PCI is often handled by chips, which get pretty hot. Some boards had little fans, which generate ugly noise. Some had nothing.
On a larger scale, a dying PCI is not a rare event. On 500 PCs running 24/7 for 10 years, at least 10 failed due to PCI.

.. just an idea, when an other pc doesn't bring any news:
As the powerpulsar has that floppy-powerconnector, that additional pcb might have been affected, if there really were severe PSU problems.
You could open the screws and just remove that pcb. Then try the "naked card" together with the pulsar1.

No scope or midi inputs on the powerpulsar might point to the additional pcb on the back of the card. 6&15 DSP cards show up in scope without IO, if this pcb is missing or defective. On your pulsar1, you should have midi and audio.

For the PSU: Very cheap and very old PSU can only regulate a ...

Some recommendations:
*Don't use an UPS while hunting bugs. Depending on model, an UPS in online mode can also cause pc to crash.
*Don't use the A16, try with onboard ADDA of the pulsars first.
*Try the masterverb-test for some time. Does the pc crash ?
*Try to test in an other mainboard.

My guess ...

Thank you very much !

Some years ago, I compiled audacity with asio support. (You'll need to compile yourself due to some legal stuff.) Unfortunately, it made scope go BSOD. I don't understand, why scope isn't robust enough to avoid the BSOD.
Maybe there is some asio-in-between-layer-tool, which protects the scope asio ...

Very interesting story, valis. I saw RAMBus from an electronic perspective, where the high frequency caused lots of troubles, especially because of RAM connectors and chip housing were facing resonances.
PCIe and SATA showed, that over time, electronics have evolved. Maybe some aspects of the ...

At the age of P4/RAMbus, I worked with spice simulations. RAMbus hat some serious issues in its design. There was no big performance advantage over parallel RAM and it was more expensive.
Apple's M4 is an efficient CPU, but Apple's policy to change the CPU architecture from 68xxx to PPC to x86 to ...

I don't know the software architecture of scope, nor am I familiar with driver development under W10/11, but I did similar stuff with linux.
All control communication runs through the card's driver on the OS-side. Focus is required on DMA-transfers by the card. (Here I wonder, why masterverb works ...

I never used STS much, but some years ago, I had them running stable under 64bit on a clean installed windows. I had to make sure, that there is no other soundcard in the system, thus disabling all drivers for onboard sound. Unfortunately, I used some other devices (VDAT ?) and a series of ...

Not sure, what really runs over that HDMI cable. It might be PCIe.
Switching Xite on after PC has booted, is hard to handle. I managed it some times by forcing Win7 to rescan the PCI-bus for new devices, but for 2 years I failed to reproduce. Copyright errors only occur when switching off Xite while ...

Impressive studio !
Gives me the good feeling, that nobody should ashamed of owning too many synths.

Vote: Yes !

Perfect groove !
What did you use for piano ?

nice ! ThnX !

As I'm a biased bass addict and no mixing talent yet, I just can compare to other youtube vids.

the beegees have more low freqs on my speakers.

I'm running loopmidi and midiox on the same machine as Xite. (W7/32Bit).
MidiOX is great for debugging Midi on OS level.
Does it work when using the software-keyboard within scope ?

On one of my PCs, I accidentally clicked upgrade to 11 and I just tried it with scope pci. Scope works, but some older audio software didn't work well. For AI applications (using Nvidia drivers), W11 is slower unless you disable a whole bunch of security mechanisms.
"Security updates" often tend to ...

Just click channels, then monitor.
Signal comes out on MonL and MonR at the bottom.

According to this picture (taken from 2448 manual) you could use monitor to get the direct input to an output.
Aux seems to be affected by inserts, already.
The problem might be, that monitoring works only for a single channel. (two channels would be mixed into one)
