If you need the drivers OK'd by P2 for the Delta 1010 then go the to download page on this site and get them there.

The drivers on this site are the ones we installed. Ive been doing some reading around on the M-Audio issues & it is across the board and range of products. It seems it might not like duo core processor or advanced features in bios switched on by default.

I have some old delta discs in the rack room , I'll find them and see what driver version they have, if its older than the current one then we can all have a copy.

Hi all,

As I wrote on my post March 18th you need to make sure you turn off EIST.

I suggest you double check your BIOS when you can re disabling CPU EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) as if this is enabled you will get loads of issues

If you leave this turned on with an Intel setup you WILL get crackling noise!

How do I diagnose the cause of pops and clicks? 


THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE GUYS AT ECHO DIGITAL AUDIO

If you are experiencing pops and clicks in your audio, there are a number of things that you can try:

1. Install DPC latency checker. If you are experiencing, pops, clicks, and dropouts, this is the first step to take. Download this free utility and read the documentation carefully. After you run the utility, you may need to disable wireless, webcams, network cards, etc.

2. In Windows, go to System properties>Advanced>Performance and set to "Adjust to Best Performance."

3. If running FireWire from a laptop, you may need to purchase a third-party FireWire adapter. Some built-in FireWire chips do not perform well. If you are running more than one AudioFire, you may need to purchase an additional FireWire adapter.

4. Run the ASIO FireWire Analyzer (if you have an AudioFire product). It comes with every driver. Make sure you download the Readme as well as this contains the documentation for this utility.

5. Your buffer size may be too small or too high. Recommendations:

44.1K or 48K sample rate: buffer 128 <-> 256

88.2K or 96K sample rate: buffer 256 <-> 480

176.4K or 192K sample rate: buffer 512 <-> 960

6. Make sure your software and OS have the latest updates. Check for BIOS updates as well.

7. Trim your system down to the bare essentials. Initially, work with only one device. Do not add additional devices until your first device is running smoothly. Do not run any plugins. Add plugins only after everything else is running correctly.
