Ok so I have the clicks and pops...

[Rocc Howse]

I have just bought a second UAD card for my system. After just doing a fresh install with both cards now in place, cubase loads and I get the clicks and the pops. I disable one of the cards and no clicks and pops.

now i checked in system information under conflicts etc and UAD card is sharing . would changing the irq fix the problem?

any help would be appreciated, such as step by step workaround?

depends on what it's sharing with.... i.e., not what irq, but what device it's sharing with. it should be sharing with something that isn't in use while you use cubase (like an ethernet card), or a device that uses very little bandwidth (like a usb controller). it can share irq's with other uad-1's, that's no issue either (but i'm sure it's not sharing with the other uad-1 unless you have a magma chassis). basically... just make sure it's not sharing an irq with a drive controller, soundcard, or soundcard... and if you use any firewire devices you probably don't want to share with your firewire controller either... nor do you want to share with a usb controller if you use a usb drive or audio interface with cubase. the only way to change the irq is to move it to a different slot... devices on the motherboard are attached to different pci slots (irq's).

once your set it up properly as i decribed above... if you still have the issue try the following:
- make sure windows memory is set to \"programs\" and not \"system cache\"
- make sure hyper-threading is off in the bios
- trying increasing your soundcards buffers (latency)
- try increasing your pci latency in the bios a bit

well it is shareing with a drive controller, but how do i change it??

By putting the card in a different pci slot. Preferably one that doesn´t share. Asus says wich ones arn´t shared in the mobo manual (but they call it used...)

hey so i changed the slots found ones that werent shared cubase started working perfect then it crashed and made this constant siren sound??

also is it ok to share the UAD cards on the same IRQ

If only cubase crash (not the entire system), it's not so bad... you're close. And it's very likely that Cubase crashed for an entirely different reason.

Did you check all those settings I mentioned?

UA says yes. Did you mention what mobo you use, maybe someone has experience with it!

Exact same problem here. One card runs fine with any latency setting, two cards doesn't...

Check your PSU folks.

The same thing happened to me. it Turned out to be the PSU. I changed it and everything was fine after that.

PSU is a brand new 500W Antec Phantom (changed it because I thought that was the problem...)

I have just changed to a Gigabit NForce3 based motherboard. Problem gone.

I am going to turn my A8V in to the retailer, to se if there is anything wrong with it, but my guess is that A8V and two UAD:s simply doesn't work well...
