(although, the instructions dont necessarily have to be on the soundcard. That is how many of the integrated soundcards work. Sometimes a piece of hardware simply has instructions that are handed to an external processor that 'manages' or 'supervises' those instructions. The work above would obviously cause usage percentage to go up. then put all chunks back together as the final step. Instead, it can seperate the data into chunks and manage each chunk. The processor doesnt have to use one stream of data and rely completely on the clock cycle rate of the processor. Of course the usage percentage is going to go up. if your buffer size is too big or too small, your processor might be being forced to work extra hard to swallow the junks of data (or transmit data from the buffer to destination).Įither one could be used with a higher priority to keep the latency down. Meaning the processor is used for directing traffic when, normally?, a seperate processor would handle the load.īut it is also true of buffer sizes. The input and output would be controlled by the system bus (northbridge/southbridge)īut i have read in the past that AMD doesnt use one of the system bus processors.
The firepod has its own internal processor?īecause if it does, then the CPU shouldnt really be needed at all. Using s/pdif might trim the audio quality when it is encoded to a surround sound format (not to be confused with PCM stereo) Thanks for reading and i really appreciate any help. Would this work? I really want to use the Firepod in some way because of the phantom power inputs rather than buy a new recording interface (spent enough money on this new build already).

If this is not a possibility can somehow connect the s/pdif input on the Sound card (HTOMEGA) to the S/pdif output on the Firepod and just use the HTOMEGA drivers as the input and output.
Sonar 8 problems driver#
Can i select the HTOMEGA as the output and the Firepod as input using ASIO driver mode. In the driver menu under audio options i can select one device and the rest are greyed out. I was not holding my breath that this would work just I just thought i would try it. I have updated drivers for everything and original thought it might be caused by the bit rate set at different values for each device but this was not the case. 9-10% on the Firepod seams rather high given my system specs.
CPU load during playback with the Fire-pod is around 9-10% while through the HT-Omega is 0-1% so naturally i would want to use this. I recorded 4 tracks using a total of 6 VST plugin effects and no MIDI (just record guitar parts, bass and Drum VST. So it should be fast but i notice more CPU usage when running the Firepod as the recording and playback device in the driver options. My computer has AMD 圆 and 8 gigs ddr3 ram. I am running win 7 64bit and Sonar with a Firepod and an HT-Omega Claro Plus.
