Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 Sound Card : Driver issues

HEADRAT · 17 Apr 2008 at 15:52

Hi,

I'm outputting over SPDIF (Dolby Digital Live) and using X-Fi CMSS-3D (Stero Surround) to upmix to my speakers and I'm constantly getting problems with looping sounds e.g. the card will stop respoding and just play a loop of a tiny bit of sound!

Anybody getting the same?

Cheers

This is a "new" soundcard!

Here is what I got from them re setting output to 24bit, 192000Hz

HEADRAT · 17 Apr 2008 at 16:54

If I set mine to 16bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality) it's fine, I can't pervceive any difference in quality tbh.

Well I'm currently outputting to all 5 speakers over SPDIF at 24 bit, 96000 Hz with no cracks/pops!

haha well, not freezing is definitely a good thing. i dont own a prelude btw - totally pointless cards to me - but i do have a xonar. its just interesting to see what peoples opinions are

So how can the Prelude be pointless if you own a Xonar, aren't they very similar products?

using their cards with a digital hookup using DD or DTS encoding...why?

Because it was the first card that could do DD or DTS encoding over optical, lol

OK then I stand corrected.
