Subject: No Sound on Lynx AES16e
Posted: March/11/2010 at 4:13am

ok I got a couple of questions here:

1- Can I plug the AES16e which is a PCI-Ex1 card into a PCI-Ex16 slot?

2- whenever I reboot the computer, one of the channels of PLAY01+02 is muted and I have to go to the windows control audio control panel-> Speakers properties and un-mute it, only then under lynx mixer it shows and plays properly. ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:13:02 +0000 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3125&PID=18560#18560 Lynx Support Forum : Strange problem with AES 16e in Windows 7 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3121&PID=18559#18559 Author: RafQue

@Senor Fred:

Me and others posting on this tread experience the same problems as you have. It has to do something with compatibility problems between the new driver and (Steinberg's) ASIO I guess. I also have the problem that next to the fact these crackling errors sound very annoying and unprofessional to my clients, for me it's most unpleasant to work with my system at this moment... :(

Hi beneficienci,

"SpeedStep" is an option on some motherboards. If it is on board you can disable it in the BIOS of your system. If it's not there, don't worry; you don't have Speedstep.
But disabling doesn't solve the problem...

As the Canadian dollar gets closer to the US$ so does the purchase date of my new Aurora 16 VT :)
 
Of course if you're going to spend SOME money why not spend MORE, so I'll be refreshing my box as well.
 
I run Reaper.
 
New box:
Windows 7 64 bit
i7 980x
Mucho RAM
Big SATA drives
SSD's - multi level chip for sample playback, and possibly one with single level chip for recording.
Graphics -- thinking Gigabyte Silent Cell (NVidia 9800 1GB) to use CUDA with Nebula
 
I used to know about busses, but am sadly very much behind the times now, so:
 
Is the SATA bus separate from the PCI bus? -- The SSD's will be trying to saturate the SATA bus.
 
Does the Nvidia 9800 series play nice on the PCI bus with the AES PCIe? -- Note that the CUDA Nebula processing will likely require a lot of bus traffic to / from the video card
 
Thoughts, suggestions appreciated.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I've got the same problem, though pretty rarely.
ASRock P55 Pro, Core i7 860, Win7 x64, AES16e-SRC, driver build 17 RC4a, Duende Classic Firewire (but I had the issue before I got the Duende), Reaper 64

It has something to do with DPC-Latency and spikes, yes. I disabled on-board-sound and SpeedStep and everything was way better - Before it took only a few seconds before the sound became robotic in lower latencies. You could also see the spike in the DPC-Lat-checker which seemed to have caused it.
However, it still happens from time to time, no matter if you're @ 32 samples or 1024.
I can stress the system like crazy, clicking around the project, lots of plugins etc. - and then, when I'm doing nothing special (adjusting an EQ band for example) it just switches to robotic/ring-modulator-sound. Click on Reapers audio device settings, close it again, everything good again (matter of 1 second). Even when the Project's not running.

I even had some musicians in the booth suddenly looking heavily scared when I talked to them because my talkback voice had changed to evil robot ;-)

I'm not sure if that relates only to software-monitoring-sound or if the on-card-direct-monitoring also gets distorted (I don't use the monitoring mixer, only software-monitoring here)

I tried to find out if it's related with the dropout counters in Lynx mixer. Sometimes they start counting up like crazy in robot-mode, sometimes they don't.

Hello!

We've actually done lot's of testing with the latest AES16e drivers and firmware (17 / 11).

DAW System:
WinXP64
4x 3Ghz @ 8GB RAM
Nuendo 4.3 + NEK
Reason 4
Kontakt 4
Kontakt 3
Reaktor 5
3x Lynx AES16e
3x Lynx Aurora 16

The system really works fine (if the driver does). We have best DPC conditions, no CPU spikes in the project and everything worked well already.

While using 17RC4a or 17RC3e crackling comes up after a while - especially when you switch presets in VST instruments or change some settings or just wait a few minutes.
We've disabled the multi-processor support in Nuendo but it makes no difference.
The only way to stop this crackling is to switch to another buffer size or to reset the driver - but you have to do this VERY often. (you can forget working that way when clients are present!)

The problem occurs in sessions with low and also with high CPU usage and comes up again automatically.

The last project we tried with the 17RC4a was recording 2 channels @ 24/48. When we switched to record to loop thru the signal the crackling starts just at the beginning.
Even at other buffer sizes. It's the same when you startup a project or a blank project and try out to playback a VST-Synth or something like that.

We've taken out 2 of the 3 cards to be sure that there's no problem in handling multiple cards - but it doesn't matter.

Something wrong is going on.


We went down the driver releases to earlier drivers and when we tried it with the 17RC2 the crackling was no longer present.

But I don't know which funny unknown issues will wait for us.

Clocking works fine - system is stabile - except the driver.

Really don't know what's going on.

Maybe you've got the answer!

Regards,
Fred

Thanks, for the info. I'm pretty well rolling now. Still confused by the ARC mixer but, I'll figure it out.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:30:09 +0000 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3139&PID=18552#18552 Lynx Support Forum : Setting Sample Rate http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3139&PID=18551#18551 Author: jmcecil

I was at Firmware 24 on the Aurora, and the 19 was I guess for the Remote Control? Anyhow, re-installed 5.12 and it seems to be working properly now.

Is there a manual for the Remote Control Mixer section? I can't seem to find it.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:49:27 +0000 http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3139&PID=18551#18551 Lynx Support Forum : Lynx V2 Driver Build 17 RC4 for Windows http://www.lynxstudio.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3097&PID=18550#18550 Author: shawnguess
