Greetings all,

Well this info is someting I found over in a thread at the Nuendo board, not entirely related to CW persay but has to do with system performance and that is some every one here has been thru with a CW device lol..

Anyays, it appears that even when you set your windows audio scheme to "none" you still have windows controling your audio which causes possible little pops and crackles when you change windows "an issue I get slightly" so I had to check it out my self. From what I read it seems there is a small clock jump from 32k-64k when opening or changing windows.

What the thread suggested was to go into "msconfig" and browse the services menu where you will find you have Windows Audio running, all this basically does is handle sound mapping, I turned it off and everything was working well and I didnt get much issue of noticable sound oddities, there is one draw back to turning this service off, anything not directly linked to Scope drivers will not function when this is turned off, EG: winamp, windows media and possibly wave editiors unless youc an directly preference your scope drivers.

Nothing too major, just something interesting I stumbled upon..

Cheers!

You need this service for your sequencer to see the MIDI drivers.
