Hi Drax, Yes, please report any bugs you find in the new drivers on our formal bug tracking system. There is a link to do so on the PowerSDR menu bar.
The "raspy audio" came into existence with the advent of Windows 7. It occurs only on some specific system configurations and to my knowledge is isolated to Win7. I have reported this on the reflector before but will repeat it here. I run PowerSDR Win7 64-bit on a Gateway SX2800-07 PC with zero issues. I run two receivers at 192 kHz and 512 buffers in Normal mode with no raspy audio. However, that was *not* the case when I used the on board FireWire card. I had that exact raspy audio problem after running a few minutes. I had to work really hard to get it to go away. When I finally installed a good PCI Express FireWire card, it completely solved the problem and I have never seen it again. There may be other PC system issues that can cause this problem but that card solved mine. The vast majority of customers are not having problems with this. A little background on this issue. Microsoft completely rewrote the IEEE-1394 interface for Windows 7. That meant that our FireWire chip vendor had to write new drivers in conjunction with Microsoft to support the new code from Microsoft. FlexRadio does *not* write the driver nor do we have access source code for the core driver. We are completely dependent on Microsoft and our chip vendor to get this right. We are reporting issues to our chip vendor and they are working with us to resolve any issues. To summarize, this is either a Microsoft Window 7 problem or a FireWire driver problem or both. It also is specific to certain PC configurations because the vast majority of customers do not have the problem. As I stated above, I had it and fixed it with a hardware change. We appreciate your patience while our chip vendor and Microsoft sort this out. 73, Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091 Pond Springs Road, #250 Austin, TX 78729 Phone: 512-535-4713 Ext. 202 Email: [email protected] Web: www.flex-radio.com Tune In Excitement (TM) PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 8:12 PM, Drax Felton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Raspy audio: OK Subject dropped.
