Vista 64 + 4 gig RAM + Asus Nforce4 SLI-Premium = Crackl

The new driver has not solved the issues im having with the crackling sound. Ive done about five reinstallations of my windows and nothing changes. Any ideas Besides getting a new soundcard...

This topic has been beaten to death over the past year and the only real, working solution is that you need a new sound card. I fought with the crackling for over a year and couldn't take it anymore. I recently broke down and bought a new sound card and haven't had any problems since. I know that's probably not the answer that you were looking for.

Asus A8N-SLI Premium and X-FI Platinum no so

So i know this is a known problem but I haven't found a solution yet and don't want to read through the 00 page post on this topic where everyone gets off topic. I have a Asus A8N-SLI Premium with a X-FI Platinum. I have installed the latest BIOS with Asus' update thing. I cannot get the driver off the internet to work because it crashes when it is decompressing. The X-FI card is installed in the second PCI slot, which I read is the slot that works? I have everything installed (driver that came in box) and I get no warning in device manager, but I still get no sound. Can anyone tell me what to do?Asus wouldn't help me. and I guess I can't call Creative because I have had this card for more than 60 days. It was on my old machine and it worked.

This is what I put on the ASUS site. <span class="content">Hello to all,
So I bought this motherboard because my other one (LanParty) would run my memory in dual channel. I spent alot of time trying to get it to but it just wouldn't. So I caved in and bought an ASUS motherboard because of there good reputation of making quality products.
I have a Creative X-Fi Platinum sound card. It work flawlessly with my LanParty mobo but I have not been able to make it work with this ASUS mobo. I have read alot about it and I know that ASUS and Creative know it is a problem. I however have not been able to find a solution. I know there is a way because going through these forums people have said "well it works with mine" but they never give any specs on what is on, what PCI slot, etc etc. I have tried everything you can possibley imagine. I have tried a full reload of the whole system (about 6 times). I have tried different PCI slots. On board sound is disabled. I tried to do some ACPI setting for the computers device driver but it crashes my system.
Here is what I have now.
Bios version 302.
Sound Card is in PCI slot 2 (2 slots down from where video card goes)
Was there a BIOS fix for this problem? What BIOS was it's
What is the best slot for the card? (I don't have IRQ conflicts)
Can anyone help me? I have nice 5. surround and want good sound to be coming out.
If you have this board and this card can you give me some info on what is configured?
Thanks

Overclocking MSI NX7800GT on Asus A8n-SLI Premium

I am looking for suppgestions and ways to improve my system performence. Ajustments have been made to RAM per Corsair forum to ideal 2-3-3-6 at 2.75 settings. The MOBO's FSB is bumped from 200 to 206 FSB giving me 2266GHz.
What (If anything) can I do to increase the performence of my NX7800GT?
My system is water cooled using a Vantec StingRay setup.
Thanks

bearcat245,
You can install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers and use the latest Coolbits to unlock the overclocking features of the Drivers.

Asus A8N-SLI Premium sound card probl

I have the SB Audigy2....does anyone know if this card will work on this MB. For some reason I can't get the MB? to even detect the card....Mike

Yes it shows the question marks in the system control pansl. But if I select reinstall drivers it searchs the disk it still won't let the drivers go in. At first I thought I had a bad MB slot or the MB. was bad so I sent it back. They sent me another and same problem. I also brought another MB thinking it was that style and same thing happened. On my old system all I did was install the card slip in the disk and install what I wanted from the disk. When I install the disk now all it will let me do is pick what program I want to install to listen to what is on the CD. The sample programs.. I must be stupid here or something because I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't install. Out of all the computers I have built this is the first time I have seen this happen. That is why I wanted to know if someone else has this problem on the Asus MB. When I contacted Asus support he said after three MB I might wanna sheck with SB to see why this is happening or if this sound card will work with the MB. There is no way three boards are bad..lol....going nuts, Mike

X-fi xtreme gamer fatal1ty conflict with Asus A8N SLI Premium Mobo with Nvidia nForce chip

i have had my x-fi for a few months now and ever since installing it there have been constant system hiccups, blue-screens, and performance locku
ps.
my system was perfect running the audigy 2, but the x-fi is messing everything up.
i have read about the conflicts with the nvidia chipsets and the x-fi drivers and have yet to find a solution. i love the quality of the sound from the card but i cant deal with these issues any longer and am going to return it if there is not some sort of solution.
it seems this problem is well known and has been for quite some time, i cant understand why creative hasnt released a patch for the drivers of the card.
if anyone has any suggestions for me i would really appreciate it so i dont have to yank the card out and return it to newegg.
thanks very much.
-Art

