Creeping Latency problem S3.1 Producer
hi all,
first off i'd like to say that this forum rocks!!! it's great to see such a quality group of individuals helping each other wrap their heads around this awesome product. with that said...
i'm experiencing an interesting phenomena in sonar 3. lets say i insert a dxi say triangle ii my initial latency while playing the instrument is 2.9ms with the wdm drivers enabled (i've also tried the aiso drivers with identical results). the dxi responds wonderfully and all is well...then within a few moments, the latency will creep up to +10 or so ms. this is with no additional load placed on the system (i.e. tracks created, audio imported, etc.). if i leave the room and come back in say 15 or so minutes, the latency will have creped up even more to say +30ms. this behavior is driving me mad!!! i have a relatively sturdy system:
p4 2.0a ghz with 768 meg ddr ram
msi 845ultra mb
maudio audiophile 2496 w latest .36 drivers (also tried .27 to no avail)
the whole thing has me baffled. i even went back and installed my old sb platinum with the kx drivers and experienced the same effect. the funny thing (or not so funny) is that this only happens in sonar. i own reason and flstudio and the latencies stay rock solid through out various heavy loads and usages. this basically makes sonar unusable to me since i mainly purchased it for is rewire and dxi/vsti capabilities.
if anyone has any light that they can shine down this long dark hallway i'd be forever grateful!!!
thanks in advance!
