Hi,
I recently bought an Audiophile and I am not pleased at all!
I am running Win98SE and Gigastudio 2.50.48. and Sonar 2.
The main problem is that when I am trying to use audio capture from gigastudio for recording, I get some short breaks ( I mean that the it stops in some notes and then continue again). The problem exists even if I have only one instrument playing. This is not happening when am not recording.
I have used audio capture many times with my old Sblive without a problem.

I am using the latest drivers for Audiophile.

Does any one have an idea about this?

Thanks,

Yiannis

Make sure your drives are enabled in DMA mode, and make sure that you\'re making use of as many physical drives as possible (though I don\'t see much of a good reason for more than 3; system, giga, audio).

I have my drives in DMA mode and I am also using two different HD(one dedicated to Gigasounds). I noticed yesterday that if I change the buffer ammount (in the audio captute settings) from 4Mb to 1Mb I get a better result.

How is this possible? I thougt that more buffer means betters results (If you thing that I have 768MB memory)

Keep your buffer set to 1MB and turn off write-behind caching. Right click on \"My Computer,\" then select Properties|Performance|FileSystem|Troubleshooting and check the \"Disable write-behind caching for all drives\" checkbox. That will prevent Windows from flushing out the file buffer all at once when doing a capture.
