I restarted, then stopped playing the wav file and, bsod again. The culprit seems to be this:
portcls.sys
Speakers off this time :D

PS: Suggestion: put a save settings so when it crashes i dont loose everything. Yeah, this is annoying. But it really is getting the habit of -after a new version- set your settings, and after that click Off. Then it's saved. Not that I ever thought of that myself before I lost my settings for whatever "test" reason. On the BSOD ... do you really get that ? normal Vista, or SP1 maybe ? If you can be more precise on the error(s) maybe I can help ? Also, let's wait a bit please. Maybe others have that too now, because I *do* something which is not completely legal (but it works okay here for the 3 soundcards I have here).   I do that, but because the errors/crashes are sometimes unpredictable, i would still prefer a save settings. Just posted the Error. The bsod type has been pointed out in my previous post. I'm 99% sure that is because of the cr*ppy terratec beta drivers. i didnt install SP1 yet, I planned to if i couldnt still get exclusive mode, but i can :D :D The FUNNY thing is that i'm using Exclusive mode now! All those errors are gone. |

But keep in mind, the uprating possibility from 44.1/16 to 88.2/24 seems important (no matter it apparently should be 96).
I say : 50% chance that I can solve it.
Well, I just installed v 09u-1. I tried to do the dac test. As soon as i hit play i get an error that the file is already in use or something like this (i'm trying to replicate, because i didnt save it in photoshop before the BSOD). Hitting ok, error again, and it loops. I shut down xxhe and this time without doing anything i hit play, and it started playing without errors. I hit stop and poof, BSOD irql_not_less_than_equal bah. I blame Terratec drivers not you. I really need to get another sound device. Please suggest me something cheap that i can use to keep doing tests.

Good idea. Beware that they have also 24/174.6 True. But that will work "by itself" now. If anyone has a link to such a file I'll be glad to test it ... If that is a link to a private page, please PM instead of making it public (because of copyright and stuff). They will sell the files on (data) DVDs. No downloads. I havent found any 24/174.6 file on the net to try. Yet. |

Hi Telstar,
I'm using a terratec phase 24FW, costed 175€.
All I could find on the internet about it was very positive. But most in German, I guess Italians can read German??
Just my 10 cents.
No, we don't normally learn German at school  Terratec eh? My dmx6 fire is a Terratec one, an excellent value, lasted for 10 years, but now it is time to upgrade and i DO WANT to use the exclusive mode of xxhe on my studio pc. Where did you buy it for 175€? Does it have good drivers for Vista? Do you use XXHE model #3 in exclusive mode, don't u? |

OK, I'm here again because I decided to get an audio interface that will replace the internal dmx6fire of my studio "music" PC.
0) Must be firewire. 400 or 800 doesnt matter (my workstation has 400 only onboard and I'm not buying a dedicated controller)
1) Have SQ comparable to the Fireface when used as digital (spdif out) transport only. I need this to compare the SQ of my modded Teac with the Computer transport, using 16/44.1 sources and the NOS TwinDAC+.
2) Use exclusive mode with xxhighend.
3) Costs less than 300€ and have decent SQ on its own for being left to the studio pc (vista workstation with Tannoy Reveal 5s acrtive speakers) when I'll find the ultimate high-res dac.
4) Must be available in Europe.
I was considering:
-ESI Duafire (not sure of the SQ)
-Something from m-audio (but i dont trust much their quality)
-A used FF400, but they go to 400-500€ at least.
-Apogee duet does NOT work under Vista, thanks to those i*iots that think only about mac
-Something from EMU maybe?
-Something else?
