12.4 Known Problems
In case the used computer has no sufficient CPU-power and/or sufficient PCI-bus transfer
rates, then drop outs, crackling and noise will appear. We also recommend to deactivate all
PlugIns to verify that these are not the reason for such effects.
Another common source of trouble is incorrect synchronization. ASIO does not support
asynchronous operation, which means that the input and output signals must not only have the
same sample frequency, but they must also be in sync. All devices connected to the
DIGI9636
must be properly configured for Full Duplex operation. As long as SyncCheck
(in the Settings dialog) only displays 'Lock' instead of 'Sync', the devices have not been set up
properly!
13. Compatibility
13.1 Software
The Hammerfall series is compatible to all major ASIO applications, like Cubase VST, emagic
Logic, Opcode Studio Vision PRO, Prosoniq SonicWORX, TC SPARK, Peak from Bias, Motu
Digital Performer and Super Collider.
13.2 Hardware
No problems known.
13.3 General PCI related problems
The following symptoms are typical for PCI related problems:
•
The control panel of the Sound Manager is crossed red
•
When booting the control panels are displayed too big, or spread across the whole screen
•
Software or OS crash as soon as the card is used
These problems were reported with older computers (prior to G3). They can be solved in most
cases by simply using a different slot, or by exchanging slots with other PCI cards (like SCSI
controllers or graphics cards).
