XP, Firewire, and Audio problems.
Hello,
I've copies of Cubase SE (my needs are simple) and it works properly on my desktop, which has either a NEC or VIA 1394 chip (as displayed in the device properties). I'm using an M-Audio Firewire 410. XP is SP1, I can't install SP2 as it breaks the M-Audio drivers. On my laptop, which is where I intend to use Cubase, Cubase runs *only* with a PCMCIA card that has a brand identifier in front of the chipset. That is, if the Device Manager reads "OHCI compatible 1394 adapter", (this is a LaCie PCMCIA adapter) audio works for perhaps a few seconds, then Cubase hangs so thoroughly that I can only do a power-off restart to get rid of it. Other Windows apps will work, but there will be no sound. Spider Solitaire will also lose audio after a few seconds even if Cubase has not run. However, if the Device Manager reads: "NEC OHCI compatible 1394 adapter", (which is an Adaptec PCMCIA adapter), Cubase and Spider Solitaire work perfectly and terminates correctly, and all Windows apps have audio. Now, as I have found that the audio is also unstable within Spider Solitaire (that is, just within Windows) when using the un-branded OHCI 1394 adapter, so Cubase's problem is likely limited to its inability to recover (or terminate). Any ideas as to why this would be? While I can get by with the Adaptec card, it is only a Firewire card. The LaCie is a combo card with USB 2 ports, and so I'd rather just carry that one around. Thanks! Patrick Keenan |
