What is the current driver/firmware that you use now, and what did you use before? Did you try the simple Windows Device manager 'use previous driver' - function?

Hello,

now, i could totally deinstall the driver 3.52 and could totally remove it.

After remove the hdsp in the system and restart the system, we have to install a driver for the hdsp hardware.
So i used the older driver v2.94.
While installing, the system searches file hdsp.sys, hdsp_64.sys and hdsp.inf.

These files were not in the driver folder, so i decided to install without these files, to flash the card with the old fw.

After flashing, disconnecting from energie, i restarted the system and the driver has to be installed again.

So i did this, but the files aren`t in the folder, as told on the top of this post.

Perhaps the problem is the hardware flash rev 17. Is it posiible to downgrade the fw of the hdsp to rev 15?? Perhaps with rev 15. it will work together the driver 2.94?!?!?

Hi,

i totally removed the driver, and removed the card from the system.
Before, we used driver 3.52 and i want to downgrade to 2.94 with fw rev 15, actually.
The porblem is: with fw rev 17, i cant install driver 2.94. I cant install it, cause he searches for the told files.
But i can`t "downflash" the card without a driver.
When i`ll "downflash" the card with installed driver 3.52, to downgrade the bios, he always writes, up-to-date with rev17. i cant get rev15.
So, i cant remove flash rev 17, to install the older driver v 2.94 and i can`t flash the fw without a driver.
Thats the problem.
Is it possible to clear the fw totally or something else??

Sry, its driver version 3.085, that was my fault, please read all 3.52 as 3.085.
Flashtool is https://archiv.rme-audio.de/download/fut_win_dsp.zip. to get to rev 15, that should work togehter with the old driver 2.94 (6).

So, i can`t install driver 2.94(6) correctly, cause some files were missing.

And i cant donwflash our card to rev15, to install driver 2.94(6) correctly.

Hello again,

i`ve deinstalled all rme drivers, removed all paths manually and searched via windows search for hdsp.inf, hdsp_64.sys and so on.
No file could be found, so i thought, that the new driver ist totally deinstalled. am i wrong??? Should i search elsewhere?

Than, i tried to install v2.94(6) and he asked again after the files. so wheres the problem? what can i do to delete all RME driver 3.0xx filse from our system??

I thought, that he needs these files, cause theres rev 17 installed, but you didnt agree to my suggestion.

Hello Daniel,

i always tried it manually, but not via searching for manufactures and so on.
So, driver downgrade was succsessfully to 2.94(6) with Hardware rev17.
But the problem with the lost samples also occurs, strangely after track 6 up to 12. Channel 1-5 work fine and loose no samples.
Is there another older driver?? The problem is, the system worked with 12 inputs in the past.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

thank you for your answer.
I already used Latency Check, the latency goes maximum to 800mikroseconds, which is green in the programm. I think its a bit high, but for this system very good.

We didn`t do other changes, cause the system is very proper and runs runs runs.

Until 4 weeks, the crackles are on tape, but i cant exactly describe since when the problems occure.

And yes, we use the cardbus.

I also installed sam v11.1, but its the same failure, lost samples in the wave.

Hello agaibn,

thank you for the link.
I could successfully install the hardware revission 15, but it wont work. Always those crackles.

But perhaps, i could solve the problem with other latency settings.
Our card was set to 512samples when the problem occure, so i decided to set it down to 256 or 128.
And now, the system works fine, no crackles, no signal in the playbackdevice while recording.

I`m a little confused, could this solve the problem?? Have you ever heard about it??
Was 512samples to much?? Does it work better with less latency?

You can try the following things:

Make sure that *any* software/driver for media and other special keys for your Asus laptop is killed. Does it make a difference?

Try running the laptop on battery (unplugged) and try with and without the onboard audio driver being installed (deactivate via Device-Manager).

Unplug *all* other external connections, including USB and external display.

Deactivate *all* USB hubs/ports/devices apart from the keyboard (try even that, but make sure you've got mouse control to reactivate it).