In all seriousness, return the card. Do it NOW because you still have the chance to. Don't wait until it's too late.
Then after that, if you are curious why I say that, do some searches about other issues everyone is having and Creative not being very responsi've.
Search (either here or use Google for external websites) for "ha20x2k.sys" and "BSOD" (or a combination of both). "Crash" and "BF242" or even other games such as WoW and CoH - just be (pun not intended) creative.
Don't be like the others here (like myself), who own a very expensi've paper weight. Sure you can continue to use it for listening to music, but that's like buying a sports car and just being able to use the stereo.Message Edited by naddie on 04-2-200706:54 AM

XFi No Sound on Asus a8n-sli prem

hello
I am encountering a horrible problem.
My specs:
athlon xp 3800+
asus a8n-sli premium bios revison 0., 6.7 chipset drivers
evga 7800gtx
X-Fi Fatality
With a fresh install of windows, i cannot get any sound at all. Originally i notice the video card and the sound card sharing the same IRQ every time and i moved it XFi physically around (different PCI slots) and made sure they each had their own IRQ number.
Despite all my attempts i cannot get any sound out of the card. I disabled the onboard sound and any other ports im not using.
Im really out of ideas and not sure what to do. Mobo has been flashed to latest bios and latest chipset drivers installed. Fresh copy of win xp and im pretty sure everything is correct in the bios. There was newer Evga drivers released this morning and ill install them later but i dont think they are the problem.

Please Help,

Brian,
This problem is a little hard to pinpoint. When you
say this code works on a Windows 2000 and Windows XP machine do you run it with
the exact same card, or with another DAQ card? From the code you provided
it looks like you are using the device to generate a pulse train. Are you
able to run any other code that generates a pulse train? You might try
the code located here:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DFFB56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=201235
Are you able to perform other types of operations with this device, perhaps
analog input? If you only use Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)
to create a pulse train, does your computer freeze? You can test the analog
input and pulse train generation through MAX by expanding Devices and
Interfaces >> Traditional NI-DAQ and selecting your device. Next
select Test Panels and either Analog Input or Counter I/O. What version
of Traditional DAQ are you running? If it is an older version, does upgrading
your driver help?
Finally, if you still have DAQmx installed (or if you can install it) can you
generate a pulse train in test panels?

X-Fi Xtreme & Asus A8N-SLI Del

I've checked messages concerning X-Fi and nForce4 motherboards.
Here are my specs
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (rev. A3) BIOS revision 05 (0/2/2005)
Athlon64 3500+ s939 Venice
2GB (2xGB) Corsair PC3200 3-3-3-8 (dual channel)
(SLI) NVIDIA 7800 GT
X-Fi Xtreme
SG Barracuda 20GB 7200.7
Plextor PX-740A
Enermax WhisperII SLI Power
Windows XP SP2
PROBLEM:
Computer shuts down, with no error message or event log entry, at random times during Windows XP usage (games, internet usage, Guitar Port usage, etc...)
Read on...
Computer shuts down during POST before CPU recognition message is displayed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
After problem first presented itself, I tried to recreate. It obviously did... at completely RANDOM and ethereal-like times.
I then pulled all hardware from the case and placed upon my workbench. I built the computer with the following: Mobo, CPU, Vid card, X-Fi, DIMM. Problem recreated.
I began pulling hardware by and started with the X-Fi (the ONLY un-needed component) and the problem failed to present itself.
I then added DIMM at a time. Problem still failed to present.
I then added the other video card. Problem did not present.
I then hardware configued for SLI. Problem did not present.
I then added the X-Fi. Problem presented once more.
CONCLUSION:
After the process listed above, any troubleshooter would find the X-Fi to be the cause of the problem.
I can find no entries ANYWHERE on the Asus site.
MORE HISTORY:
When the computer is working (for instance, playing a game) the sound works, AND HOW! And then I lose power to the system.
This is my first post ever, here, and my first post on this issue. I will edit as issues change and I apply more troubleshooting.

