Hi there,
in the cover art where the information about weather PA is enganged (*~*) or not (_~_) is shown, it always shows (_~_) no matter what I do. I have tried to fix it, reading the manual but I cannot get it running.

I use -30dbs volume with peak extension and arcpred.

As far as I understand it is also important to have a large latency which is determined by the buffersize (in my case 256) Q1 and xQ1. The manual says that a buffer size 4096 * Q1= 30 * xQ1= 1 will work. This situation should be equal to 256 * 30 * 16. But unfortunatly with this settings I do not get any sound at all, although playback starts (Coverarts still shows _~_). The highest latency I can get is 256 * 22 * 2.

Later in the manual a latency with 4096 * 14 * 1 is advised, using a SFS of 2. This would be equal to 256 * 14 * 16 but at this values I get no sound. As I said, the highest latency I can get is 256 * 22 * 2. Shouldn't it be possible to even lower SFS and then it should work? Well, it doesn't to a point of SFS=0.2.

Another reason it doesn't work could be a faulty activation. As I was one the beta testers (and apparently not a good one, otherwise I should have noticed), something could have been messed up. I think this could be the issue, because after some time XX just quits. Formaly it is activated and no undemo sign is shown at the core appointment pull down menue. Do I have to reactivate XX with paypal or is a fresh installation of Windows 7 in order? Should I anyway get a new activation key?

Any idea?

Hi there Adrian,

Thank you for your extensive elaboration on your attempt, but sadly, yes, it was immediately clear to me that your Activation is not right. But then for those beta rounds this was all a sort of wackey - and well, that is what the beta testing was for.

So indeed, please get youself a new Activation Code through Paypal. Of course the money will be returned as soon as it is seen.

Thanks a lot,
Peter

Thanks Peter. I will wait until I get back my graphics card, which had to be repaired, and then make a freash installation of W7. Fromt that clean point, I will get the new activation code and try again.
Greetings

I've the same issue as Flecko PA not working with z7-3. I've got everything working except PA. I don't have any problems with XXhighend quitting though. Should I reactivate?

I think it is not clear (because I didn't make that much clear) that each new version has to be Activated explicitly. That doesn't mean, though, that you should get yourself a new Code (okay, which you just did). Just use the old (0.9z-7) one ...

I think it is not clear (because I didn't make that much clear) that each new version has to be Activated explicitly.

Or maybe I did :

Quote

Apart from hopping to a pre-0.9z-7 version to 0.9z-7 and above - for which applies what just has been described, *any* new version needs explicit Activation from now on; use the 0.9z-7 Code you obtained earlier and apply it to the Activation Procedure (see below);
Copying the .dat file you may be used to, is not sufficient anymore !


... which is from How to Activate 0.9z-7 and up ...

You are not to blame. So, for years it worked as it worked, and now that suddenly changed. And of course, it can not be expected that *all* of my blah blah is read throughout ...

I have success at last no DC at amplifiers the needle barely moved. I tested at different volumes while PA engaged.

What is interesting it plays whole albums at SFS 2 setting which it never did on version 6 or early 7 versions.

No unsettling ticks or plops, only minor ticks where they should be.

Just had a short check. The needle still gets out of the groove at the end but much more subtle.
Because I didn't get an email with the activationcode I decided to save it before using the new one. Still an email-bug?

Apart from hopping to a pre-0.9z-7 version to 0.9z-7 and above - for which applies what just has been described, *any* new version needs explicit Activation from now on; use the 0.9z-7 Code you obtained earlier and apply it to the Activation Procedure (see below);
Copying the .dat file you may be used to, is not sufficient anymore !


Hi Peter,

I also encountered problem engaging PA with Z703. I am pretty certain it is not related to activation in my case as I did use the previously obtained code and also a newly acquired code today with same outcome on PA.

Increasing buffer size (eg Q1 = 30 x 3) will not engage PA. The only setting that I can get PA engaged is to set "fade out step" to 0 and the other new feature within PA to 0 too (sorry cannot remember the name - it is on top of fade out step). Any other setting than 0 will result in an deactivation of PA regardless of buffer size, sfs, or min OS. With both new feature under PA settings at 0, there is plop and low frequency AC pulse in case as found in previous version of Z7.

Best regards,
Praphan

Hi Praphan

When you set it at a different setting than zero (SFS Rounds) PA is engaged after the seconds you have set but you can't see the engaging on the coverart.

If i understand it correctly.
