i still can't solve problem with clicking sound with more then 2 reverbs and higher (60%) cpu usage!
(cusl2/933p3/512ram/win98se)
i realy think that i do all possible optimatisations but i'm not sure is it everithing ok here and here!?
how can i set numbers of out/in devices?! what's means this devices?!
thanks
sandro

Hi Sandrob,

The sample device are the number of devices In and Out that you can use simultaneous.

Ex: If you want to use 8 stereo channel (8 * 2 = 16 single channels) you must set up the sample device up to 8 and max channel 2.

And for the audio clicks depends on the chipset that you're using.

1. Download the latest bios
2. Download the latest patch for your chipset (if exist)
3. try to see or modify the IRQ for luna (maybe move the pci board to another slot)

4... bla bla bla...

If these doesn't help you, i would take another motherboard Ex: P4-TE or something with i850 chipset (if Pentium 4), and a KT266a or Amd 760 chipset (if AMD).

But i will wait just 1 or 2 month, because they are releasing new mobo and new processor.

I hope my infos are useless

Ops i forgott to say that if you use only 2 devices you could not use more than 2 masterverb...

and be sure you're using the new pulsar software 3.01 ... (it may improve performance, but i'm not sure)

....

thanks very much, please be kind and explain me - i still don't understand what this outs means! wave outs or asio outs or adat outs or some other outs?! this is much important to me because i just sale my #2 pulsar board (still have pulsar2+) - i not able to use all power because of this stupid cliks! my hardware and bios are optimal, but i'm not sure about this software seting?!
so, how much outs i must set?!? what i get with this seting and what loose?! what's this outs exactly means!??!
thanks again
sandro

i try to set this out to 8 and 8, but can't help! i still have clicking sound with #3 reverb!
i like some pulsar's devices. i think they are unice, but if i don't solve this i must sale my cw gear!

sandrob, there are many dozen people running the same setup (933mhz CUSL2) as you getting 12 or more masterVerbs. If you can link to a thread that gives you complete system specs, I would be glad to solve your problem, include which slots you're using and what IRQs your Creamware cards are using (and any devices sharing thier IRQ).

Hey Sub,

I think if Sandrob wanted this solved he would have answered that thread...
instead he continues to complain about if this doesn't get fixed he will sell his cream gear...

so let him sell his gear

i sale #2pulsar board because i don't need 2 pulsars for my way of working and i will buy uad-1. i don't want sale pulsar2+ what i still have because i can't imagine better card for routhings, monitoring, real time procesing, i/o, playing akaies, some synths, i like how sounds masterverb... i heard that early(something) sounds great but i never try

i know that i have optimal hardware for pulsar and that's makes me crazy. i wait for new p4 configuration and then i will try with xp. in the mean time i will upload pictures of my windows setup - that's much easyer for me than with english.
thanks, sub!
sandro

hey, sub, this is my windows setup in 10 pictures!
1

i disable serial ports and usb support in bios and set pci lateny timer to 255 - everything else in bios i set like in manual!
do you need more info?!?!
thanks

Okay 2 questions for you sandrob, and then we're on our way to solve this

1. What PCI slot do you have Pulsar in? (With Slot 1, the first slot next to your AGP graphics port)

2. Can you provide a picture of "Start > Run > MSconfig > Startup tab" and maybe "System Resources" - "WinKey+Pause" when you first boot your machine?

11
when i had 2 cards i put in #1 and #5 slots and in bios i force no share irq with any other! (i had same problems)
now my board is in the #5 slot! (same problems)

What IDE driver are you using? (WinKey+Pause, Device Manager, properties on your IDE controller - list all details or provide a picture)

What version of Windows? (98SE requires some drivers, ME has built in i815 chipset drivers)

Did you install any i815 chipset drivers, or IDE drivers if so, what version?

Almost there.

win98 se - standard disk drivers - i don't know what's version of 815e drivers - instalation cd is from 2000?!

ooooops! and ooooops!!

On Win98SE, you must install i815 chipset and drivers! With WinME, this is included, no other drivers are necessary for great performance out of the box.

<a href=http://support.intel.com/support/mother ... t.htm>Here is the order of driver install</a>.

To be honest - I'm surprised your machine is even working - even with no PCI cards installed!

thanks, sub. i just instal Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility but can't help

I would change it to the "Let Windows ..."

http://klub.posluh.hr/sbacic/5.jpg
I would change the Read-ahead to all the way NONE (left).

http://klub.posluh.hr/sbacic/9.jpg
I would do:
a> "un-check Calculate perfect position Information"
b> Change output Preload to Middle of small and Big
c> Un-check power Management

Additional:
1> Check the system.ini file, I would have Vcache setting: Min=Max=64000 (+/- 10~20%)

2> I would put the audio data in seperated HARDDISK, but not same IDE cable with the CD/DVDROM.

3> ULLI setting is about 13ms@44.1khz

4> Cset.ini setting HW=512

5> Possibly try to remove other PCI card in the system! Is it OK?

6> Using the Reverbs without any audio tracks for isolating the problem! Is it OK?

7> Adjusting the PCI lattency timer in BIOS setting (64~128 is doable).

8> Disable all start apps and other apps as possible (START, run, msconfig, startup). Uncheck everything, except Initpulsar.

9> Adjusting Seq-MIDI-Audio's latency/cache setting.

10> Creating new simple pulsar project from scratch, adding one-by-one devices. To see what's caused a problem.

Hope this helps,
Long

sandro

i have just one question.
how to set!??! i don't see DMA anymore?!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: sandrob on 2002-01-29 03:56 ]</font>

This is normal. The Intel drivers have no checkbox.
Did you install Intel Application Accelerator? (actual version is 2.0) This program shows you the settings.
Happy pulsaring
