Some more information:

I found it in the SONAR manual:

Clock source "Audio": the Clock source of the sound board is used.
Clock source "Internal": the clock source of the computer CPU is used.

The others are external clock sources, of course.

Thanks for all responses

Sonar will change it to internal on its own when audio is selected and visa versa. Theres no need to switch them on your own

If I import an Audio file it switches my Clock to "Audio" which makes my "Now Time" and progress bar freeze when I press play. I have to switch it back to "Internal" so I can see my "Now Time" and progress bar. Surely this is not the way to have to do this. Is there a setting of some sort that can fix this?

I am using EMU 0404 PCI and have no problem hearing/recording but can't get that Clock sorce from screwing up my "Now Time"

Any ideas????

Thanks

Hi Marcus,

"If I import an Audio file it switches my Clock to "Audio" ..." - That is the normal behavior.
What I don't think is normal is that you have to switch to Internal.

Just an idea:
1. Run the Wave Profile.
2. Check in General tab of Options-Audio what you have set as the "Playback Timing Master" and what can you choose there. How many soundcards have you got? Is the motherboard's built in soundcard disabled in BIOS?

Regards,
Luis

I'm ASIO drivers and E-MU ASIO 1/2 is the "Playback Timing Master"
In WDM it's the E-DSP Wave. In WDM mode it records/plays back and the "Now Time" and progress bar work fine.

In ASIO mode I can record/Play back but "Now Time" and Progress bar stop after about 1 beat.

Just 0404 pci is installed.

Should not the E-DSP wave show up in the Properties of the Sound system as a Recording device? It doesn't show up in mine however I am able to record audio through my S/PDIF using my Boss GT-8 guitar processor.

I"m using Vista by the way!

Thanks for your quick response.

I still have the same problem Hanni Hanni did. Everytime I import audio it changes back to "Audio" clock which I understand it should anyway.BUT when it does the marker and now time freeze but still able to record and hear everything. I can switch it back to "internal" every time I go to record but that is not how it should be done.

I have the 1.82 drivers for my 0404Pci card. I recall before when I was having conflicting driver issues in which I had a previously installed Audigy 2 that it's driver output was showing up in the "Record Latency Adjustment" area as the Device and I had no problem at that time with the freezing. Of course now that the drivers have been cleaned out and I did a "Virgin" install the Audigy drivers are gone and the freezing is back. E-MU ASIO (4in-1out) is the device now which I'm sure should be correct.

I have Reaper 2 and all works great in that program so it must be something to do with the way my sound card is set up in Sonar. Is ther a way to "reset" the defaults in the Audio preferences?

Any help would be greatfull.

Thanks,

I have the 1.82 drivers for my 0404Pci card.

There are Beta version 2 drivers available (indirectly) via E-Mu's website. Follow the instructions carefully and don't panic if any existing session files appear not to work - they will once they are saved afresh in the v2 PatchMix. The usual Beta dis-claimers apply, but I have found them to be better than 1.82, except that they cause infrequent, sporadic clicks. I have learned to live with this, as the clicks are only audible on playback - they are not embedded in any incoming audio.

E-Mu's website says that the Beta drivers will be replaced by a full release about now, but E-Mu's delivery promises are often optimistic.

Update - I have just seen that E-MU has posted a revised Beta - I haven't yet tried this yet, so my comments relate to the withdrawn Beta, of course.

Hi Chris, I have tried to install the older Beta 2's and the new ones that came out on the 11th countless times. All I kept getting was BSOD as the drivers are being installed Yet the 1.82's install fine. I've tried "virgin install" and everything I could think of but still BSOD. There isn't even a code or line break on anything on the screen...just blue! I'm fed up with spending hours to get it to work with the new "beta" drivers.

I honestly feel it's in my settings that need tweeking. If anyone has the 0404pci running in Sonar 6.2.1 please send me your settings in the Audio Options tabs.

That would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Forgive the question, but are you sure that you are seeing a BSOD? I ask because I have never seen a "blank" BSOD as you describe. Have you tried alt-tab when you get the blue screen during the attempted driver install? This will help you to see whether there is a hidden driver install "health warning". E-Mu's instructions used to warn about this possibility.

FWIW, I installed the revised Betas without any issues today. At first blush, they seem fine, although my unwanted clicks are still there.

Are you trying to use WDM or ASIO? Both seem to work for me, but others seem to have more success with one than the other.

Here are my Sonar audio settings for comparison -

settings 1 settings 2

Ok...tried the reinstall thing again...yup...BSOD with no message. No keyboard stroke would do anything. Hard drive activity was zero for 15 minutes. After rebooting I looked at the PatchMix About screen and noticed that Driver version 6.xxxx was there. The PatchMix error message said it didn't find enough E-MU hardware. The speaker Properties tab is missing the Levels tab. I installed the PatchMix of the Sept 11 release and rebooted. Same PatchMix error and same missing tab Driver version reverted back to 5.xxxx.

E-MU knowledge base has nothing on BSOD that Icould find.

Thank god for Restore points....rolling back to 1.82 (again).

Thanks for sending your Sonar settings...tried them and still no change. I noticed you don't have Vista (check box greyed out in screen shot) I'm using ASIO drivers.

I've sent a Support request to E-MU. These latest drivers had a number to call if you had problems so I'm assuming they are supported. And of course it's not a toll free number.

I'm begining to really like Reaper....sorry!

Thanks for all your effort Chris....very much appreciated.
