    Red face Crackling noise when recording .

    Hi there ,
    i have a SB-Live value ,Duron 700 , Acer AK33 Mobo w/latest
    bios and 4.28v Via drivers, 256MB ram.

    All my games , CD,s , Mp3 are working fine .

    However when i tried to record from the line in (from a tape or 33rpm ,and
    the source is flawless)
    there is a fine intermitent crackling noise induce in the finished file
    (playback)
    No mather how i tried to adjust the record level it's still there . And it's
    the same result regardless of the software used .

    I this a Via related problem or a defective card ????????

    Thanks for any advice , Stephane Gingras

    This is a known VIA/SBLive bug. Disable UDMA in BIOS. Works for me with my VIA/SBLive rig. Can't play back as many audio parts, but 8 tracks on a K6-2 500 ain't bad.

    Exclamation

    Well thanks Jeff (F.A.B. father :-)), but it didn't work .
    I disabled both master and slave UDMA .

    The crackling was loud yesterday until i installed the 428v driver from VIA .
    Now it's softer/high frequency (like a 33.3rpm record)

    I just installed the latest Via 430 a few minutes ago with no improvement .
    Any suggestion ??
    Is there some good/cheap soundcards that works flawlessly with a Via mainboard ?? ( For recording ).

    Thanks again , Stephane

    I've got a Vibra 128 and I get a garbled effect when running intro FMV's in games...

    I also get an occasional crackling when opening the start menu while running winamp.

    Funny thing is though, I ran the promo intro moving off the Descent3 CD and the sound was fine, I install directX, and then it stuffs up again?

    Since i was tired of fooling around to get rid of the crackling noise . And since i was not very optimistic about the various solutions to the freakin Via/Live curse .
    I bought a Sound Blaster 128 as a second sound card device for recording . (And use the Live for everythig else.)

    No more crackling , my recording is clean .

    Until Via/Creative finaly resolve this problem i will keep the 128 in my system.

    Bye , Stephane
