Subject:slow playback speed in SF5 Posted by: SteveM Date:11/15/2004 11:36:25 AM I'm getting extremely slow playback (record speed is fine) after updating my sound card drivers to fix a problem with pops/static. I'm able to record with no problems now, but playback speed (on this pc only) is about 20% of what it should be (ie it takes about 5 secs to play 1 sec of music. This is actual playback time, there's no delay from the time I click on Play. If I play the recorded wav back on another PC, it's fine, so it's definitely this pc. I've already contacted M-Audio (the card manufacturer) & they haven't been able to help. Anyone? Thanks in advance.. Steve Marshall

Subject:RE: slow playback speed in SF5 Reply by: SteveM Date:11/15/2004 2:50:41 PM Everything appears to be setup properly. Nothing changed in SF. The only thing I did was reinstall the sound card drivers....
Subject:RE: slow playback speed in SF5 Reply by: Sonic Date:11/15/2004 3:54:02 PM It's quite common for drivers and/or kmixer to succeed on certain format queries when they shouldn't. What is the type and sample rate of the file and what is the card? Did the file play back properly before you updated the drivers? Also, you might try adjusting the sample rate on the status bar or in file properties just to narrow down exactly what is happening. J.
Subject:RE: slow playback speed in SF5 Reply by: SteveM Date:11/15/2004 5:27:10 PM The file type is .wav, 48K. The card is a MidiMan Delta DIO 2496. Everything was fine till I reistalled the drivers. The file plays back with no problems on another PC. Steve
Subject:RE: slow playback speed in SF5 Reply by: Sonic Date:11/16/2004 7:28:53 AM Well, if it's not the file and it worked before you updated the driver...it's probably the driver. If no preferences have changed in Sound Forge, try fiddling with the M-Audio settings. Also, try other bit-depths and sample rates to identify what does and doesn't work. I see the release note for the v5.10.00.0048a driver says "Fixed mismatched sample rate in audio." Sounds more like they broke something. J.