let us know how you make out.....
seems like you've tried most everything that makes sense... Seems like, from what I've read, that this card had some issues early on.. and they've come out with a bios flash to address some problems... You may want to check in with support to see if this applies in your case.. (I think there is a way to check you're sound cards revision number to see if you have a card requiring this fix)...
I am inclined to think its a hardware issue with your particular xfi card at this point... but I wouldn't totally rule out a compatability issue with your card using the NF4 setup you've described.. Based on my readings in the past, the NForce4 platform has been somewhat finicky with certain hardware combinations.. including psu's, NCQ HDD dri'ves and audigy soundcards...
Interestingly , I remember there was a big debate regarding the use of dual rail psu's with twin SLI cards in use, particular for the 6800 series and higher cards.. I believe ASUS recommended a PSU with rated minimally for 25a on the +2v rail.. with a total rating of 500w or more. (Not sure what it would be for your setup using the new 7800 cards). The debate was whether or not using 2 graphics cards in SLI mode would create a demand for more amperage than one of the dual rails feeding it could provide .. (in your case, I think your psu provides 8a across each of the 2 rails).. Since dual rails are isolated from each other to better protect the cpu , etc.. the board can't simply borrow from the 2nd 2v rail to meet its demands.. So folks argued that if running with 2 graphics cards in SLI mode, then you may be better off buying a PSU with a single rail having a higer rating.. (e.g. 33a) ... Not sure if a consensus was ever reached on that issue.. you may want to check with ASUS on that one... I thought you mentioned that you already tried running with a single card, so this may not apply in your case .. assuming the issue using dual rail psu's is even a valid one....

Express 8 on a G5 Dual 2.0, 7 gigs Ram, TIger

I'm considering purchasing Express 8 to use on my G5..dual 2.0, 7 gigs RAM in Tiger 10.4.11.
Currently using an Alesis io 14 interface without any problems into Cubase LE 4
Was wondering if anyone can provide some input as to performance issues?
I've read online that some were having issues on various G5's early on..others weren't
Have any issue been resolved, or, were there ever any issues?
also..I run a seperate drive with OS&Apps only and I write to an external SATA drive controlled by a PCI SATA controller (Firmtek/Seritek hardware..very good )
Input appreciated..thanks
Pete

Well I'm sure that Apple have designed Logic to use the Mac's resources as efficiently as possible as you suggest. I can't tell you what the workable limits are because I haven't reached them yet. With my limited RAM I'm sure I'd have a problem if I wanted to record numerous tracks at once, but I don't work like that so it doesn't matter to me.
I have some songs with half a dozen audio tracks and 7 or 8 software instruments (external MIDI tracks as well but there's not much required in the way of resources for those) - they all have EQ and often three or four other plug-ins on each track and usually delay or reverb on a bus or two. There's the ability to freeze tracks (i.e. bounce them down to an audio file to limit processor usage - they can be unfrozen if you want to change them) - I really haven't had to use this feature using my G5. I also keep the multiband compressor and a limiter on the main output.
You can monitor processor usage (it shows like two bar graphs, one for each processor) and most of the time mine shows one processor being used about 50-75% and the other only about 10-20%, although admittedly its not something that I'm checking all the time. If you want to concentrate on recording audio in particular then Pro Tools may be better for loads of tracks -its been around for a long time and was designed to run reliably on much less powerful computers than we have now - I don't have much experience of it myself though.
Hope that helps.

Windows 8 64bit not compatible w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor and/or ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard.

Why should I have to go through a plethora of troubleshooting techniques, then have to settle for using the Windows 8/ 32bit install CD, when I have a 64bit system? I think it's probably something in the Windows
8 /64bit code that causes it to fail install w/ AMD Athlon 64bit processor, and/or my ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard. After a lot of hassle I tried the Windows 8 /32bit CD and that seems to work fine. My real question is, why should I have to settle
for 32bit on a 64bit system?

