@ivanlaszik
BiCho is talking about a different problem (which was already reported, btw).

OK,sorry

Some new issues I have with 3538L:
Since I installed 3538L (was using 3538h before),I experience a very bad bug when using ASIO4ALL at 48kHz.
Works fine at 96kHz,but as long I set it to 48kHz (in any app),the whole response of the OS becomes laggy and the mouse pointer stutters badly when moved.
Everything was fine with 3538h.Weird.
Has anybody tested 3538L with ASIO4ALL? (use v2.6, v2.7 performs worse with 10kX cards)

Also,because of the soundcard controls (SB0240) being grayed out in the Windows properties (volume tab) a certain application stopped working for me.Worked OK with 3538h.
(with 3538H it finds 5 soundcards [OK],with 3538L it finds nothing)

In kX Automation, this list of Keys/Notes has "H" instead of "B".

Max M. · Nov 2, 2006, 03:58 PM

but it is H (i think - in european notation at least) not B
(it's interesting i've never thought where that strange notation came from)

ah, checked at Wikipedia - yep, it's called 'German' (well, in Russia we use this one too)

Interesting, I did not know that

or at least add plugins to existing sub-menus in "Add Fx" Menu.

I also would like to see this feature.

One possibility would be to do it like it is done with addons. With addons we can specify (somewhat) where the menu item should appear (the kX menu stages), but (even better) it is possible to create submenu's (and nested submenus). I would suggest doing it in a similar way with plugins (except of course, the menu stages would be plugin related instead of addon related).

kX 3538L - more weird bugs:

After using kX 3538 (H,J and L) for some time,I experienced 3 weird bugs (WinXP SP2),the third one being the most serious:

1. If you set the Sound Playback,Sound recording,Voice Playback and Voice Recording devices to 'kX Wave HQ (SB0240 10k2)' in the Windows Sound Properties and hit 'Apply',The Voice Playback/Recording' settings change to Wave 0/1 and Wave 8/9 after applying.Then,when you select again 'Wave HQ' for both and hit 'apply' again,all 4 boxes are set to Wave HQ.

2. If you set the default sound playback to 0/1,the Device controls and speaker settings buttons in the Volume Tab of the Windows sound properties are OK,but if you set Wave HQ as a default playback device,all settings become disabled (grayed out).This happens only with 3538L,didn't happen with any of the previous versions.

3. And now for the more serious bug: This happens when I set Wave HQ as the default device.When running an app that's using DirectSound output (not Winamp or any other A/V player,but an app that uses DirectSound,like an emulator or game for example),after a while running the app without problems,the sound suddenly stops working/mutes and there's no sound in any DirectSound app.Here comes the weird part: I just opened the Windows sound properties and noticed the Default audio device automagically changed from Wave HQ to Wave 0/1 !?!The funny thing is the default device gets restored to the original (WaveHQ) settings after a system restart.

* OK,setting the device again to WaveHQ in the sound properties restores the sound without rebooting,but this bugger gets annoying after you experience it several times.

I started a thread regarding the KX Mixer memory usage (or the seemingly excessive usage).
KX V3538L and KX Mixer memory usage

Maddogg6 · Dec 4, 2006, 11:35 AM

After some extensive recording - I have determined that KX ASIO in 3538L to be very problematic, particularly when adding VST's (effects and soft synths)
In a sonar project after adding any VST (effect or soft synth) I need to restart sonar to get ASIO to work again - and its not CPU usage either - its starts back up @ <10% CPU usage - with latency set to from 8ms to 21 ms - makes no difference.
I also see the sound stopping from simply making an edit/split as well, but is less frequent.

The slight ASIO performance gain has the cost of un-reliable ASIO performance. - I am gonna go back to 3538J next time I attempt any real recording. As it was much more reliable for long period usage.

This is a bug that i've seen from earlier versions and never fixed (currently present on 3538l too).

On a Creative Audigy 4 if you don't launch the Kmixer.exe, all output are automatically "equalized" even with equalizer disabled in kmixer.

In the same manner, listening for example with a winamp (with equalizer enabled) the sound is equlized twice (winamp + ???) resulting in strange hiperequalized distorted sound.

Launching the kmixer the problem is not present.
Why is that?

Max M. · Dec 9, 2006, 05:02 PM

this is not a bug at all. launching kxmixer is required to properly initialize the driver and sound card. Without starting kxmixer the card is just fed with a random settings (well, not actually random but a sort of).

Oh, i see.
Thanks
