Soundcard woes with emu 0404

I have a Emu 0404 usb soundcard and its not on the list of cards from /proc/asound/cards. I know that for most people, at least in ubuntu, the card works when you plug it in. I had previously gotten it working by installing the alsa-driver from source, but after a recent upgrade this no longer works. I have tried recompiling and installing the alsa-driver but there are multiple errors when compiling. Can anyone help me getting this working?
Also if at all possible I'd like to try installing this patch from the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888022&page=18

update and bump.
I put snd-emu10k1 into the Modules list in rc.conf and the sound card is now shows up in the list of soundcards in alsamixer. snd_emu10k1 however still doesn't appear when I run lsmod.

I've tired compiling the alsa-driver from source however I get many errors. The error originally happened when I ran "./configure" it couldn't find a few "*.h" files. Using "./configure --with-kernel=/usr" configure works. But when I run "make" I get a bunch or errors "no such file or directory" with a lot of header files.
Any ideas?

Need help with Emu 0404 and DSP Effects

Hi,
This might be a bit of a noob question, but I'm completely new to the world of recording and effects. I have the Emu 0404 PCI soundcard and I'm trying to record sth with the DSP effects. I used the standard settings with ASIO send (PCI Card in L) and added effects, but when I use a recording program only the clean signal is recorded. I tried moving the send insert at the end of the list, but that didn't help. So how can I record sth with the DSP effects? I couldn't really find anythinguseful in the help file.

I have the same issue, anyone know a way around this? I have
a image i wish to grow onmouse over, then using the same behavior
but shrink with mouseout, it gets some wierd issues, like if you
put the mouse in between it oscillates back and forth, its not
smooth.

Problem with Emu 0404 soundcard

Hi!
I want to connect my E-MU 0404 soundcard, with my Macbook pro 2011. The problem which appear is that the computer not syncs with my soundcard, and when i´m trying to record, the computer starts to record from the computer microphone. Do anybody know what i am supposed to do to make this thing work?
Regards from Sweden

EMU 0404 Problems -- need help please

Any help to my current issue would be greatly appreciated.
I recently bought the EMU PCI card on its own.
Im runnin a brand new top of the range pc on windows XP (im new to XP, windows 2000 and a mac user originally - so i may have just missed something)
But on my old windows 2000 machine with the standard on board soundcard, when i went to my sound settings (speaker in the corner) then, Properties > Recording....... i got a list of several options, such as - Line in, Stereo mix, wave out, etc...
In the past i used the stereo mix setting to stream music to potential customers via msn messenger, obviously streaming what my soundcard played.
After installing this soundcard, i now have no stereo mix or anything previous, only WAVE which i cant select or control the volume for, maybe because its on xp?? is there a way to record and stream (via msn) what your soundcard plays using the EMU 0404? i also used this setting to record sounds of the internet etc... Surely im being stupid? with an expensive upgrade to this soundcard from crappy on board? surely?
If so any help would be massivly appreciated...
Thanks in advance

Thank you for you speedy reply mate.
Ive read the link you provided aswell as several other sites and the manual.
For some reason having the emu selected and enabled in the hardware settings instead of the on board soundcard it takes away all the recording settings in windows as i mentioned before.
Simply i can record with this soundcard, i just want to stream what my soundcard plays through msn, also wherever i look the only option for playback and recording i have is E-DSP Wave [Df00]....... ive gone throughout the patchmix, tried near every setting to stream what my soundcard plays.. im lost
cheers

EMU 0404 PCI and XP64 Bit, strange problem

Hi,
I have Windows XP 64 Bit and the EMU 0404 PCI soundcard. I'm experiencing a problem whereby sound works on the computer upon startup for approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours and then stops working and starts randomly playing sound from the left or right.
I have tried so many things, i have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the corresponding drivers but to no success. I have tried putting the soundcard in a different slow but still to no success.
I really do hope someone can help me out with this frustrating problem

Had the exact same problem on my 1820M in XP x64. See this thread for the workaround:

EMU 0404 Patch Mix DSP Questions.

