Re: USB Interfaces: Question on RCA Out vs. Digital Out

Hi there. Yes, I have tried tweaking the playback buffer, both in foobar and in the Edirol control panel. As you can see in the image attached, the Edirol control panel has the buffer at one notch before max. I have also tried it at max and it even seemed a little worse. The image also shows the settings, which are left at default and are the recommended settings for ASIO.

The Edirol is set to advanced mode (24-bit and using ASIO; non-advanced mode is 16-bit and does not use ASIO) and at 48kHz. I tried it up to 96kHz and while it sometimes sounded a little better (quality wise) there were more pops/clicks at that sample rate.

The foobar buffer I tried everything from around 500ms all the way to around 4000ms. Currently it is at 1500ms and there are still clicks/pops but only come about every 20-25 second. I would like to eliminate them completely however. I have not tried the buffer as high as 5s yet.

Cheers,
X
