@t_tangent : Yes, Scan makes very nice machines. I have a Scan 3XS laptop too. I am very happy with both machines and strongly recommend Scan 3XS. @garyb: I am on Windows 7 x64. No onedrive or any other strange background app. Anyway, if it was an app causing problems then it would make problems wit...

After some days of having disabled USB and eSATA controllers, I still do get occasional dropouts. So, the dropouts are not caused by the IRQ sharing with these devices I assume. I must say (If I haven't already) that this machine is a DAW built for music by Scan 3XS (UK) and works perfectly with my ...

I disabled that USB controller, as I never use the ports that it controlled anyway.. I tried disabling the JMicron controller too but this disables the e-SATA ports that I use for my external drives. I could disable it though any time I use Scope (if it is proved that this would help the performance...

If I disable it, all usb ports will stop functioning? No mouse, no keyboard?..

Unfortunately there is no way to set manually the IRQs in the BIOS. I found another thread somewhere in the internet with another Scope user having the same problem with the same motherboard. He solved it by changing the motherboard (after having first contacted Gigabyte and having a custom BIOS bui...

Thanks valis! :) Gary, yes I used 99% pure alcohol. After some days of usage I can say that the blinking problem has not appeared :D .. but I do still get some occasional dropouts.. Since this machine is built as a DAW (with DPC latency around 100μs) and never had any problem with my RME cards, and ...

I have just cleaned thoroughly everything with alcohol and sprayed contact cleaner to all the contacts (STDM cables, contacts on the pci cards, cable whip connector). Cards now look almost as new! I'll just have now to wait a few days and see if the problem is gone... On a side note.. What is Async?...

Thank you valis! :) Cable-whip! Ah yes! :D .. Is WD-40 good for this job or I need De-oxit? I have LOGO 100 as well, which is an anti-rust spray made in USA but sold under this name in Greece. BTW, today I saw this: https://i.ibb.co/9yxhyKr/error.jpg Any idea what this error could mean? I hope my ca...

Hello to all! :) Old user from the past here.. (wow it's been 17 years :S ) Two Pulsar2 cards in a DAW machine from 2010, running Scope 7 in Windows 7 x64. My Pulsar cards work fine and I can use the lowest ULLI with no problem but occasionally I have clicks and pops even when listening to an mp3 in...

Yay! It works! Thanks!

I offer 180euros for the card and scope 5.1, without the z link plate

I sometimes use the XTC mode, but you are right! There is no need for having it enabled all the time!

Cheers!

Thanks! :) I checked my old DAW and yes, ASIO2 flt was the one I was using too. BTW, I have read in the Cubase forum that the error I was experiencing was due to a bug in the scope asio drivers. But this Sonic-Core patch fixed the problem for me! :) P.S. I swapped the cards in the pci slots and I th...

Hello and thank you all for the excellent information! :) I don't experience any problems, except that I can hear some interference with the graphics card. I have two PCI slots in my motherboard. My main card (the one which has the output plate) is located next to the graphics card and shares IRQ wi...

Thank you very much for your help! :) I checked my BIOS and Turbo Boost, C1E, C3/C6/C7, CPU Thermal Monitor, EIST and Virtualization Technology all are already disabled. I then entered into my XP partition and the clicks/pops had gone! :-? I did a benchmark of my system using this tool . I tried the...

Thank you for your reply! :) Will this be helpful for XP too? Or does it apply only to Win7? I am using the XP partition at the moment as my Win7 is 64bit and have no audio programs yet installed there. BTW, my PC is supposed to be optimized for audio production, has been tested to run smoothly at t...

I swapped the cards into my new machine. (I have a Creamware Pulsar II and an XTC card connected with two STDM cables) I can hear occasional clicks and pops in the sound even when I play a simple mp3 file in Windows Media Player.. :( What can I do? I hope that my cards have not started to die after ...

garyb wrote:the driver and program are one and the same. you will need v5 with win7/vista 32 or 64bit.

So, no Win7 unless I pay another 198euros?... not nice!

I am going to swap the cards from one DAW to another tomorrow and see how it goes.

Thank you both for your replies! :) I am happy to be back! :) The Windows 7 partition is 64bit. So I guess there are no 64bit drivers yet.. BTW, I have Scope v4. When 64bit drivers come out, are they going to work with version 4? Or will I have to update to version 5? (I don't want to spend another ...

Hello my fellow Pulsarians! :) Wow... it's been a looooong time I've been away!... :o I have 2 Creamware Pulsar II cards sitting in my old P4 2.4GHz DAW. I have a new DAW now, which is a very powerful machine and I am tempted to move both my Creamware cards, or maybe one of them to the new one. The ...
