M-Audio Audiophile USB Update

Post by AmazingRuss » Mon Sep 19, 2005 7:44 pm

I'm just putting this in for folks that had similar problems.

I had been experiencing variable latency problems with my Audiophile USB on my HP zd7000 laptop running Windows XP. I finally purcased an SBLive USB, and found that it had the same problem. However, the built in audio interface, in addition to sounding like crap, did not have the latency variation.

I installed the SB live on my old Imac G3 running OSX 10.2, and experienced no variable latency problems. (I hadnt tried the Audiophile on the mac because there was no OSX driver for it)

OSX drivers for the Audophile finally came out, and I am pleased to report that the Audiophile functions flawlessly on my mac.

I speculate that either the USB hardware in my laptop or Windows itself is responsible for the variable latency with the USB interfaces.

Hopefully this will help people with similar problems.
