Recording 24 bit problems with Audiophile 2496

[dmbpettit]

I have a Audiophile 2496 and an Audigy 2 Platinum. I would like to experiment with 24/96 recording and I know that the audigy is not capable of this so I disabled it in the input devices but left it enabled for playback. When select 24 bit and 96K after restarting to make the Audigy changes, I start to record. When I play back, the audio is garbly and sounds like it is underwater. What do I need to do to fix this?

I thought that Audigy 2 was able to record 24 bit, but what do I know?


Anyway, have you disabled the Audigy under Options -> Audio -> Driver and is the Audiophile set to default playback device under Options -> Audio -> General?

I gave up trying to do the 24 bit recording for the time being but ever since I tried it, Sonar 3 is all out of what. I recorded a vocal track and a guitar one. But when I unselect the tracks for recording, all the sound go garbly and underwater again. If I select them for recording again and then play it back, the audio goes back to normal.

And again:

Is the Audiophile set to default playback device under Options -> Audio -> General?

[dmbpettit]

The audiophile is the default for playback timing master and recording timing master. But under windows xp's control panel. the audigy is the default for everything.

I think moskus was right, Audigy 2 Platinum is capable of recording and playback 24/96. But you need to check Playback timing master, and Record timing master to it. And don't forget to match the sampling rate. I don't have Audigy 2 Platinum, so I'm not sure if there's something to adjust on it's control panel. So, would you check it out...

The audigy has nowhere that you pick the sample rate (atleast that I have ever found. I reinstalled Sonar 3 and the audiophile's drivers (the newest ones from m-audio) and everything seems to be working.

From everyone's own experience, do wierd things just happen sometimes?
