Emu 0404, 1212 or 1616 owners and all computer nerds plz hlp

I have a problem reinstalling my PCI 1212m sound card, I made a thread on computerforum that explains the whole issue.
If you had a similar problem or just know everything about computers plz help.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but one way to test if it is hardware or your funky system is to try to install the card in another computer...

I think it is possible that you killed your card, but I think it is unlikely. I would attempt to go back to zero state as much as possible. Roll the bios back, roll everything back to the way it was when it worked.

Could have fried your pci buss... any other pci devices installed... and still working?

I believe I had the same issue when I was reformatting my system:

*Uninstall all drivers and programs required to run the sound card
*Turn off computer
*Remove sound card from PCI slots
*Start computer without the hardware
*Turn off computer
*Insert 1212M into desired PCI slots
*Start computer again

This should refresh the systems recognition of the hardware, it seemed to help for my system, however, I am not overclocking.

im not that advanced of a pc user to bother with overlocking. but ive had issues with my emu 0404 on both music pcs that ive tired it in. its pretty frustrating as i just built a new daw and i was looking fwd to not having the same sound card issues. im honestly not sure why its buggy for me. sorry, guess im not much help in this instance

I have two 1616's one m, one non m, and installed both flawlessly and have had not troubles with either. One on my pc and one on the lappy. I run win xp 32 on both machines. Y'all run win xp 32?

I didn't have a chance yet but that's on my to do-list

I have a card I can try but since Windows detects the sound card as new hardware I assumed the bus was safe.

I believe I had the same issue when I was reformatting my system:

*Uninstall all drivers and programs required to run the sound card
*Turn off computer
*Remove sound card from PCI slots
*Start computer without the hardware
*Turn off computer

I'll try that when I'm back home.

Thanks so far guys!

I wish I told myself this a couple of days ago
What's going wrong exactly with your 0404 ?

Yep running xp32 as well.

Lol, that forum looks jokes.

zomg! one of my favorite motherboards of all time!

Mind you, I guess we're the same with synths....

[nowaysj]

totally

Go external. problem solved

[nowaysj]

^ not good advice.

Based on what you have already done (according to your thread on the other forum).... Your next logical step is this;

Test the PCI card in another machine entirely (like someone else's PC that is known working).

If the problem repro's on a new machine, you got a fried card. If the problem is fixed on a new machine, you know the problem is isolated to the computer. You need to confirm this before doing anything else.

on my new pc i loose audio output if i switch sessions. on my old pc it wouldnt play audio if my pc didnt shutdown properly either due to a hangup or power failure. then it would take multiple restarts to get it playing audio properly. the odd ting was that it look like it was working properly, in that the output levels moved as they should. but i still had no actualy audio coming out of the card and im sure my cables are fine. luckily that issue seems fixed on my new pc, but its still troubling that doesnt function perfectly. otherwise ive been happy with it. though i often forget about its onboard fx.

Sterling, you sure you got the patch mix set up right? I've been using that f'er for over a year, and it still does my head in sometimes.
