Don't know if it's usefull, but now I am back to Y9-5-6 and the CPU is going crazy too. Soundcard buffer is at the lowest, Q1 = -4 (lowest possible) and the sound is ok (but normal mode). At start of playing the display goes black and takes some minutes to reappear. If I open taskmanager it takes a long time to open and shows nothing. After some minutes it shows a lot of 100% spikes on al four cores for the complete period available in the graph.
But the music is ok!

Hi Peter,
I checked the old log files and on 21/2/2010 all logs said special mode. Does the data give any clue to what my settings were?

OK, here are the results:
3.6 ms 5.6 ms 9.6 ms 13.6 ms 17.6 ms 25.6 ms 37.6 ms 44 88 176 352 529 705 1058 1587 48 96 192 384 576 768 1152 1728 88 176 352 705 1058 1411 2116 3175 96 192 384 768 1152 1536 2304 3456 192 384 768 1536 2304 3072 313 2617
So these are the samples. What is the buffersize with these????

Sorry, Milliseconds of course. I'll type over the complete list tonight for your info/fun. Adaptive mode works like you explained with lowering the buffersize (in my case to 256). Special mode worked before, I'll try to find the old log! And of course I'll try to make it work again and write down all the settings. After that the Wife Acceptance test!

88 samples is the lowest value I can set in the terratec software ,which says 3.6 (or 3.2? (at work now)) seconds latency. This is for asio, but it makes a difference when I change it so I guess it's just general latency.
Is the previous version exactly the same in normal mode? (Then I'll have to listen better tonight) (Special mode did not work for me in the last two versions, but maybe I have to try more for that?)

But keep on being critical where needed ! Ok, You asked for it... I tried 9y-7 and it worked ok in adaptive mode with 256 and 88 samples in the terratec. It sounds very detailed, BUT there is a high frequency ringing to voices (transients) that I think will make my ears bleed if I turn up the volume. Details are etched out, but there is still the smell of acid around. Maybe it is my OS-DAC that is unmasked now, or is this version perfect only for NOS-DAC's? So I went back to 9-y5-8 (?) and the sound was smooth again although with less detail, but more analog like. Only I did not manage to get it back in special mode yet. So is it just me complaining? Or maybe some better settings? (DAP, DAI, NOS all the same for this problem) Sorry to be critical!

That is, at a higher setting the two channels start to work ?
No, I would wish so! I guess they made a bad USB-to-SPDIF converter in China for my DAC. I don't think Left and Right get seperated before the input/samplerateconverter but it looks that way. Or it must be the USB-codec in the PC, since 'test' is also like that.

Peter, Does your fireface work with engine4 special mode? I think it's quite similar to the terratec (same Envy-chip).
Then does AMD (quadcore) work with engine 4 special mode? I think core-appointment is not really working the same (?). Seems there can be a problem with AMD-chipsets and Hiface too... (asynchronus USB-mode not properly supported)
Anybody?
