Hi,
now the second annoying problem:
after a system crash and complete new software installation I've got some problems with my Lunar/Pulsar combination.
When I scroll in a window or move a window I hear a humming crackling sound. This happens independend of any software, even with a simple project with connects just the wave source modul tho the Luna or pulsar analog out.
Any help?
Thanks, Gerold

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean with PSU.

Post your IRQ list up so we can see it. There may be an IRQ conflict with the pulsar/luna card.

Hi,
thanks for the replies. The PSU should be strong enough.
With the interrupst I have different informations depending if I look at the startupscreen before windows boots respectively use a hardware analyzing programm or if I look in the windows device manager.
Startup screen/hardware analysis says:
IRQ 0 - Timer
IRQ1 - Keyb. contr.
IRQ 2 - ISA IRQ contr
IRQ 3 - free
IRQ 4 - COM
IRQ 5 - Pulsar
IRQ5 - Luna
IRQ 6 - USB
7 - SMBus
8- Clock
9- USB2.0
10- Graphic contr
11 - Lan contr
12 - Mouse
13 - math processor
14 IDE1
15 IDE 2
In the BIOS setup utility I set the two PCI ports were Luna and Pulsar are plugged in to IRQ 5. but also switching to other IRQs or using a different IRQ for the cards didn't help.
Windows device managar says Luna IRQ21, Pulsar IRQ 22, no conflicts
greetings Gerold

"no conflicts" means nothing. neither does the irq settings in the bios if you are using acpi, as demonstrated by the device manager showing a different irq than at startup. check system information/hardware/conflicts-sharing and see if the cards are on that list.

Ok, I've checked this , no conflicts - but I also fixed the problem.
It's somehow stupid and I'm not sure what went really wrong, but I've changed the cable at the Luna Analog IN jack - and everything is fine. I still don't understand - if the cable was the problem - why the humming occured while scrolling or moving windows but now it works fine as before.
many thanks for your help
regards,
Gerold
