Default Clicks and Pops when recording Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 CS3

HI
I am having problems with clicks and pops during recording.

I am using Protools M-Powered 7.4 CS3
M-Audio Delta 1010 with the latest drivers Delta_V32_5.10.00.5065.exe
I have a PC with a AMD dual core 64 X2 5000+ Processor
A gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H Motherboard
2 gigabytes of ram
2 ide disc drives (1 system and one for audio data)
I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 Installed

I have installed the Windows XP Dual Core Hotfix
I have installed the AMD Dual Core Optimizer
I have disabled AMD Cool n' Quiet in the bios
I have disabled my network card
I have installed quicktime
There are no devices connected to SPDIF
I have unticked the RTAS ignore Errors during playback/record (may cause clicks and pops) box
I have tryed various buffer size changes but nothing has made any difference


Protools will play back a session which was done at another studio no problems.
I can record into Soundforge with no problems!!

When I try to record into protools there are clicks and pops and crackles.
If i record silence it seems ok but when i sing or play guitar i have clicks and pops.


This is the first time i have installed protools.
I had an old copy of cubase before which was fine.

I have found these links which is similar to my problem

but they are with 7.3 not 7.4

I'm needing some help

thanks..

You should start with the steps in the Win XP/ Pro Tools 6.x/7.x General Troubleshooting thread and post specific info on your system per the info on that thread if you're unable to resolve the problem.

Hi

Yeah I have already worked my way thru the steps in the Troubleshooting guide.
As I mentioned in my post

I have installed the Windows XP Dual Core Hotfix
I have installed the AMD Dual Core Optimizer
I have disabled AMD Cool n' Quiet in the bios
I have disabled my network card
I have installed quicktime
There are no devices connected to SPDIF
I have unticked the RTAS ignore Errors during playback/record (may cause clicks and pops) box
I have tryed various buffer size changes but nothing has made any difference

Is there anything else that I might try?

I think my next step will be to reinstall Protools 7.3 as I have a vague recollection
of that working ok briefly before i upgraded to 7.4

I'll let you know how i get on.

M...

Yes, if you could post a Sandra report, as indicated in that thread, it would be greatly appreciated.

you have no S/PDIF connected - so your sync-source is set to internal?

Hi M00f

I have pretty much the same setup as you, except I have a Firewire 410 and have experienced the exact same problem.
Go to AMD/ATI site and upgrade your graphics driver to version 8.4

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca.../integrated-xp

After complete of format and reinstalls of Windows, calls to M-Audio techs and every other possible driver upgrade/downgrade etc this worked.

Hope that helps

SP
