Crashing when trying to record -ACID Product Family

Subject:Crashing when trying to record Posted by: Positron Date:10/5/2004 8:18:14 PM I have a delta66 sound card. I've set acid's audio to the asio feature. My platform is winxp pro. Everytime I try to record, acid crashes. It pops up the record window but when I hit record it locks up bad to where I have to restart my comp (this never happens with anything else I do on my machine). I've tried different settings in the record window to no avail. What could this be?

Does that mean that you can record audio from your Delta66 using ASIO drivers in other applications and they work fine? Do you have the latest updates to ACID 4.0f? Do you have the latest version of the Delta66 ASIO drivers? Are you sure the record sample rate matches a sample rate that the Delta66 can support (24-bit/96kHz full-duplex)? Try recording with the Microsoft Sound Mapper driver and see if that works. Since ASIO drivers take direct control of the hardware, they can lock a PC up if everything isn’t matched perfectly. If you can record with the Sound Mapper but not ASIO then the ASIO drivers may not be configured correctly. ~jr

I must have something that conflicts because I dont have the same issue when using my cards normal settings in acid.

Subject:RE: Crashing when trying to record Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:10/7/2004 5:09:12 AM I’m glad it worked for you. ASIO can be problematic because it talks directly to the hardware bypassing the operating system. If these drivers aren’t written well, they can really wreak havoc in your system. The ASIO standard was created before Microsoft DirectX was mature enough to provide this much needed capability. Unfortunately, now we are stuck with two competing standards and so getting drivers to match can be a challenge. I’m glad I could help. ~jr
