With the 3539 driver under Vista, the 10 band EQ is totally useless. Nothing in the EQ will affect the sound.

It is not only that I hear taht sound.. but this is a big one... and I hear nothing else playing... the card is complitly crash out... every time I reboot, it work for some time and crash out againt... the more fonction I use the more quickly it's append.

Acoustic loud clap only during return from a suspend (S3) or hibernate mode. At usual power on, a clap is not present.

my system is vista with kx3539,i can install the driver,after listening music just about 10 minute,the system can't make sound.But the system seems all right,and the music player playing the music,but the soundcard can't makes sound.

so the question is, how can i download 3539 without using insecure abobe flash plugins together with english download descriptions ? what is if some nice guy @ ifloder.ru infects your uploaded .exe with a malicious program ? then he has the control over some 1000 pcs.

please upload it to a filehoster with the possibilty to read the download descriptions in english and post a md5 checksum for the file here in the forum. i think as a programmer u know what im talking about.

this is a paranoia.

Why don't you do this yourself? Why should Eugene do this?

1. 3539 bug sb 0240 is wrongly recognised as 0244
2. could fix resume after standby or how can bypass this?
3. this driver is great couse it fixes my randomly freezing in asrock 775 dual vsta board and all of creative based drivers fails

Thank

Max M.

>1. 3539 bug sb 0240 is wrongly recognised as 0244

Not a bug. Your card is SB0244. See kX Project -- FAQ (Frequently asked questions)

I have xp sp2 and i'm having the same problem,sound is just gone after 10 minutes or so...but the system keeps running as usual.
I tried going back to 3538m,result is almost the same,only it takes longer to happen

Vista 32bit - All I get is that digital noise, tried reinitializing the card (unload kxmixer, disable, enable the cardm, run kxmixer)...tried also running kxmixer with "-rv" added...nothing....(what's that "kxctrl"?)

Any ideas? :S

kxctrl (kxctrl.exe) is found in the kX Installed folder... OR, more simply right click on kX tray icon and choose 'kX Console' - is a dos like console screen, where those commands are used (IIRC -rv is one). Enter '?' in kX console - and you'll see the '-rv' will 'reset hardware voices'.

kxctrl.exe allows you to make a batch file (containing 'kxctrl.exe -rv") and put in your start/startup folder - to execute commands at boot up... of course, not all commands make sense to run at boot up... so a re-initialize may not be needed every boot up... but, its possible.

You could also make the batch file and save to your desk top for simple access (if needed often).

edit/ I dont know much about vista, I *assume* batch files and start/startup still exist as they do in Win98,XP,2000... /edit

Change the default device for audio playback in the Windows Control Panel to Master Mixer.

@Eugene,
Some of the posts in the forum seem to indicate that the default device after kX installation on Vista, is kX Wave 8/9 (labeled as Wave Out 8/9 in Vista) instead of kX Wave 0/1 (labeled as Master Mixer in Vista).

SPYRO

Thanks MAddog!

(EDIT) MIDI synths A/B DOES sounds fine....but audio playback doesn't.

Worth to mention, I'm going out to PA from my headphones out. Also worth to mention that I couldn't install the GamePort...3539 or vista couldn't install the drivers somehow, so I finally disabled it in the dev manager.

Ok, I've tried:

1) With rv

2) Changing buffer values

3) Changing PCI lateny to several different values.

4) Disabling GamePort in dev manager.

5) Playing a wav file like crazy, playing a dense MIDI file too...

6) unloading kXmixer - disabling/enabling the driver in dev manager - reloading kXmixer.


Nothing.....my audigy still makes that constant sound, I've read the thread about this but cannot find anything that solves the problem.

Never ever had this problem in winXP in ...four years? ...since very early versions, is only on Vista...and I had the chance to try this in two completely different systems, always having this noise issue.

Everything seems to work like a charm, the kxmixer etc... but, all I get is noise.

Is funny, if I turn up the Reverb under kxmixer FX tab, I get the noise processed by it...with the corresponding reverb tail (very clean, obviously not part of the noise)....same for chorus.

so the issue seems to underlie inbetween the driver, somewhere, not specifically related to PCI bus or IRQ issue...the card works like a charm as I said, no problems aside of that.

...seems like I'm stuck huh?

well - unless you can go back to XP....
I have no clue what you could try next - but I am FAR from an expert...
Seems others in this thread may have the same/similar issue tho...
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

SPYRO

hehe! nah! I'd rather use the inbuilt sound card in my CrossHair instead, until eugene solves this, he always do.

EDIT: I'm using Creative drivers....they are crap :S but they works, no noise as kx 3539, I guess that demonstrates the noise issue (hopefully) is not a big "impossible to solve" bug.

running through my media center pc hooked up to receiver:

i had the same error... (trying to use spdif passthrough via "spdif <-- AC-3 icon) i was about to uninstall the drivers, then tried these settings and everything works flawlessly:

do not click/check " SPDIF <--AC-3 "

i'm using these settings:

AC3 - 1001 : SPDIF 0
SPDIF -> : 48000
SPDIF <-- 1001 : SPDIF C

uncheck 1001 SPDIF

P16v : SPDIF C

DEW

When recording 24/48 with WAVE HQ device, results in sounds at half-speed. Saving file shows size to be the same as 24/96 at correct speed.

I also had a BSOD when trying to get the KX driver to decode ac3 on 3539. Previous versions of the drivers have no such problems when decoding AC3s. The player I'm using is also Media Player Classic with it's internal AC3 transform filter set to 'pipe' the AC3 to SPDIF.

I'm on Win XP MCE SP2 and Audigy 2 ZS.

The 'full' BSOD message is:

*** STOP 0x000000D3 (0xF6151500,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x805398C4)

duntuk,

Not to be rude or anything but...

Do u notice the difference between what u did and what Mata Hari and I tried to do?

You are decoding AC3 through an external AC3 decoder/receiver. What we are trying to do here is to have the KX driver itself decode/playback the AC3 stream ie. no external receiver/decoder involved.

Thanks 4 attempting to help anyway.

Russ

KX Synth volume gets set to 100% whenever a kX Synth MIDI port is opened for playback (i.e. midiOutOpen).

This appears to be fixed in 3540
