Hiss, Static and High Pitch Squeal?

CarvinGuitarFreak · Post by **CarvinGuitarFreak** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 4:00 pm

Hi,

I dont have much problems with scope but this one has started to happen. I was wondering if any one else has had this problem?

I get this periodic static and high pitch squeals... its starting to happen alot and I hope nothings wrong. No IRQ probs, No USB, No Firewire, No Networking, just a PC dedicated to audio (2P2 and 1Luna --> A16u). I have reseated all cards and the bendy stdm cable... but it still happens

Can anyone help, please?

check the adat connections. that sounds like a sync problem.

double check your clock settings. you can try compressed air to the open adat connectors and different cables....

Hm, I wonder if you can record an example of that sound?

Hi GaryB,

thanks for the reply... Im not using any ADAT at the moment and it is still happening... Ive also unplugged the A16u and Luna adaptor and the problem still happening... I will swop out the PSU (520w) for a more powerfull one tommorrow. I'll have to test each card to find the culprit....

Do you know if Creamware/Sonicore do services on the cards? and who I have to contact....

Thanx
CGF

Hi Valis,

I have complete loss of sound when this happens and I have to restart Scope.. but I will use an external recorder to record it.... when I restart it seems fine and then it will happen again... sometimes it doesnt??

I dont know whats happening

how about reseating the cards and the i/o plates on the cards?....

yes, you can still get service.

nice one chaps...

I've done a clean installation and cleaned contacts, reseated, air cleaned and changed the power supply. All seems well (fingers crossed). I freaked out a bit...If it does happen again I will record and post it....

I'm checking out a full service and have emailed ralf...
