Title: EMU 0404 Post by: Goto on October 10, 2009, 06:08:11 pm Hi
Is this DAC a known issue with XXHighEnd? I have tried to get this soundcard working on mmy Vista PC (SP1). I have the latest soundcard drivers, it works with iTunes and Sonar 6 etc. But no matter how I set the DAC settings I get an error with XXHE (any of the several versions I have tried). It says "DAC Unablle to accept this byte sequence...) Then it shows me a small window with something like 2|44100|16|176000 which I would guess is 2 channels, 44.1khz etc. Using an MAudio Audiophile 2496 card, I have no issues, but I believe the Emu card supports upto 192khz which would be nice for quad upsampling Arc Prediction. Anyone got this card working? Thanks Mark Title: Re: EMU 0404 Post by: Gerard on October 10, 2009, 06:25:49 pm Hi Is this DAC a known issue with XXHighEnd?

Anyone got this card working? Thanks Mark Hi Mark, I to have a Emu. (1212m) And not being able to set it to 192. The only thing it will play is 16 44.1. In the settings area you will have to set it to 44.1. And also in xx you must set it to 16/44.1. I have tried many many setting but it will not play when i set XX to 24/192 and the Emu on 192. Than i get the same error and sometime's in a different setting than 16/44.1 it gives a strange sound. I am waiting until some special DAC is ready so i will leave it at 16/44.1. With that i am very happy at the moment. :) Grtz Title: Re: EMU 0404 Post by: PeterSt on October 10, 2009, 06:28:27 pm Mark,
I would set "DAC Is" to 24/96, start with "DAC Needs" at 32 and when that doesn't work "DAC Needs" to 24. When those both settings don't work set the DAC Needs to 32 again and start digging in the diver interface. I coincidentally have one myself (PCI), but never got it working because of that stupid driver program. Someone in here, however, did, but I don't recall who it was (Gerard ?). So I hope he will jump in. ... ah, he just did. So that is a 1212. Hmm ... Peter Title: Re: EMU 0404 Post by: Gerard on October 10, 2009, 06:34:08 pm I get this when i set it to 192.
I was playing for it a few day's ago since the ARC upsampling... Did not like it that i to can't play this. The specs of this Emu tells otherwise. :) Title: Re: EMU 0404 Post by: Gerard on October 10, 2009, 06:47:04 pm Mark, I would set "DAC Is" to 24/96, start with "DAC Needs" at 32 and when that doesn't work "DAC Needs" to 24.

That's exactly what I get. I've given up, removed the card and gone back to the Audiophile which is happy to send 24 bits at 92kbits/sec to my Buffalo24. It does sound very good - I was just hoping I could try the 4x upsampling on offer now. Thanks Guys. Peter, if you ever do get the 0404 to play nice, please let us know and how!

Mark I like to say though that in the Xp day's it did work. Since Vista nope.... Thanx for this.... Does make my feeling about this dac a bit better. (Meaning maybe not my knowlegde about the Emu) Good luck... :) |
