Hi,

I worked with my digi9636 for 5 years without any problems under WinXP (SP1,2, and 3) even with a huge amount of audio codecs. I rebuild my System, now I have WinXP, the latest driver for the 9636 and no matter which audio file I play I have ticks. Of course the on board soundcard is deactivated in the Bios (always was). The problem appeared on a clean system so its no matter of an audio codec conflict. Latency low or high makes no difference. I can say for sure its a problem with the digi9636 because for a test I activated the on board souncard which works fine. It is also not a problem with Cubase because the ticks are there with every tool playing audio files (mp3, wav, aif, etc etc). I am using it together with a Creamware ultra, of course I checked other inputs, ouputs here. But the Creamware is a simple device, it doesnt come with a driver.

I hope someone can help me (use a different slot, reinstall card, use other latency is not a solution!)

Thanx, Ingo
