i just got my audiophile and its popping when i play songs in winamp and everything else, right down to the system startup sounds. i tried switching the card into 2 different pci slots and ive tried adjusting the buffer size and such. nothings helped. i think im using wdm drivers and maybe i should be using asio? i dont know how to change the drivers tho, ive installed the newest drivers from the website and my computer blue screened and froze... grr

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks much -dave
 
How much hard disk space is left? in the past this has happened to me and after I removed some things on my OS drive the popping stopped, I dont know if this is a unique situation or not, hope that helps you out.
 
Wow, well that was not the problem, it does sound like a driver issue, use the drivers off of the disk that came with the card, I used the WDM drivers when I had that card installed on my machine.
 
i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the cd drivers but still no luck, one thing i forgot to mention was that it skips more when im opening a document or ie window. i have 256 ram and a 2.0ghz. amd proccesor, is that fast enough?
 
gives us a detail of your computer specs and the AUdiophile driver you're using...

I have a Athlon2000XP, ABit NF7 mobo(Nforce chipset), 512RAM, XP-pro running Audiophile with the latest driver.
 
i have a anthlon xp 2400, 256 mb ram, ASUS A7N266-VM x86..im running windows xp professional sp1
 
OK 2 things to try

1st-go to the M-Audio site and check for updated drivers for sure,I got my card a while back and Im sure the drivers they supply by disk are new but still check for updated ones

2nd-Are you sure when you went into control panel and picked your soundcard you didnt pick like Audiophile ASIO and if you did then try to go to the M-Audio control panel and adjust the sample rate on the bottom left corner to a higher rate number and if that doesnt work then choose just like AP/Multi Mix or soemthing like that in the soundcard option under control panel
 
Either you have a faulty card, or there some settings problems. You have plenty of system power and memory so that cant be the problem. Try the maudio website, they might be able to help.
