WinFast PVR2000 and Sound Blaster 24bit Live crackl

Hello dear colleagues.
I am monitoring the crackling issue with Sound Blaster cards for some time now.
I have Sound Blaster 24bit Li've sound card. It crackles rarely, every 5-0 minutes maybe one small crackle or peak pop.
When I am recording with Adobe Audition on LINE IN when crackle happens it is not recorded in the main signal so that is ok.
Now, I am using also WINFAST PVR 2000 cad (TV card).
When I am recording COMPOSITE or SVIDEO with WINFAST from time to time there are crackles which are unfortunately recorded inside the file too during the capture.
I am wondering has anyone noticed those crackles with WINFAST and 24bit li've...
I have by the way updated Bios, SIS video card driver, WINFAST PVR driver and Blaster 24 bit driver. They are updated but crackles with WINFAST are also there.
I am wondering is there maybe solution with some kind of latency setting for WINFAST card or Blaster card? They are all set as 32 by default.
Or there are some other solution. Any other WINFAST and 24bit users out there how are noticing similar problem with crackling during COMPOSITE and SVHS capture?

You can also check up this little Knowledgebase article SID4863 guide which may be helpful to you. Of cos, it still depend on the type of connector your TV have.

  • USB Live! Sound Blaster 24bit with poppi

    Hi. A month or two ago I purchased my usb connected Li've! Sound Blaster 24bit from CompUSA. It has worked fine with my logitech 5. speakers. Yesterday, I bought a 60gig Maxtor harddri've from compusa, also USB. Since I installed that, my sound has been having loud pop sounds once in a while, especially when data is being transfered to the harddri've. I have a 400watt powersuply, amd athlon single core processor, gig ram, onboard harddri've, a geforce nvida 7800gt graphics card. The video card has a printed requirement of 350watts. The harddri've has its own powercord, and the usb that connects it to my PC, and so do the logitech speakers I have both the sound blaster and the harddri've plugged into the rear of my PC.
    The poping sound happens about twice, then the sound blaster box makes a click sound and turns off. When I unplug, then plug it back in or press the mute button on it, it comes back on, but I have to restart whatever application that was playing the sound because it no longer works. For instance, if I'm listening to music on iTunes, and the card turns off, I have to close iTunes and reopen it or no sound will come from that application, same goes for media players, web based sound i.e. youtube. When the card turns off, the green and blue light on the front turn off, while I can still see a red glow from the 'optical output' slot.
    The only change I made with my PC is plugging in the harddri've. The popping/shutting off of the card happens both when I play sound thats stored on the external dri've, and stuff like my iTunes which is on my internal. The model number of my card is 580490 and the box had a sticker that said '5. home theater audio for your PC' plus another sticker that said '64 bit, Windows XP Pro x64'. I downloaded the drivers for this, but when I tried to apply them, it said they didn't need to be updated. I don't know how to uninstall them.
    Thanks, asukar

    AmusedToDeath,
    It's not referring to the cable. That information is referring to your computer USB controller. If your computer USB controller is only USB . then you will face the limitation.

  • 915p Combo and Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 - No Sound on live playback

    Has anyone attempted to install a (PCI card) PVR2000 onto a 915p Combo board and utilise the onboard sound rather than a dedicated Sound Card? I've attached the PVR card to the motherboard via the CD-In connector (JAUD1 or something), but only get sound when playing back captured TV or Radio. This suggests that the card is working, but the motherboard can't hear it through the connector. I've tried replacing the cable with one that definitely works and updated the Leadtek and Onboard Sound drivers, but to no avail.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Download the latest drivers for the C-Media soundchip, PVR2000 and the latest version of WinFast PVR. After that go to the Configuration Screen in Winfast and select CD-Player for Audio-in &Audio-out. In Cmedia Xear->Mixer select CD-Player in Rec and click the button that looks likea speaker (a hammer in earlier versions and select Monitoring).

  • R4388 Sound Blaster(R) Live!(TM) 24-bit Sound Card - Is it ASIO compati

    I am trying to configure my computer to allow my husband to run Sibelius (music software) on it. I am upgrading to GB RAM (using XP serv pack 2) and installing another 250GB hard dri've.But I am using the R4388 Sound Blaster(R) Li've!(TM) 24-bit Sound Card and according to the website of Sibelius I need the soundcard to be ASIO compatible, but I don't know if that is?Can anyone here help me, I'd really appreciate the help. I'm happy to upgrade my sound card if necessary.

    If your computer has any VIA chipset, and if your computer has any of the following problems, then you might need this driver.
    The computer stops ("freezes", "hangs", "locks up"), or makes unusual noises when playing sounds.</LI>
    The computer stops, or files are corrupted, when copying to or from an IDE DVD, CDROM, or CDRW dri've.</LI>
    Sounds played by the computer are distorted or have a "crackling" noise.</LI>
    The computer stops when playing 3D graphics or games, especially on an ATI Radeon series video card</LI>
    There is a patch for VIA chipset and the patch WORKS for me! Try them at - http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ Look under "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets.

