hi Guys

am having problem with QU-16 while recording or streaming any audio from a windows 7 pc
using a safe buffer size 1024

during recording i’m having this static or somekind of distortion appear for about 15sec and then back to normal and the worst part is the distortion is recorded together with the source

os windows 7 ultimate 64bit
DAW used cubase 5.1.1

I had a similar-sounding problem (Win8.1, Sonar Producer). After about 10 minutes of recording directly via USB into Sonar, the sound became progressively distorted with added weird sounds and in the end became useless - and was present on the recording. Somewhat strangely I found changing from the onboard sound card to a Soundblaster PCI card did the trick. It’s not obvious why this should be unless there was some weird contention over memory on the pc’s main board. Worth a try anyway.

Hi Seikan, the card I bought and am happy with is: Sound Blaster Z PCIe (Amazon £60UKP). Good luck! Chris
