weirdness with the 1010 - anyone?

I've now experienced this twice with my Delta 1010. I'm using the released drivers. For some reason, certain ports just stop sending audio. I'll be using output 7/8 in forge and I'll listen to some audio on the internet and suddenly my port 7/8 stops working. Even after I reboot. I have to switch to another set of ports. I'm down to ports 3/4 now. The only way around it is to uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

Very strange, no? It's like the port gets permanently locked somehow...

Sounds like a sharing of the ports/driver issue. Perhaps by being used as your 'mapper' for the system, this is causing Windows to open it in DirectSound mode and then causing problems with the driver's willingness to share.

I would suggest second card for use with system sounds and internet/media player stuff. If you MOBO has onboard audio, that is sometimes the best thing to assign to this.

Yes, I have onbaord audio, but I've always disabled it thinking it was an unnecessary stability risk. I'll try it, though.

thanks Peter

go one step further and disable system sounds in control panel\sound(set to NONE - beeps, notices, etc)..
You don't want that sh*t with a DAW anyway.
Do you really need a quick "blip" or cool sound when a notice pops up anyway? No.

Unless you KNOW you have a free IRQ for the onboard audio - keep it disabled.

I would stay with maudios asiofix_.27 or the regular .27 (on the website). Not sure I dig the .29 over these two.
Fully un-install the old one first.

Thanks Joe. I always have the sounds disabled. I hate them. :)

Anyway, it looks like Peter was right. I had Vegas open playing through ports 7/8 and when I switched the control panel to play out of my SoundMax onboard, it muted the audio coming out of my Delta.
