Soundblaster Live 24 External ticking (and Traktor pro)
Hy!
I have the Creative Soundblaster live 24 external audio card.
So my first problem is that the sound starts ticking randomly from time to time. Primarily if 2 programs are running at the same time, e.g. , firefox with youtube playing and winamp or bsplayer etc. This stops when i close one of them or restart the program. This is not a huge problem but just extremely annoying.
The second problem... well more of a question is that could anyone tell me if XP is louder by audio level than Windows 7? I'm using Traktor DJ Pro 1.2.4 (the latest version) and an external mixer. Seems that i have to gain the levels by far more than when i used XP and the same setup. Even the setings are the same in Traktor and i did not miss disableing the master limit etc. Also looks like that with Win7, Traktor uses more audio latency than in XP. It freezes when i load a track to a deck and when it's analyzing the audio file.
I know that Traktor Pro has nothing to do with the sevenforum, but maybe someone has the same problem and can help me out.
Well here are my specs:
Fresh OS install (thought this would help but it didn't)
OS Windos 7 Ultimate 32 bit, build 7600 updated to newest drivers
CPU P4 3GHz (XP setup had P4 2,4GHz with different mobo)
2.5GB of RAM (XP setup had 1GB of RAM)
Creative SB live24! external soundcard updated to newest drivers from homepage v1.01.0099 (full not beta)
Video 6600GT updated to newest drivers from homepage
Power options are set to "High performance"
I think that everybody will agree that going back to XP would not be a solution
EDIT: Should i try following any Win7 tuning tutorial to get it running better? What is this ACPI? Can this be the couse of my troubles? Were can i check if it's installed or not?