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • AT-GPIB/TNT PnP and Sound Blaster 16 Clashing

    Hi Group
    The Story is:
    I have had a AT-GPIB/TNT PnP on a old Pentium 75/Win 95 Machine doing some testing, and havn't had a problem with it.
    I now wanted to install a Creative Sound Blaster (Vibra) 16, also PnP ISA, card for basic audio analysis measurements.
    The problem is when the Sound Blaster card is installed the PnP BIOS doesn't recognise the GPIB card at all, even with PnP
    disabled.
    Has anybody seen this before?
    Could it be that the PC can only handle 2 ISA PnP cards (there is also a PnP network card)?
    Would I be better of with a PCI SB card.
    Any help would be gratefull
    Tim S

    Tim,
    I had similar struggles with a 1995 vintage Pentium. My ISA GPIB conflicted with PCI sound card and PCI network card. It
    tooks me hours to hit upon a sequence of installing the cards, and manually locking in the resources, in order to get them all
    working.
    Some general suggestions: get back to a configuration that works, say without the sound card. Make note of the resources for
    the network card and GPIB card. While your there, examine the other possibilities. You can select other GPIB resource
    configurations and see what the I/O range, INT and DMA settings would be. For example, some GPIB resource configurations
    don't use INT and DMA at all. Write all of this down.
    Then install the sound card, without the GPIB. See what resources it wants, and explore what other configurations it might be
    happy with. Sound cards are tricky, because they usually use a lot of resources because they have a lot of functions: wave,
    midi, mixer, etc. Some also have "legacy drivers" that mimic the older DOS based sound cards, for backwards compatibility
    with games. You may be able to install the sound card and then remove some of these "extra drivers."
    With sound card working, and the network card working, reinstall the NI488 software. Then power down and install the GPIB
    card. Reboot. You may get lucky and everything just works.
    More likely, the GPIB will work and the sound card won't. Go check the GPIB card resources and you'll probably see that the
    NI488 drivers snagged one or more of the INT or DMA channels that the sound card was using. Try a different GPIB
    configuration, or manually edit the DMA and INT settings to NONE. Also check for I/O range conflicts. (Consult your written
    list, because the conflicts won't show in Device Manger -- since the sound card's not working it's not using any resources!)
    Hopefully, by telling Device Manager to NOT use Automatic Settings, you can get the GPIB working and still leave enough
    resources available for the sound card. Which you will probably have to go back and reinstall, from scratch. Possibly a few
    times before you get everything to fit.
    How bad do you want that sound card ? :~)
    Isn't (Microsoft) plug and play wonderful?
    p.s. you might also consider using CMOS setup to disable any motherboard resources you are not using, for example a COM port
    that's not connected to anything. Remember to write down EVERYTHING, you do so you can put it back if you have to.
    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 64bit and Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - No rear sound

    As the title says I have a sound blaster x-fi titanium running on a windows 7 64bit box. I have downloaded all the latest drivers and tools from creative. The issue is no matter what I do I cannot get the 5. surround working. I have the front 3 speakers working and I can even get it to double the two front side speakers to the rear, but not true 5.. I have tried both DD li've and DTS. I have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver that supports both DD and DTS and I'm connected over a digital optical cable. Trying to figure this one out!
    I've gone through all the modes in the creative audio software and tried all the surround modes on the receiver.
    Please help

    Ok. I have actually formatted my hard dri've to fix another windows and I'm back where I was. I'm testing using the speaker page in the console. I get great sound from all 3 front speakers and my sub. What I've found when clicking the back two I will get a very quiet but clear test voice through both rear speakers, no matter which side I picked. Also the bass portion of the test comes through the sub as normal. I can't seem to get the rear speakers to test any louder.
    I did the surround sound speaker test and it all sounds good (without the PC involved). Also my PS3 plays great surround sound through it using the same optical cable.
    I also tried your suggestion with no improvement.
    What's next?

  • Vista and Sound Blaster Audigy

    Okay I am getting desperate. I have been searching all over for this odd occurence but I havent found anything. I am running a dual core amd processor with Vista 64-bit, 4 GB RAM, and a Sound Blaster Audigy. I purchased this card off of ebay, so I dont exactly know the model (it is the one with a firewire ( ) port on the actual card, and a tan/white i/o box that goes in my cd dri've bay; the box just plainly says Soundblaster Audigy). Anyway, the card had been working great with the drivers at first, and I then had a kernal file fail on me. Well, after recovering successfully with the Windows disc, I came back to find out my drivers had messed up. I tried many combinations of uninstalls/reinstalls, different packages, etc and nothing seems to work. However, the odd part is that sound works within the windows environment (system sounds/clicks/etc), and also through the line in on the breakout box, AND in FLStudio/Reason/Windows Media Player. However, I am not able to get sound through flash movies, Winamp, PC Games, and media things of the sort. I was wondering if anyone else has had this odd occurence, and knew how to fix it. Thank you.
    PS
    The error I get on Winamp is Bad Directsound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. (I have also messed around with the Winamp output with no luck).

