Crap!

Thinking, thinking... (being drunk, drunk, drunk. It's 03:02 here).



This might be a shot in the dark, but have you defragmented your harddrives lately?
 
Two things, probably nothing...
I haven't seen anywhere in here where you confirmed that the Delta clock is set internal (since it's the record master).
Do you see the clicks coinciding with what's on the wave display or are they random on playback?

Unrelated to click-free playback, but wouldn't you want the best posible clock/DA combination for the important tasks, maybe just switch it back for the games?

1. What do you mean confirm the delta clock is set internal????

2. I assume that the clicks go with the way form, because when you arne't playing no clicks happen, and when I do thats when they occur, just as the original clip I posted.

3. What do you mean clock/da combination?
 
The Delta is master? When I pull up my sound card it has options for who is the clock. Just thought the Delta might be looking for an external source.

If the waveform looked solid- or not, it might point to problems at the A/D end or on the playback end. If you loose clock at the A/D end you have spikes that match the clicks, and they'd be repeatable, always in the same place.

3. What do you mean clock/da combination?
Just that somewhere I got the idea that on recording and on playback was (the only place?) where clock matters, and the Delta might be the better.
No biggy likely.

It's really late. I'm probably screwing this up.
 
Try this

Start a fresh recording and record it at 48K rate. Then make sure you play it back at 48K.
In the past I had a card that actually worked at 48K internally, and if you choose a slower sample rate it slowed the card down and got pops and clicks.
 
Did you ever try going with just the Delta card?

Hope you break through soon.:(

James, what does that patch really do? I have a VIA motherboard.

And maybe I'm stupid, but I thought VIAs latest 4-in-1 drivers should do the trick?
 
I thought that's what they promised, unfortunatelly, not in my case, moskus. This small patch worked better at least in my case. I guess we'll never know which works for who... :(

I still have my onboard sound that I would have to use, are you suggesting using that, and not the Live? I don't see how that can work. But it this point, I have to try everything. I'll do it later to see what happens.
 
Hold on!


You have three soundcards active in that computer? And it starts up?

I would get rid of the Live! and disable the onboard soundcard.

The onboard sound card would have the most latency.. I agree with Moskus, try disabling it in the BIOS and try again.

I don't have speakers/ monitors to hook up to my delta. And I use this computer for everything. But i'll give it a shot as I said just to see what happens.

So what are you speakers hooked up to?
