doug Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 From what I've read, some notebooks have a problem of shared IRQs between the firewire device and some other critical device - perhaps the video or USB system. Ideally the firewire should have its own IRQ. On some notebooks this can't be changed, which is bad news. I'm actually dealing with a similar problem on my destop machine, and I've already set up the firewire on its own IRQ, so there are apparently other causes of this problem as well. Your next step might be to try other prgrams to see if the problem is specific to Samplitude. In my case, the problem seems to be much more pronounced in Samplitude -- just grabbing the curve in the EQ window kills the audio. There's also a patch one must apply to Win XP to speed up the firewire transfer rate, if you're using that OS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalio Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 thanks a lot. could you say to me where i can find the patch to speed up firewire? it is very strange because i use an HP business with texas instruments chispet, so with fireface all should be ok...

siriusbliss Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 What happens if you raise the buffer setting in RME and Samplitude settings ('Y' key)? Which video card, and does it have the latest drivers? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Information about the patch is at the RME forum: http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4123 BUT, if you are using your FF800 at the lower speed, as I am because my HP laptop only runs at the Firewire 400 speed, you dont need the patch, as it is only for making Windows XP SP3 work at the Firewire 800 speed. The usual problem that causes the effect you describe when you move windows around is the audio devices connected to your FF800. This is a grounding fault. Try to see if you still get these lost buffers if no inputs are connected to your FF800. (Turn up all the volumes and record noise!) You can contact Tom Sailor, through this forum (Orange Hill Audio). He has extensive experience with RME and Samplitude and he may be able to help you.

david-p Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 thanks david, no i have these problems also with only headphones connected to fireface. How about when you are running your laptop from its internal batteries, with only the FF800 connected to the wall power? Do you run dpclat.exe to check that your laptop is able to record without lost buffers? http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Here's something to check-open the Fireface settings control panel when you get the lost asio buffers in Sam.If you see errors reported in the Fireface settings,then there is a firewire throughput problem that may be causing the lost asio buffers. Try a different firewire cable,and also try reducing the number of channels in use with the "limit bandwidth" option in Fireface settings.
