DAC is shared with 2 analog outputs, you can't do what you're describing without routing the digital signal through some external D/A Converter using S/PDIF path.
IIRC. there's a picture in User's guide showing the signal paths for this device.

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?

I have a 4s...today, for no apparent reason, I am missing data including, calendar appts, notes, contacts and maybe other things that I am not aware of right now. I did nothing to cause this. Any ideas on how to restore?

I seem to have lost a significant amount of data from calendars (ll appts are gone), notes (a good percentage are gone) and contacts (more than 50% are gone). I have done nothing to cause this. Any ideas how I might restore everything?

try turning the phone off and then back on it worked for me.

IOS7 - not so good right now.

Downloaded the IOS7 on a iphone 4s. When deleting voicemail my phone will freeze and/or the deleted voicemail will reappear. This is not an intermittent problem it occurs on a regular basis and also can't pause a voicemail deleted.

I usually hear about this when the user has done an over-the-air iOS update. The only way to back out of it is through a firmware update or "DFU."
Connect to a computer with internet access and the latest version of iTunes. Perform a backup first and myou should be able to restore from the backup after DFU.
Press and hold both the sleep/wake button and the home button for ten seconds.
After ten seconds, continue holding the home button, but let go of the sleep/wake button.
The iPhone should go dark and you should see a popup on the computer. It should say, "iTunes has detected a device in Recovery Mode. . ." If there is no popup and the iPhone shows the Apple logo, you can immedeately try again. It often takes an experienced user two or three attempts before the device successfully enters recovery mode.
Follow all of the popups and a new version of iOS will be installed. If your issue was firmware, you should feel free to restore from the backup. If the issue returns, that means it was a software issue. In that case, you'll need to do another DFU and restore the iPhone as a new device.

After doing a complete restore of my phone to get it back to factory settings I am not getting error 0eX800000A indicating my iphone 5 cannot be connected. Please help, my phone is not really usable right now.

After doing a complete resotre of my phone to get back to factory settings I can no longer connect it to iTunes. It gives error 0ex800000A. I am working off of Windows 7.

Not liking iTunes right now!

Ok, I had some video's in my iTunes that didn't work. So I thought maybe if I go to the apple site and look in support, I'll find out how to get them to work. It told me to sync the video's. So I did. GREAT!!! Now all of my 487 songs are gone and none of the video's will work! To make things better, I can't put any music that I had in my iPod back on it. Somebody please help me. Btw, I have a 4 gig 3rd gen nano.
