Hello All,

I am having some problems with some recently purchased HDSPe MADI cards. These are the first PCIe cards that we have owned but have several systems already working with multiple PCI versions. The problem I am having sounds exactly like a clocking problem but all seems to be OK in status. The audio sounds partly distorted on all channels and there are occaional pops and clicks.

We have two cards installed in a MSI P35 Platinum MoBo with a 3.0Ghz Core 2 Duo and 4Gb RAM, Windows XP. The inputs are being fed from another PCI card based Recorder with outputs running to a DIGICO D5 for monitoring. Word clocks are distributed from a DA and all cards report that they are synced. Cards are upgraded to Version 16 and running the latest WDM streaming driver. Even with no software runniogn and just routing through the card I still get clicks and pops.

Any Ideas?
