Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
I'm currently running into problems with the Creative Labs X-FI card. It seems that when ever Windows makes a sound while JFW is speaking, there will be a popping noise at the beginning of the sound. I'll also get a crackling noise from JFW when arrowing fast through a list. I'm also getting this crackling noise when I've got the "Open dialog" on the Screen in Sound Forge, and I'm arrowing down through each item in the list to see which one I want to open. Plus, when I tap the spacebar in SF, I'll get the popping and crackling at the beginning of playback. Is anyone else having any problems with this, and has anyone found a fix for this? I've been on the phone with Creative, and tried everything they've suggested, but there's been no joy in Muddville. I thought by going all Intel this time on my new system for the processor and chip set, I'd avoid the problems of the past, but I'm running into problems all over again. Plus, this card wasn't one of the cheapest ones on the market. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
Hi, I get some slight clicks and pops from my Audigy 2 card when moveing quickly through things or typing quickly but I think you can't get rid of every single pop and click on JFW. I think part of it may be the low sample rate of the speech and its being upsampled to 48khz for output from the audio card. I tend to just ignore it. Now on my other system I have a SB Live value card and it has a lot mor noticeable popping and clicking on it and I don't prefer it at all and will probably replace it with an Audigy 2 Value card in the near future.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
Is there a way to tell it not to upsample? I use to have all of that plus JFW skipping and losing parts of words on my old system that had a SB Live, but I was told that it was due to using an AMD chip set instead of the Intel processor and chip set. That was one of the main reasons I went all Intel this time. Blessings, Brian - Original Message - From: "Rick Harmon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
Hi, I do not believe there is any way to not upsample. My SBLive is in a Intel system. I am switching my main system to AMD this weekend and will see if the popping gets worse or not.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
I had a lot of crackling with Eloquence when I got this new computer and it's onboard Realtek sound chip. This was fixed by two driver updates. To bad Creative isn't as good with updates. You would think by now they would understand text-to-speech. I understand it shouldn't make a difference if you are using AMD or Intell. It is the motherboard chip set that is more important. There is info about the best chip sets and motherboards on the Creative and other audio forums. - Original Message - From: "Rick Harmon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
I had a lot of crackling with Eloquence when I got this new computer and it's onboard Realtek sound chip. This was fixed by two driver updates. The first fixed slight crackling during playback of any media. The second got rid of clicks at the beginning of sounds and speech. The only audio problem I'm having now is while recording with Sound Forge 5. I still get a bit of glitching even after following all the advice to tune up SF and my computer. I just got a free upgrade to SF7 from Sony so will see if this is better. I'm a bit worried that the chipset on my motherboard may not be good for audio and midi, especially multi-track recording and latency. I understand it really doesn't matter whether you have an AMD or Intel processor. What matters are the controller chip sets on the motherboard. I'd suggest going to the Creative user forums and finding out what's up. I was thinking of getting an X-Fi my self as a second audio only card because I wanted the "SoundFont" technology. However, I think I'll get a M-Audio card instead. To bad Creative isn't as good with their updates as Realtek. You would think by now they would understand text-to-speech. since the old AWE32 came with a special version of DecTalk which was tuned for their onboard DSP. - Original Message - From: "Brian Hansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card? > I'm currently running into problems with the Creative Labs X-FI card.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
I've got the most up-to-date drivers available, and moving the card isn't an option. According to the Asus motherboard manual, the slot I've got the Creative in shares an IRQ with the Firewire port, so I've even disabled the Firewire port in the BIOS to make sure that the X-FI is the only thing on that IRQ.

Re: Crackling & Problems With The Creative X-FI Card?
Hi, Oh what asus board does only have one available pci slot? Never mind. I think it's the way elloquenze is switching sample rate. You should really try moving your card to another slot.

No, what I meant, is the other 2 aren't available. Blessings, Brian - Original Message - From: "Brian Olesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