I had the same experience trying to install Window 8 Pro 64bit (Build 9200) on an old XP SP3 32bit system, but I somehow got it working; the full story.
I had two XP Sp3 32 bit systems I wanted to upgrade to Window 8 Pro 64 bit (with the $40 upgrade deal available now). System#1 is: I7 920/Asus P6T deluxe/EVGA 560Ti/3GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/1.44 Floppy/ 12X Bluray burner (pulled the old TV tuner card for
upgrade-incompatible). I ran the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - very few issues (TV Tuner card as mentioned and other software) - bought the upgrade. Downloaded the upgrade from my Win7Pro 64bit system to obtain the 64bit ISO (2.69GB) - burned to DVD. Installed
from DVD; no problems, finished in under 20 minutes - working great (really fast boot!).
System#2 is: Opteron 180/Asus A8N-E/EVGA 275GTX/2GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/ 1.44 Floppy/ 16X DVD RW burner; the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - more incompatible software than system#1, but no incompatible hardware. I had read a number of blogs concerning the issues
others were having with the upgrade failing, so before I purchased, I thought I would run the 64bit install DVD I had (known to work on the other system) to see if it worked. I should note this system was not-in-use and thus I was not worried if the install
failed (I'd just be annoyed!). Ran the install from the DVD; initial splash screen - no spinning dots - waited 15 minutes (by which time no activity on DVD or hard drive) - failure. Rebooted - entered bios (1010) - tried many combinations of settings up to
disabling nearly everything (NVRAID, Legacy USB, Floppy, Audio97- all disabled / moved SATA into every slot (1-4) / tried SATA 150 and SATA 300 (SATA2, slots 3-4) - no change - failure X4 attempts. Now original XP3 installation is corrupted (GRRRR!) - I should
have imaged the drive BEFORE - oh well. Read more about others experience with this seemingly NForce board-related issue. Plan B - I will try install with an IDE (PATA) hard drive (80GB) - failure. Read more - some mention Window 8 installer not "liking" XP
partitions / disks (???); Plan C - Re-partition / format / check 80 GB IDE drive with WDTools - attempted Win8Pro install - failure. Dejected; last attempt before considering Win8Pro 32bit - Plan D - Re-partition / format / check 1 TB SATA 300 drive with SeaTools
(Barracuda 32GB buffer-7200rpm) - run Win8PRO 64bit install from DVD (build 9200) - success! Install took nearly an hour, with 3 reboots to the finish. Specifics (install configuration): 1 TB SATA drive in Slot 4 (SATA2), upgraded memory to 4GB Corsair PC3200
(4 slots filled), Two DVD drives on Primary IDE channel (master and slave), secondary IDE channel - no devices, bios (1010) - NVRAID, Audio97,1394 port,LAN -disabled; USB 2.0, USB Legacy, Floppy - enabled, IDE-Auto), TrendNet USB wireless adapter on USB slot
2 (motherboard), EVGA 275GTX in PCIe slot 1, no other cards. System seems to be performing well (fast boot times, no hangs), but as noted, no sound (I actually forgot to re-enable the Audio97 device in bios; it was 2am). I will see if I can get the Audio97
enabled today; my backup is to add a Turtle Beach Montego DDL PCI card (with the Windows7 64bit driver and run in compatiblity mode). Hope this saga might help some others out - good luck.

Will a new iMac 27 inch Quad i7 with only 4 gig RAM and 1 terabyte HD

Will this stock computer i7 Quad with the stock RAM and HD run Final Cut Studio 3 full suite effectively for basic HD editing from my new Canon hard drive/SD camcorder or should I immediately upgrade to 8 Gig RAM and 2 Terabytes HD to get the full benefit of this computer. I would like to upgrade them both later but I want 100% performance. I'm only editing 20 to 60 minute segments right now and only a few at a time and only one open at any given time.

I'm being told that "never" load your workflow into the same hard drive as your operating system. I'm sure that's an exact and professional statement and true, when possible. With this iMac you can't run and external hard drive and download effectively at the same time in order to bypass your internal hard drive because you have only one Firewire connection.USB 2 is supposed to pause and interrupts the flow so it is said to be ineffective for this purpose. I haven't found out yet about the SD card to an external hard drive but if it does I'm still being told that color correction cannot be added because it's in your external hard drive and the only solution is two hard drives in your computer to be able to effectively do all this and that is not an option with this current version of iMac..

Short Previews cause Need to Purge after each; 8 Gig Ram though!

I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and upgraded computers to a Win7 64 bit, i7 930, 8 Gig Ram. Upon initially doing a ram preview on my project, it works fine and fills up to the preset ceiling of about 6 Gig of ram. Subsequent previews, however, are a fraction of the length of the original, and looking at the memory monitor as I do this, it appears that AE is not starting from beginning of the ram but using whatever was left after the last preview, which depending on the the last preview, could leave almost no memory/preview time. If I purge all, it *somewhat* corrects the problem but not entirely. I can never again get the full length of the original preview unless I restart AE. This behavior seemed to start midway during the creation of the project.
I have updated my ATI drivers, checked all preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled AE, to no avail. Nor does it appear that AE is behaving as I have been used to for years, where ram previews merely update that portion of the work area that has been changed since last preview (I know that purge affects this, I'm saying when I don't do the purge). Maybe I'm missing something obvious, apologies if so.
Help very much appreciated!!

> I have also found overall that including audio in AE projects is a can of worms.
Especially if the audio is in AIFF format. If it is, transcode it to something else, like WAV. See this:

am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

Mark,
Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.
