Subject:Latest Delta drivers in XP; recording 24-bit in SF 7.0a

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone who's using a M-Audio Delta card/interface in Windows XP is having a problem with recording in 24-bit in Sound Forge 7.0a using the latest supported drivers. (The 0036's.)

I'm having problems with my Audiophile 2496; there's just lots of static with 24-bit recordings no matter what the input.

Existing 24-bit files playback fine though. Can also record 16-bit just fine. Strange.

Hey Iacobus,
I had not tried recording 24bit since updating to SF7a and the .36_Final drivers. So after reading your post I decided to check it out for myself. Recording @ 24bit, even 32bit seems to be recording fine. Using WinXP SP1a and a Delta 66. Some good news though, I always had a problem of SF only playing through one side (L or R) when recording @ 24bit with previous app & Delta driver versions. At least the latest Delta .36/SF7a combo has remedied that for me :)

i have no problem recording 24 bits with my Audiophile, but then, i am not certain which driver revision i am using exactly. if the .36 build is very new i'm probably not using them. gonna check it out later on.

well, turns out i didn't have the latest drivers. i installed them now and recorded something in 24 bit, 44 KHz. i don't get any statik or other kind of glitches. did you make certain the input source is set correctly in the control panel?

Hmmm...I seem to have the problem solved. On the Wave tab under Options>Preferences on the menu bar, I checked "Try unpacked 24-bit format first". It now works fine.

Strange, though. I didn't have to do this before.

Just discovered something else too: If you have that "try 24-bit unpacked" option unchecked and set the Delta's buffer too high, it causes the static.

If it's set lower, it goes away.
