getting metal tank sounding distortion. if reboot seem to go away sometimes after the reboot. i remember some time ago trying out older version of the driver just to make sure that i had the best one.( new does not always mean best ) i am using win 7 - 64 bit - sp 1 . so i uninstalled 510 5078 driver(so i thought) and reinstalled each card running 6.08 driver.(the one for service pack 1)    
    
 the ABOUT screen on the delta driver  says 6.08.
but in the device manager / sound video game controllers / delta 1010 / driver /  driver version (says) 5.10.0.5078
, which i believe is the older version. correct? why does the device manager say 5.10 5078 when the 6.08 driver is said to be
up and running? is it possible that this mix up is causing slight distortion sometimes unless reboot? thankx, mike
 
 
using asus i-5 , 8 gig , win 7 - 64 bit, sp1 , sonar x2a , 2(delta 1010s)

I had a problem with distortion on my old Delta 1010 (single).  Every once in a while it would make a strange digital distortion sound that with time would show more and more until eventually it was continuous.  I have since replaced it with a MOTU.

So you're using 2 of these. Have you tried getting one working and then add the second one. I don't think you can use ASIO mode with 2 soundcards so you have to use WDM mode. 

have been running 2 of these for years. 16 channels of audio records for well over an hour with out any trouble. all band practices are recorded this way. had some of the newer usb2 devices(line 6 ux8) my i 5 hated to use usb 2 or 3. lots of conflict. but  pci works great. but every once in a while i get a slight (metal tank) sounding distortion. almost reverb like but NOT reverb.
 to answer your question one of these cards works great. two of these cards work great. it's just that every once in a while i have to reboot thing that i am trying to figure out. the only thing i see is tha there is a discrepency in the sound card drivers and how they are worded. as posted above.

Hi - I am trying to assist another forum member, and is having similar problems.

He also has 2 Delta 1010 PCI interfaces.  One has the full breakout box, and the other one is I believe a 1010LT, or something like that.

That thread is: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=2830402&mpage=1#2836882

This is still unresolved, but you might as well join in the fun.

I've been running these two cards for years as well with no problems whatsoever. I'm only now starting to pick up this "metal" like distotion.
 
I'm now trying to use WDM drivers to see if that will make a difference.
 
Have you tried these drivers?
 
Cheers,

Are you using the Word Clock ports to sync the 2 Delta 1010s?

Are you using the Word Clock ports to sync the 2 Delta 1010s? 

I haven't "physically synched the two cards together. All I've done (and I've done it like this for years) was set the timing master in Sonar and it behaved itself with no problems.
 
In the M Audio panel, my "synch source" is set to "internal"

dave, i am using the spdif out of top card and into the bottom card. in the delta options menu i set the top as internal and the bottom as external. now my question is this, does word clock work better in the back? would that stop this metal distortion sounds?
     this morning went like this..... came out to studio, fired it all up. exact same control situation (except ice cold hardware) (last night breakout boxes got pretty warm with hours of use)  this thing works great. i mean great. 16 channels as quite as a whisper in the background.  could this be a heat issue??????

also for years i used one delta 1010 and one delta 1010lt. i recently went to 2 delta 1010's to see if this problem just disapeared. nope. it's the same problem if you are running 2 lt or 2 delta 1010s.      just reporting what i ve found guys.....
