Hello,
I know, old technology, but there's a method to my madness.
Setup: 2.4GHz 512MB RAM, XP.
I get distortion on playback when recording from both the analog and SP/DIF inputs (taking that from a DAT deck) The distortion is happening going in, as I exported to wav and checked it out on my laptop. It also distorts on playback from within Audacity before exported to another format. It's an old (2004) box, but I do everything OTB, and only want to use the box for mixdown, a little editing and fades in audacity and burning final CD. It's dedicated to music only. So for running a two channel Delta card, no internet, Audacity, Cakewalk 9, it's plenty powerful.
I've turned off the internal card in BIOS, moved the card to a new slot, re-installing the latest (XP) drivers, bumping DMA buffers to 512. The only way I can monitor is by using "Monitor Mixer" for input. I'd like to use Audacity, as again, I'm only using the box as basically a two track tape deck, so I'm not asking a whole lot of the hardware here.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
