Audio 2 is driving me crazy!

Hi. At first, sorry for my language, that's not my native language. I wasn't sure, where should i place this thread. sorry.


Okay. Yesterday, i bought Kontrol F1 and Audio 2.

On EVERY pc i tried, i have the same problems: "Crackle" sound, and dropouts. i tried everything: every available drivers i've found, changing latency, changing USB Buffer size, ASIO4ALL drivers, Disable WIFI nad every unnesessery software. EVERYTHIING. i even go back to the shop where i bought AUDIO 2. They connect to my lpatop other AUDIO 2 device, but that doesn't solve problem.

My PC's: Dell Latitude (C2D 1.83 Ghz, 2 gb ram, Win XP SP3 (i download SP3 today)

Thinkpad t42 (Pentium m1.7 ghz, 768 mb ram, WIN XP)

Asus (i don't know the model) Sempron 2.23 Ghz, 4 GB ram, WIn 7.


Important thing is, that the Thinkpad runs Audio 2 and TP2.5 quite well. there were only few "sound cracks".

But on the others computers, dropouts and audio distortion were killing me.


I write to NI, i'm waiting for respond.

Ps. I'm really sorry for my english, i know it's terrible. Probably, when you're reading it, you have lot of fun lol.

Ps 2. it's so unfair, i live in Poland and we don't have any Offical NI helpline. i can count only on you, guys. and girls.

 

Audio 2 dropouts & crackling sound - problem solved!

My PC - Dell Latitude D620 (C2D 1.83 Ghz, 2 GB Ram, WIN XP SP 3)


The problem was WI-FI. I disabled it (there is switch on the left side of ma laptop) and EVERYTHING works fine. na "crackle" sound, no audiodropouts, even when latency is low.


only way to make it work is turned off by switch. Turning it off in Windows didn't solved the problem.

 

it was due to DPC latency problems, most of the times disabling WiFi helps

 

In my case I have TWO culprits: WAN and ACPI.

I can easily disable wi-fi with a button on my laptop, but ACPI is a little trickier, I have to do it under Device Manager, which kinda sucks
