Hi all,

I have installed a new HD on my computer. Otherwise, the system is unchanged (see below). A fresh Win98SE install was done.

However, when it came to install the Pulsar I + II cards, I get the following errors on bootup (ie without running any plugins):
1) "Sorry! A capacity limit of your DSP Cards has been reached. The specific cause is: Cannot lock audio buffer, not enough physical memory.

It is often possible to solve this problem by means of a global optimatization of the project. Would you like to try this now?

A "yes" click does not solve the problem.

2) The ATM Card freezes up and I cannot logon.

3) The setup used to work well, so I rule out a VIA chipset problem.

4) My system has been reinstalled in several ways
a) installed the Pulsar Card first
b) installed the Pulsar Card last
c) shifted the other cards around

all to no avail

Could anyone give any advice. Thank you,
Jin Kheng

some hints and checklist...

Concerning VIA: http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... forum=3&21 could contain the solution if you've tweaked your motherboard using www.h-oda.com]'s programs. You'd have ... CW boards).


There's something wrong with the installation. The DSP cards do not seem to get acces to your memory, one way or the other.

good luck :wink:

I've installed 2 cards 6 dsp in different slot (all combinations). Projects started normally but Sample Players (from Scope 4.5) have problems when I try load sample - is error "cannot load audio buffer, not enough physical memory".

All works properly with one board.

How can resolve this problem?

Scope PCI 5.1
Windows 7 64-bit
i7 with all deactivated options in BIOS

The samplers and sample players do not work in 64-bit, only 32-bit.
