Sonic Cell with laptops (especially Acer Aspire 5020)

Post by Keyssion »

Hey people!
I'm trying to use my Sonic Cell as a recording interface for my laptop.
I installed drivers etc. but I seem to have the problem that the sound pops every once in a while recording and it can be very annoying. With my desktop there is no such problem. I've tried out turning the WLAN-antenna off for example. I'm out of ideas. Anyone? :)

You are most likely suffering a latency problem. Try to tweak the audio driver properties on the PC.

No effect :(

It just keeps on popping very randomly.

as far as i know, some windows laptops are not friendly with audio hardware, especially if you run warezed soft, so switch to mac )).... it's only my suggestion....

or try asio4all driver (just google "asio4all" ) or use bigger buffer ( audio latency)....

Give us more details- I will assume you are running Vista.
Secondly, run DPC Latency Checker and let it run. If you see spikes- then you will get pops and clicks.
Also, what latency setting are you running the SC at?
Turning of wireless will normally do the trick (it did on my HP laptop).
What fixed it was moving to Windows 7.
What was a permanent fix was moving to a Mac- booyaa!!!!
