Delta 44 only working in 24khz

[zyogu]

I've recently bought a new computer with windows 7 on it, i've installed my sound card, m-audio delta 44 and it crackles and pops unless it's set to 24khz (cd quality), i need to use this computer for music production so it generally HAS to be at 44.1khz+.

If anyone could shed any light on how to stop this crackling above 24khz it'd be brilliant, i read somewhere that windows 7 converts everything to 48khz or something? which would be stupid, i've tried disabling & uninstalling every other audio device, increasing latency, re-installing, disabled onboard sound in bios etc. i just can't get it to work. Which is pretty annoying considering that it's supposed to be compatible

You have multiple sound devices?
You need to go into sound in the control panel and set the default device for both recording and playback, and disable any others there as well.
You only want windows using one of them.
Also disable hdmi sound on your graphics card if it supports it, as that's another audio device in the mix as well.

I have a GeForce 315, it has hdmi out but on the control panel there is no audio section at all to disable it, how would i do that? also my delta 44 is coming up as 3 playback devices and 4 recording devices, i think this may have something to do with it as on xp it was just one device with multiple inputs and outputs. On windows 7 it is 'line 1/2, line 3/4 & multichannel' playbacks and 'line 1/2, line 3/4, Monitor & multichannel' recording devices. all from delta 44.

Click on the loudspeaker symbol in the notification area, select playback devices,
A right click on any device will allow you to enable or disable that device
Hdmi is also shown here,
Try disabling all but one and see what happens, you might have to try a few times to get it right. you might also have to restart to see the change.
Right click any device and select show disabled devices so that you can always see all devices
I hope this helps you