    Try here.
    the above driver pack from Daniel Kawakami is top notch and works very well. Good bass response and I NEVER had a problem when using these in XP, Vista, Vista sp and later Vista 64 Sp and 2.

  • How to fix a conflict between PnP ISA and Sound Blaster?

    There is too much nonsense talked about HDMI cables. For a start they shouldn't be sold as 1.2/1.3/1.4 etc compatible, the HDMI standard expressly forbids this. There are standard (cat 1 - < 75 MHz) and high speed cables (cat 2 - < 340 MHz) and both will work with the Apple TV.
    Strictly speaking a cable should meet the HDMI standards before it can be sold and if it doesn't work you should ask for it to be replaced. Higher cost cables cost more because of quality, quality that is represented in quality control or tolerance, higher price cables will likely have a lower failure rate, but that doesn't mean cheap cables shouldn't work when you buy them.
    Uniformity in diameter and in length are paramount. If one component is 1/3200 th of a mm longer than another the signal will become out of sync, variations in diameter can cause the signal to bounce back along the cable.
    Personally, I'd never buy an expensive HDMI cable but I'd also avoid the ultra cheap ones, they should work out of the box, but throughout their life they will likely be pulled, bent, tripped over and run over with the vacuum cleaner, better cables are likely to have greater resistance to such treatment.

  • XBOX and sound blaster l

    I don't think thet Li've! external has a SPDIF input where you can connect the XBox. And on the specs doesn't say that either:

  • K230 and Sound Blaster X-Fi

    I purchased the following:
    Lenovo IdeaCentre K230 - MTM# 53592BU - build 57093706
    Machine Type 10016
    It came running Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
    I had it downgraded to Windows XP PRO SP3, took it back to VHP-64,
    and now I am running Win7 Ultimate 32bit.
    I can get the ADI SoundMAX 1988 audio to run in all three instances without any trouble.
    I upgraded to PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series audio card.
    It worked fine in Windows XP for about 6 weeks.  Then it started giving me problems.
    It would give me static and background noises. Then I would not get any audio at all.
    All the time, the Device Manager said it is installed ok and working fine.
    I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and getting no where.
    I then restored the Lenovo VHP-64 on a new hard drive and reinstalled the X-Fi.
    No matter what I do, I can't get any audio from this card.
    Now I am trying Windows 7 32-bit to see if this will work.
    I have had much better luck with Win7's hardware support in other PCs I have built.
    What could be causing this problem ?????
    Pete...

    Does anyone have any comments regarding my posting?
    Thanks.

    So with your 65 whopping posts, what exactly do you think you are contributing to this forum? The user has a Sound Blaster-branded sound card, so in my opinion, he is in the "correct" section.

  • 990fxa GD65 and Sound Blaster Problems

    Hi Everyone,
    Upgraded my motherboard to a 990fxa GD65 with 2 XFX hd7970 in Xfire.  Only 1 slot can be used to set up the sound card, which is a SB Titainium Fatality Professional PCIe sound card into PCIe2 slot.  The motherboard see's it, and the device manager see's it.  Even put test sound through the "primary sound device" manager and see the green sound bars move when I select a test sound.  PCIe2 slot should be fine for this card I would assume.  ..........and yes, the boards sound card is disabled in bios.  No conflicts with any other sound drivers or hardware that I can detect.  Any thoughts???????????????????

    Quote from: exileLyk on 29-December-13, 18:28:15
    This card needs one PCI-E x 1, right?
    By that "Only 1 slot can be used to set up the sound card, which is a SB Titainium Fatality Professional PCIe sound card into PCIe2 slot" you mean that you installed your sound card into the second PCI-E x 1 (above the first PCI-E x 16 slot)?
    I'm using the same PCI-E x 1 slot for my Sound Blaster Z sound card without a problem, didn't try other slots though.
    Correct.  Sound Blaster card in slot #2 which is a PCIe x 1 slot.  Can't put this in any other slot because of the Xfire set up.  PCIe #1 slot can not be used because of the 990 chip set that is right in the way.  It is PCIe slot #2 or nothing.  But, slot PCIe #2 should work without a hitch.  Once again, card works fine.  FUBAR with the motherboard or drivers.  I am putting my chips on drivers.  Or, something is not good with the mobo.
