UAD-1 (PCI version) has some issues with AMD Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2/Opteron) and NVIDIA nForce4 / nForce3 based chipsets:

Maybe this is the source of your problems?

 

[manolito]

DEMM!, so what every one that have dual core cpu and nf3 chip set cant use uad?? is there any way to fix it [-o< ? or i just have to sale the card

 

[Akis]

I have the nForce3 chipset, X2 CPU and 4 UAD's, but I use them in a Magma chassis (you can find a cheap one on ebay. Another solution would be to try the intfltr utility (not sure about the exact name) by Microsoft and see if it works for you. Do a search in the forum and you should find a few topics about it.

 

[manolito]

well, i did a search and found nothing halpful, halp would be nice

btw, i dont have $$$ for magma case, so is there any more thing i need to know about this problem ????

HALP PLZ

 

[manolito]

ok, i turn on the AMD 8131 (and i'm useing PCI slots) and this minimize the click&pops abit, but i'm still haveing clicks&pops.

btw akis, what is that untlity name ?? i cant find it.

Thnaks

 

[manolito]

[manolito]

ahh Akis, the 2nd link dosnt work..

DEMM!, so what every one that have dual core cpu and nf3 chip set cant use uad?? is there any way to fix it [-o< ? or i just have to sale the card

I have a AMD Quad Core system with no problems at all. My system below.
Just so you know.....

 

[manolito]

THANKS Akis, i read it ALL, so what did i got from all this reading:

*better proformece on my cpu from the MS hotfix and AMD optimaizer
*minimum clicks and pops (from HARD ones that cuse pitch on the sound)

but i'm still having click and pops every 5 sec's (not much but still there)

maybe can somone that have AMD 2X and RME (hdsp) can tell me his slots order?? (this would probbly save some time for other ppl that having problems with the slots )

here is mine for now:
----------------------
-AGP redon9200
-
-
- UAD
-
- RME HDSP/9632
----------------------

 

[manolito]

i also have to add that i chengeed the MIN_GNT from 64 to 128 and this make some clicks go away, but not all the clicks

GUYS come on, i'm going nuts here.

Halp would be nice...

Thanks

i see, no one wants to halp, 160views on this topic and no one has somthing to say??

More like there is no magic bullet for your MB choice. As clearly stated on the UA website (UAD-1 technical issues) your MB is not a good candidate for the UAD-1. You can either keep trying to put a square peg in a round hole and go crazy or:

1) Get a Magma expansion chassis
2) Try the UAD-1e instead (PCIe) if your MB has PCIe slots
3) Dump that MB (they are a dime a dozen) and get a UAD-1 compatible one. I have an ASUS P5B-E MB. One of the best MB's you can get for a DAW these days. I have (4) UAD-1 cards with a e6300 Core 2 Duo and no problems whatsoever. Sonic nirvana! :wink:
4) Sell the UAD-1 card and just go native and be done with it!


Those are your choices.

What Billy said... There is a bunch of info, at your disposal, here.
Have you tried disabling Hyperthreading or emailing UA Tech support?

 

[manolito]

ok, now you start talking , so, magma case is abit expenssive for me @ moment so ill go for new MB.

if ill buy a new MB the card will work good ? i mean without the demm clicks and pops ?

if so, what is the cheepest MB i can buy to make it work ?

Thanks!

That is the 64 dollar question! It really depends on your current system specs (if you are going to simply do a MB swap) and what your needs are.
You may want to start a new thread asking for advice on a new UAD-1 compatible MB and list your criteria (budget, number of expansion slots, AGP or PCIe video, CPU, etc....).

After doing some research and shopping around I built a new DAW recently, E6300 Core 2 Duo/ASUS P5B-E and (4) UAD-1 cards all in the same box! Now a have a blazingly fast DAW and all the DSP I will ever need and it all works perfectly. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because this is the kind of DAW power I could only dream about a few years ago.

 

[manolito]

got ya.

Thanks for your time/halp guys!
