My bandmate bought a new PC but gets PCI-bandwith errors. he doesn't speak english so I offered him to put this help request on planetz ... I am a using RME stuff but do also own to pulsar 2 cards, so I am a little bit familier with scope ...
Ok, we did some testing on MY old system and everything worked as expected even a16 connected to one of my 2 pulsar cards. so I thing A16 should be OK.
Some info about the new PC:
Hardware:
ASUS P8P67, i7, 16 GB RAM,3 HD,Scope 15 DSP,A16 ultra,3 monitors 24",ATI Radeon 6700 series
Software:
Windows 7 64 bit,Cubase 64 bit,Scope 5.1,
Omnisphere, Trilian, RMX 64 bit plugins
BIOS already updated
graphics card driver up to date.
A16 checked on an old system - excellent
A16Ultra connected as slave to Scope card (Master) via ADAT. Sync via ADAT, 44,1 KHz.
All unnecessary Services disabled
all energy savings disabled (in Windows and BIOS)
bluetooth disabled, realtek audio disabled, usb 3.0 support disabled, 1394a disabled ...
Error: PCI Bandwidth limit reached
1. we get this message even with only 8 channel connections routed directly inout (without any other mnodules, synths ...
2. Using the scopecard alone works like a charm
3. wihout starting cubase we are also able to load many modules.
as soon as we start cubase the possibility to chrash/get the above error message increases. we can provoke the error just by playing on the keyboard (e.g. modulation wheel ) and sending midi. after a few seconds the message appears. sometimes the pc even crashes (BSOD
We have already contacted SC support - no way ... they cant't help.
any ideas, hints on what we could do?
should we try 32-bit cubase?does that make sense?
Is there a way to force the systems to use an interrupt exclusively for the slot with the card (ASUS manual shows serveral "shared" in the IRQ-matrix)
