yerg Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 So, are there any tried and tested configurations of "SoundCard (1394) + PC (WinXP)"? (or it's a useless question? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amygdala Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 So, are there any tried and tested configurations of "SoundCard (1394) + PC (WinXP)"? (or it's a useless question? ) Only partly - sorry to make this sound so bloddy difficult... The only way to be (almost) sure, is to know if there are people who have tested with: - That particular soundcard (pref. same production batch since components may vary between batches). - Same drivers, or if someone know of a driver version that seems to work. - The same operating system (service pack included). - Same firewire chipset. This is harder to determine, as there are subtle differences in makes and models and manufactorers. For instance, RME or Presonus (I think... someone out there) has openly stated, that they don't support the Agere Firewire chipset, that, say, the new iMac uses. Even then, they may be surprising stuff happening. Some users report absolutely flawless operation with the TC Electronic Konnekt series, except when Outlok is open - then there are dropots, because the network interface drivers of certain network cards are saps, that can't program sensibly, and that makes the operating system delay audio processing, of the audio drivers are constructed in accordance with Microsoft "standards". It's a damn jungle, and a treasure hunt. Luckily, most of the time, things work out pretty good - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for example if i am interested in Konnekt - is there any official distributor in Ukraine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amygdala Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hmm, I don't know what chipsets will definetly work on PC. It adds to the trouble, that some chipsets will be dodgy in only some configurations. I think there is work being done assembling a list of known configurations that will or will not work... Try this: http://www.tcelectronic.com/Default.asp?Id=13100&cpc=1 I had some problems with the link - if it doesn't work, go to TCs site, click "where to buy" in the upper right menu. - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
