Hi Paul,
Exactly what Gigabyte motherboard model is it?

Chris

Anybody could help for this??

Thanx for your reply.

4GB is client's request.
Maybe for future Vista or Windows 7

Remove the MADI and use HDSPe AES only.
works fine.

HDSPe MADI Interface only...perfect

HDSPe AES only..perfect.

Swap Slots...no use, same problems

HDSPe MADI and AES together, but disable one card from Windows setting...perfect

Does that mean the driver for both HDSPe AES and MADI couldn't work together well??
That's the setting for orchestra Recording.
MADI for multichannel recording from Stage, AES for other studio applications.

Hi,
I just use the software to test, all the latency limited to 30-50ms, green bar, no yellow the green bar.
The master clock we've been choose is PrismSound ADA8XR or I've been use MADI converter, or even use Internal clock..
Clock is not a problem...

Hi Paul,

Did you happen to ever torture yourself by reading the nightmare thread titled "Lynx Users Unite" on the Samplitude forum? I spent over a year trying to get my Lynx AES16 card working sith Samplitude 9 (along with many other people) and there may be some things for you to try in that thread if you can stand to read through it.  I wasn't using a GigaByte board (ASUS) but one thing I remember that helped some Gigabyte users was to roll back the motherboard bios to an older version. I can't remember exactly where the cutoff was but fo a Google search on the subject.  I think I even rolled back my ASUS bios and it helped a bit.

What finally got me working Lost ASIO Buffer (LAB) free in Samplitude was to switch to a RME AES32 card and then played with the settings a bit!   Here is page 24 of that thread (see post 594 :-O ) where I finally got things stabilized FWIW:

In case you can't access the Samp forum here is part of what I posted:

OK, just a big FYI update for anyone interested on what I've been doing the last couple months regaring these 'issues'. I haven't spent a lot of time with it but I picked up a used RME AES32 card to try. I've probably spent only 10 days or less with it over the last couple months but here's the basic results:

I ran the same test I've been using for months now, record 16 tracks at once of a test tone from an external (analog) generator. Sample rate 88.2 24 bit clocked externally from Lavry Blue word clock. Hardware monitoring. WinXP Pro SP2 etc. etc. FWIW I can give detailed settings if anyone is interested.

Each 'day' below indicates a different day of testing where the computer was turned of inbetween and one or more days may have passed (maybe even a couple weeks) in-between. I didn't write down testing dates but I kept track in chronological order.

Day 1
(record buffers set to 64)
Unusable, lots of Lost ASIO Buffer errors and performed worse than the Lynx AES-16 at the same buffer setting. Not worth logging.

Day 2
(from here on out all tests are at 128)
Minutes - LAB Free
32 - no
32 - no
60 - yes

Day 3
Minutes - LAB Free
16 - no
70 - yes
126 - yes

Day 4
(from here on out all tests are done with real time waveform display OFF)
Minutes - LAB Free
36 - yes

Day 5
(from here on out all tests are done with transport control OFF)
Minutes - LAB Free
110 - yes
72 - yes

Day 6
Minutes - LAB Free
120 - yes
11 - yes
31 - yes

Day 7
Minutes - LAB Free
73 - yes

Day 8
Minutes - LAB Free
52 - yes
72 - yes
