more annoying problems with my new card

[Vadim]

When I bought Emu 1212m, It was impossible to watch DVDs on the pc, because of audio was "trembling".
But I also just started using Ableton, and audio in Ableton is also not so nice, I also Installed more memory: 768MB RAM. And setting audio buffer to highest latency doesn't help either.
Audio was actually better in most cases with my Old HP's onboard sound card, and it's realtek drivers...

I don't wanna get rid of 1212m, because I like it's Optical S/PDIF Ins, even thou I have an isuue with that also: My Triton Studio S/P DIF out is 48 Khz, so I have to switch 1212m into 48Khz, And than when I open a program such as Cubase or Sonar it says: Audio switched to 44.1 Khz...

Is it possible to fix these problem somehow?

You may just need to adjust the PCI Latency Timer of your video card, or possibly the soundcard if it allows that adjustment to be made. If you have Firewire, USB, and even Ethernet cards, these may need PCI Latency Timer adjustments also for the whole system to play right.

There is a program called PowerStrip that will allow you to do this.

may be that's where the problem is? it should work fine with latency around 5-10ms.

i currently have an E-mu 1820 besides a Tascam FW1884 and EZBUS. the emu sounds amazingly good to my ears (i've worked on 02R96, protools HD... etc).

i see no reason why you should have any problem with the 1220 although i have never used this particular model.

I usualy have it at 7ms.
But when I imported few loops into ableton, they sound vibrating, I tried changing tempo of the loops, but it's the same.

Have you checked your ASIO settings on it?

I checked ASIO settigns, I tried even DrectX Driver...
Audio works fine in other programs, but not ableton, or when watching dvd.
