ASIO engine / clicks & cracks -ACID Product Family

Subject:ASIO engine / clicks & cracks Posted by: Gordian Date:3/26/2003 5:22:57 AM Using AP4 with WinXP SP1. I very often get cracking sounds as the curser moves over the start of the audio block. When I use MME I do not get this problem. Setting the quick fade value to 15ms (from 10 as a standard) does improve things somewhat. I have set my soundcard to 11 ms of latency which is big enough of a buffer since I don't have the crackling problem in any other audio software (eg. Sonar). I guess this has something to do with the Acid ASIO engine. Will there be an update by version 4.0c ?? Does anyone else have those problems or know a workaround? Thanks, Gordian

Subject:RE: ASIO engine / clicks & cracks Reply by: Iacobus Date:3/26/2003 2:18:26 PM I've heard ACID 4.0 implements ASIO a little differently, hence there was a problem with M-Audio's earlier Delta ASIO drivers (which was actually M-Audio's fault and has since been fixed by them). Have you tried different drivers for your soundcard/audio interface? Also, if you're not using MIDI all that much, ASIO isn't any different from WDM (or MME). Using WDM is actually more flexible, especially when multiple audio interfaces are involved. HTH, Iacobus
