Topic: Transfers to WAV file faster than recording.

[RRobar]

The asus is the same card as the Zoltrix Pro 6. I had the same issue with it and never got it to work properly. The bigest issue is that that card did not lock onto a external word clock. SO rather than lock on the DAT it would use it's own or the pc. So there seemed to be some speed issues. I never got the card to work right and went another route. I know folks have gotten the Zoltrix to work stable, but I never could.

The Asus site says The A7N8X uses an onboard Realtek® ALC650 audio CODEC

A different chip - don't think it does bit accurate s/pdif transfers but it doesn't sound like that's your problem anyways.  If it was actually sampling at 48k and you were only feeding it at 44.1, I think you'd have lots of zeros in there.  If it sounds fast, my guess it that it's actually 44.1k file with a 48k wave header.

Open it up in something like Cool Edit Pro that shows you the sampling rate.  If it says 48k, change the rate to 44.1
Note - don't resample it, just change the sampling rate (it should be an instantaneous change - no processing required).  If your computer starts working away, stop it...you want the other kind of change.

Thanks David, the audio I have and motherboard is the A7N8X deluxe.  Its a nvidia Soundstorm dolby 5.1 chip.

Thank you all for helping out a newbie with this uncharted territory.  Looks like I'm gonna purchase an Edioral ua-1d instead.  Time to check the yard sale!

Now you are probably aware that the UA-1D is NOT bit perfect this may be a non issue for you. But just so you are aware. The UA-1D is a really nice lttle piece of gear. I borrowed Brian Costigan's for my Phish ALpine>Creek run. Came in very handy and was a snap to use. I am considereing getting one for travel just so i can make car copies with the laptop if need be.

Hmmmm.  What transfer method is bit perfect?  Any suggestions besides the UA-1D?
