Hi,

after installing scope 4.0 I have 2 errors:

1. every now and then I get the message "cannot find conversion 0x1 -> 0x8002 nonscaling". (click OK and it's gone.) Any idea what that means?

2. Cubase 2.0 SL can't set the samplerate. (It says the reason could be an external SPDIF-source, but there is none. Oh, and I cleaned every contacts with alcohol - read about that somewhere around here.)

Thanks a lot for tips and hints.

Just to be sure... What sync setting you have in SP 4? If it's slave then set it to master and observe the results.

And (sorry for a dumb question) - do you try to set the samplerate from within Cubase? If so - it's impossible.

The first one is probably a dsp file that's set to the wrong attribute. Run a command prompt (start>run>"cmd.exe") and type the following (without the quotes)
"attrib -s -h /s /d c:sfp" (or whatever path you installed sfp4 into).

Hopefully this works.

Also note that I've had a few get set with an 'archived' flag and the only way to unset that is to copy it to another drive/machine (so it makes a copy, the + symbol) and copy back, overwriting the original.

As for the 2nd, are you sure you never recieved that error with SFP 3.x? V-stack gives me the same error but with Pulsar the samplerate is determined in SFP (afaik).

Tried both. SP4 as master and nothing else connected. And SP4 as slave with my PodXT as slave. No success. (OK, the second shouldn't work anyway, I know. Cubase kindly tells me.)

Yeah, I know - unfortunatly. I wish they would let me...

Interesting idea. But - unfortunatly - no effect.

Nope. SFP 3.1c worked fine. (Worked great and without errors, indeed - But no, me stupid must try to update!!)

works here...
(on three different machines so far)
some kinda software problems....
i wish i could be more helpful, but maybe it'll help knowing that others have no problems...

I wrote an email to creamware and get an answer the next day already - which I want to mention laudatory.
OK, what they said is that I should deinstall ACPI because most motherboards have problems to suppurt the creamware-board in ACPI mode.

Could be a hint, I have ACPI installed - though I had never problem with 3.1c. But I know the IRQ-business is a tricky one.
I'll give it a try and deinstall it - though I already cruised through enough readme's to know that this could turn out to be a long and dark journey. (So farewell everybody, tell my wife I love her.)

I doubt ACPI is the problem. Seems like that's a blanket tech support response from CW, which is understandable since the large majority of CW users probably have rarely if ever seen these forums.

Just out of curiousity was SFP 4 installed into its own directory or over the top of SFP 3.1c?

On top!
And another strange behavior: When I change the ASIO Module in my project, say from ASIO-24Bit to ASIO-Float and then start
Cubase, it can set the samplerate. But then I save everything (sfp project and cubase project), close everything, start again... same error! Strange, isn't it?

I'm willing to bet uninstalling SFP4, uninstalling drivers and reinstalling SFP4 from scratch will solve the problems. Also, Sfp 3.1c and Sfp 4 can be installed anywhere you like, meaning you can install one into C:SFP3 and another into C:SFP4 so you can use either and they won't affect each other with misversioned files.

Make sure you backup any presets you care about (you can import them from sfp4 devices later or just overwrite the presets in the preset folder). I usually try to reinstall all my devices from original zips or install packages rather than backing them up as they often require dsp files and other additional odds & ends be installed at the same time. This insures that everything u install is as recent as possible.
