DAL CardD in XP

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi,

I wanted bit-perfect transfers and picked this card up cheap, but I'm
having trouble getting it working.

First machine, win98, I had constant gaps in sound, whatever settings I
used.

Now it's in an XP machine, the sound is crackly, but also double-speed!

Has anyone got any suggestions ?

Next I was going to put it in an old P200, intel throughout, as the
other machines are AMD. I was really hoping for a bit more power to
edit with though <

Cheers,
Alex

CardD, not Card Deluxe?

The one that fits in ISA slots?

Are there even XP or Win2k drivers for it?

This is an old chestnut. Any chance its been roasted?

Did I miss your answer. Is it an ISA card? Or a PCI card? That will make
a big difference in answering the question.

I have had DAL CardD, their Digital Only card, and now a CardDeluxe. The
sound and performance of all have been excellent. However, I am currently
having a problem installing the card in an AMD system. Others have not had
problems. The CardDeluxe would be the second audio card. I have yet to try
uninstalling the motherboard audio, then installing the CardDeluxe, which
sometimes makes a difference.

Glad to hear you've solved it. I used one of those digital only cards for
several years. Worked and sounded great.
