Topic: Transfers acting screwy.....need help!

[mniven]

First off, I'm running WinXP and use Panasonic 3700 > M-Audio Delta Dio 2496 > Soundforge 6.0 for transfers. I've been using the same setup for over a year with no problems.

This week I updated my WinXP with Service Pack 2 and since then anytime I try to transfer I have pops/clicks in the wavs and the wavs also have an underlying digital distortion sound. Service Pack 2 has a bunch of security features such as a firewall, so I disconnected what I could of all that crap and I'm still having the same problems. Finally, I uninstalled Service Pack 2 this morning and tried another transfer and I'm still getting the same problems. So frustrating!

I opened up Windows Task Manager to look at what processes are running, but nothing jumps out at me. I do, however, have a lot of processes that seem to be running and I'm not sure which, if any, I should try and disable.

Anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

did you try  lowering the ASIO/WDM buffer size? I had to do that once to get rid of the clicks and pops. It could of been something sp2 did, and even after uninstalling it, it will leave bits and pieces in your registry that could be causing the problem. Might have to do another clean install

I'm a dumbass. I was convinced the DAT was 48k and it was 44.1k and that's what was causing the problems. It's always the simple things that cause me the most headaches!
