I am having a problem with the S/PDIF out running into my soundblaster audigy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Often it quits in the middle of playing something. The XL-7 is not locking up, as I can still hear it through headphones. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if anyone has a clue as to whether it's the XL-7 or the Audigy. I'm running 1.31 on the XL-7 and the newest audigy drivers, (from August I think). Thanx

I think this issue has to do with the sample rate of the Audigy. Most
Sound blaster cards run at 48kHz if I remember correctly, and the XL-7
SPDIF outputs a 44.1kHz signal. Not sure what your options are to change
this with the audigy, but I'm not sure you can even.

The Soundblaster outputs at 48hz but i'm sure it accepts 44.1 to 48hz i'm not sure about the control panel anymore but can't you lock the sample rate to external?

All recent SoundBlaster cards run at 48kHz. They will lock to incoming 44.1 however, and sample rate convert it in hardware (a very good quality conversion, too) to 48kHz. S/PDIF is a tough beast for to tame for FCC reasons. It's always a tradeoff between having an extremely crisp signal and radiating too much radio interference. Add to the mix that PCs are not the most electrically quiet devices, and you can get S/PDIF dropout, pops, clicks, etc. Try all the standard things: high-quality cables, moving cables around, trying bad quality cables just for kicks (hey, you never know)... -Aaron PS. I have my SBLive connected to my Kenwood Dolby Digital amp and when I turn on my GAS stove, it stops working. Took a few times to figure out that the spark ignition unit in the stove interferes with the S/PDIF in the other room... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
