Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

I should have mentioned in my original post that I have the onboard "RAID" controllers configured as two extra ATA 133 controllers. In other words, I'm not running a RAID setup.

I have two hard drives, a DVD-ROM, a CD-RW, and a Zip drive. The nice thing about ...

Great deal on the ultimate sampling system: Pulsar II Classic 20 I/O (16 ADAT I/O, SPDIF, stereo analog, and MIDI) card including the version 3.0 ProPack software along with the STS-2000P, STS-3000, STS-4000, and STS-5000 sampler plug-ins.

The included ProPack software features the following ...

Oh, I should probably mention that my motherboard features an additional RAID controller as well as onboard USB 2.0. These features might also be hogging the available PCI bandwidth???

I just read somewhere recently (I think the article was in Electronic Musician) that most PC's share PCI bus 3 with the USB controller and that this can lead to problems for any audio hardware placed in slot 3.

For starters, does anyone know if this is in fact the case? Also, does this just affect ...

Whoops, sorry for starting a new thread. I guess I hit the "New Thread" button by mistake rather than selecting "Reply." My apologies to everyone.

I feel really stupid right now - oh well, it's not the first time I've felt that way and it most likely won't be the last time either...

This is definitely the most expensive route to go, but I would suggest getting a Mac for your audio stuff and keep your existing PC for games.

Just for comparison, I can get lower latencies (1-3 ms) on my 4-year-old 400 MHz G4 Mac than I can on my fully tweaked custom 2GHz PC running Windows XP Pro ...

After rooting around a bit more, I finally found the re-registration information on the Creamware website (at the following link just in case anyone is interested: http://shop.creamware.de/shop2000/de/shop/asp.pro/support/default.asp?LG=US).

Man, it seems REALLY complicated to change the hardware ...

Sorry for being such a doofus, but how do I go about getting an "unreg" module? Do I need to contact Creamware directly or can I do this myself somehow via their website?

Thanks for your help!

I was hoping someone would please tell me the procedure for transferring a device from one piece of Creamware hardware to another. Specifically, I want to transfer my STS-4000 and STS-5000 samplers from my Pulsar II card to my PowerSampler card. I am selling my Pulsar II card but would like to keep ...

Hi Folks,

I had intended to use the Volkszampler VST plug-in as 16-part drum module in Logic. This way I could load up 16 different drum kits in a number of styles and have large variety of drum sounds at my disposal (and use only a single Logic audio instrument in the process).

However, the ...

subhuman - if the DMA issue is a problem with VIA chipsets only, then why are so many people still having PCI overflow problems with their (non-VIA chipset) Creamware systems? It seems to me that if people can't get their Intel chipsets to work even after trying all of the tips recommended on the ...

The very first thing you should try is to turn off DMA access on your hard drives. (Reply to this message if you need help doing this.) Creamware recommends a bunch of things that, in my experience, don't do anything to address the PCI overflow problem.

I couldn't even use my 3.0 Pulsar II system ...

DP,

I wish I had read your post before trying all the useless tips suggested in the Creamware manual. Disabling DMA is THE solution to the PCI overflow problem! I tried everything else (running my XP PC in "Standard PC" mode, disabling USB, etc.) and none of which made any difference whatsovever. I ...
