Thank you Tim. It definitely is "Your mileage may vary". I seem to have gotten the most benefit from changing the Delta 44 control panel DMA buffer size from 256 to 1024. I changed the PowerSDR Setup DSP buffers to 2048. I experimented with PowerSDR Setup Audio buffers between 256 and 2048 and

From the FLex Radio Bug Tracker #394, currently running PowerSDR 1.6.3 SVN 620, I did the suggestion of changing: Delta 44 control panel, Hardware Settings, DMA Buffer Size Latency from 256 to 512 This helped somewhat, but changing it to 1024 reduced the popping/crackling, even in Histogram. In

I am just guessing, I would diff the UI code between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. I think it's related to some change in the PowerSDR software since the poping doesn't happen with v1.6.0 and earlier. I'm not too concerned since I think this will be fixed. > > >Perhaps it's a case of tweaking the UI drawing

BTW Jim, does the noise go away if you set the Display Mode Off? (Panadapter, Waterfall, etc). And does it get worse if you turn on Histogram? Mike - AA8K Jim, W4ATK wrote: > Thanks Mike, > I thought it might be something I had done wrong in the setup. > 73 Jim, W4ATK > ___

Which version of PowerSDR are you using Jim? I get crackling on 1.6.2 and later beta versions, and I'm using the Delta 44, even with slower FPS. Bug Tracker #394. I don't hear it on 1.6.0 or 1.6.1. Mike - AA8K Jim, W4ATK wrote: > I have been playing with the PowerSDR software using my

I have been playing with the PowerSDR software using my in-built sound card (RealTek AC 97). All signals sound buzzy, with a popping on peaks that I have surmized is clipping even with the playback volume set very low. I would appreciate any advice/suggestions. I keep thinking about Lyle's