Hi all,
This is pretty simple, and I haven't had a chance to really look through the manual completely but one time. I have the system completely setup the way I would like it to run at the moment(althought I haven't hooked up any external instruments for recording yet... other then my turntables) and, I'm working my way through the dsp plug-ins. I find some of them very useful (at least for experimentation for now). I was going to attempt to run a few mixes through the DSP plug ins that come with the mixer, but I'm not excatly sure how that is supposed to work with this system. Now, here are my questions:
I currently use logic audio, and I was wondering which way I can impliment these plug-ins into my current setup.
I also have an old version of Sound Forge. I normally do not use it much, but I was wondering if anything that I applied to the dsp mixer is automatically applied to any recording that I play. So if I put a plug-in for 3 band EQ, and then record in Forge/Logic, the same settings will automatically apply to each program during recording. Or are these plug-ins only applied to playback? And if it is only applied to playback, I would assume that I can not automate any of the settings. Or if I can, what program(s) would I have to use to automation the settings?
Thanks in advance,
chuck

I've gone thru all possible settings in the patch mix and I'm not able to record any audio or midi using Cool Edit Pro II, Sonar 3, or Fruity Loops 4.5.
I can play audio and midi and I can hear the audio that is patched through the soundcard inputs but I can not record anything.
Please give me any information available related to recording and I'll be glad to weed through it. I've looked at the information on theEMU website and I've downloaded all updates available for Windows XP.
Sorry, but no help from me. Have you checked/asked at the Production Forums - Unofficial E-MU -forum already?

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

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 and Creative 5.1 Speakers

Please help me...
I 've just bought an Emu 0404 but i don't know how can connect it to my 5.1 Creative speakers system...
I think i need some sort of "special" cable...but what?
I don't have enough money to buy two monitors...

Eric,
Which particular Creative speaker do you have? Most or all of our newer soundcard is able to support 5.1 or higher speaker system. Which soundcard do you have in mind to purchase now?

Emu 0404

Does anyone know of a DVD-Audio player available for the EMU 0404? I purchased a DVD of classical music formatted in the DVD-Audio standard and it ran fine in Windows Media Player. I suspect, however, that Windows Media Player was playing the music at 44.1 Khz or 48Khz by 16 bits rather than 48Khz at 24 bits. I checked the Windows Media Player web-site and it does not appear to support the DVD-Audio standard. Does anyone know if the Creative Labs DVD-Audio player will work with the EMU 0404?

Hey Stepn, I don't know if this will fix your problem but I had a similar problem and it worked for me. Check In your preferences, MIDI Filters and uncheck everything except sysex, you should get sound. Hope this helps.

Drivers EMU 0404 UB

Hello,
I have constant problems running EMU 0404 USB with various programs such as Cubase or Battery 3. I tried it on Windows Vista and XP as well. XP acts better, but still there are problems with audio (sound often goes crazy or EMU just hangs whole system. What do I have to do to run it properly on Vista or XP, on the page there is no place to find current drivers. Where I can find latest drivers for EMU 0404 USB Vista 32??
Please help,

Forte Ensemble + EMU 0404 or Audigy 2

Excuse me but i don't speak English very well!
I have tried Forte Ensemble DEMO with VST PLUGINS!
My DAW machine:
CPU -> P4 HT - 3Ghz - 1MB Cache
RAM -> 4 Gbyte
HD -> 1 HD for WinXP , 2 HD in RAID0 for Sample
Mobo -> ASUS P4C800 E-Deluxe (internal audio is disable)
Audio -> EMU-0404 (1 year ago was Audigy 2)
HypeThrading and ACPI are enabled,and all devices that i don't use
are disabled (serial and parallel port,etc etc).
I use this machine only for Music,and the system is very very optimized!
The EMU ASIO driver use more CPU than Creative ASIO Driver (from Audigy 2)!
I have tried to use in my DAW machine at first only Audigy 2,and when
i use B4 II DEMO VST Plugin i have seen this value:
- VST working -> CPU [10%..14%] Usage (very Good)
- VST standby -> CPU [3%..4%] Usage (very Good)
When i try tu use only EMU 0404 (without Audigy 2 installed on system),
with fresh WinXP and all new driver update, i have obtained this value:
- VST working -> CPU [20%..25%] Usage !
- VST standby -> CPU [17%..19%] Usage !
Why this EMU ASIO driver use more CPU ?
This is not good for me when i use more Plugin.
When i change scene in Forte Ensemble the DAW is very slow to change scene
with EMU but is fast with Audigy2 !
For me there is a very big problem in EMU Driver! Update Please!
1) Is EMU professional or not?
2) Why in the year 2006 i can not to install
2 audio card,EMU 0404 and Audigy2, in the same system ?
3) Why both card share the same DLL,Driver,etc with the same name ?
Read this from brainspawn forum:
http://www.brainspawn.com/forum/view...hlight=proteus

