Sonar/Audiophile issues at 96K

[Middleman]

Anyone have strange things start to occur when they record at 96K. Such as:

Multiple Main busses not working correctly. Jumpy faders.

Can't figure if this is Sonar or the Audiophile 24/96 driver.

What's the latency readout when working at 96k? Switching to 96 from 44.1 or 48 will halve the latency and you might have to tweak either the latency slider or "buffers in playback queue" up.
haven't seen this myself, just a theory

what OS are u using?

could be the audiophile drivers...cuz as we know m-audio WDM drivers aren't the greatest(if u are using WDM)

trying increasing the buffer in the m_audio control panel

You could try to use MME-drivers... Go to Options -> Audio -> Advanced and check the "Alway use MME-drivers....." box.

The OS is WinXP
The latency is 2.3 ms and records fine. No choking.

Just weird screen stuff and routing issues that go away at lower speeds.

"Just weird screen stuff" isn't supposed to be there... What videocard do you have?

I have a vodoo 4500, er 4000 maybe, can't remember. Older board.

The video thing, slugish screens and jumping faders, I could live with but I rely on 3 main busses for hardware routing and sub-groups. The routing is messed up cause when I raise the main B, my instrument submix, the Main A, vocal submix, cuts out and vice versa. The only way it works is with putting everything on Main A.

I did however upgrade to 2.2 last night and have not had a chance to check this out. Will do today and report back.

Just an update.

Talked to the Sonar people today via phone. It seems there is some wierdness with 96K about which they were not ready to point fingers at M-Audio and the 24/96 board. If you use multiple main busses as submix groups, lets say you set it up for 4 main busses A, B, C, D, the B main sub does not work. A,C and D will be fine. Only happens at 96K.

I still think it could be the M-Audio drivers however the tech I talked to was reluctant to admit that, so he must have know something he was not relaying.

At lower speeds 44.1, 48, there is not a problem.