I suppose, the difference in CPU usage you're talking 'bout, is mostly coming from used latency and audio 'resolution' settings.
If you think that the ASIO driver is culprit for CPU usage, simply try w/ Asio4All.
BTW, what are you going to do w/ Forte?
I tried this demo too a while ago and the result were total freezings (W2k). From other alternatives I've tried, energyXT, Plogue Bidule and Hermann Seib's VSTHost runs w/o problems. If you use DX plug-ins too then Acon DM's EffectChainer is good addon for those.

EMU 0404 for Vista 64

OK:
The writing is on the wall: XP is not where the market is. Its VISTA or VISTA 64. I have a EMU 0404 running on what is now a 'legacy' operating system, but would love to run it on a new computer. I cant because the PCI EMU 0404 card I have seems to lack the drivers.
Is this something they are working on now? Lack of drivers will certainly kill this card shortly, as you cant buy a new decent computer without Vista.
The production life of my computer is no more than 2 more years: am I looking at a new card at that time???

vi$ta $uck$,
it sucks hardware
it sucks your wallet for upgrades to hardware
it sucks your rights as a basement hack to semi-pro musician who just wants to record your music and burn it to CD for your friend's or to take to a studio and re-master to get "pressed CD's"
it sucks your ability/right to use your PC the way you want to use it including watch a movie download or DVD you "paid for" or listen to your CD/MP3 collection without it spying on you to see if there is a copyright violation while playing and checking for "copyright" bytes in the data stream etc.
it sucks your freedom to keep your PC a virus, spyware, adware, malware, free machine by "Forcing you online" to Verify you have a "Legal" copy of vista
it suck your ability to upgrade, if you buy a preloaded machine you can't transfer it to another machine, period, if you pull the hard drive from the box because your processor or board cooked you have to go and lease another copy of vi$ta.
its DRM strangle hold on you is so tight that if it even appears that you have protected content you will lose the ability to play it, view it, email it to your friends etc. a friend of mine has this vi$ta junk and she can't email her photos she took with her own camera and copied to the pc because they appear to vi$ta as though she aquired them illegally.
the list goes on and on and it only gets worse...
and I hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime but the technology has been there since the MS-DOS days, it's called "thin client" networking, and what that means is that in a "thin client" network environment nothing is installed on the "work station" and all programs, data files local settings and even most of the OS is run from a huge network server's hard drive(s) and the box on the desk has nothing in it but the motherboard the sound & video cards, and the network adaptor. And as soon as the WWW gets a little faster, within the next 2-3 generations of window OS you will start your PC and it will immediately call Redmond WA and you will load windows from there, and the only thing that will be on your machine is your local settings that identify your hardware config and your "personal" data files, which wont be "personal" by that time.
try recording with one of those!
Cheers

Emu 0404 and windows 7

Is my old emu 0404 (not usb) usable with windows 7? So far I cannot get sound with it. I have a dell xps7100 64bit.
Dell came out and replaced the motherboard which allowed windows to recognize the card but I still cannot get sound to my speakers. Should I buy a new card or interface?

Hi,
There's a beta driver you might want to give it a try.

EMU 0404: no sound playin' DVD- video.

Used to work about a year on EMU 0404, but only recently wanted to play DVD, and there was no sound and no input signal on PatchMix Wave Host. I would be grateful if somebody could explain me how I should route it from DVD drive. I can play CDs, Video CDs and MPEG4 without any problem.
Message Edited by Genka on 07-28-200707:26 PM

Dave -
Well, would you look at that? That's why I put the pics up. I've since pulled the 0404 out of one computer and put it another so I could use it. Now, out of complete curiosity - I'm going to have reinstall it into the original machine to see if I simply overlooked the obvious as it's working perfectly in the second machine.
Weird.
Thanks, for the reply!
