I have contacted support about this issue a while back but it is still not fixed. I'm getting a bit annoyed at not being able to suspend my computer.

Here is some more information since my computer blue screened coming out of standby.

Motherboard Gigabyte EP45 DS3L
Ram 4GB G.Skill DDR2
Audiophile 192 only PCI card in system
Vista Business 32bit

I performed a windbg.exe (windows dump debugger) on my memory.dmp file.
Here is the output.

We don't support sleep/hibernate/suspend mode; often times you will have to restart for the device to work properly when waking; this is really system dependent. However, the system should not blue screen. What driver version are you running? If you move the 192 to different PCI slots does the problem persist?

I am running the latest version drivers from your website 5.10.0.5069. This problem has persisted through 3 different motherboards. Slots do not matter that I have noticed.

hi

i have exactly the same problem, and diagnosed the same crash dump info with windbg

JA - why is sleep/hibernate/suspend mode not supported? these are very basic features widely used. all my other hardware drivers can cope. surely avid is big and professional enough to sort these problems out?

as a workaround, is there anything that can be run to disable/re-enable the driver on demand? i only use my delta 192 card from time to time, but very frequently put my pc into sleep mode.

yes, disable the driver when not working with audio, just rightclick and choose "disable" in "Device Manager"

I just tried an Asus P5QL-E and a Asus P5B-Deluxe. Both motherboards do the same thing. However now I am getting continuous blue screens as soon as the computer boots, with a D1 failure code, WINDBG indicates deltaii.sys as well. For now I will have to use the card in a XP machine since under vista, this card is making me angry.

thanks alexx - i've tried this and it just about works. first attempt to disable the driver crashed Device Manager (!), but does seem to have stopped it. looks like i can't re-enable without rebooting, however. hopefully it'll stop my daily bluescreens, though. thanks again

I am hitting this with the newly released Delta drivers for X64 as well. Every time my machine goes to sleep after audio has been used, it bugchecks.

Has any progress been made? You can contact me at my registered address for full details, and I am willing to help investigate the bug by providing live remote debuggers, full memory dumps, etc.

The comment about not supporting suspend confuses me - this is the default used by Vista and will be used in future versions of Windows as well. Sleep state transitions (S1 - S4) are also required in Microsoft WHQL certification. A product cannot get a Vista logo on the box without it. Not supporting sleep would be against the grain for Windows driver development requirements.

i am extememly disappointed with m-audio over this issue. i'm now also getting the same bluescreen caused by my delta 192 even though i'm not using any sleep modes.

the level of support from m-audio is really poor. they just say they don't support the problem, so tough! i was passed onto managment by a front-line support staff, and my emails were completely ignored.

i strongly recommend to anyone thinking of buying m-audio products to think again

Hello, I just registered to post that I have the same problem with blue screens and "DRIVER STATE POWER FAILURE" on Vista at hibernate. Perhaps somebody at M-Audio will react when more people with that prob show up.

Just a word for people in this thread. Buy a new sound card. M-Audio couldn't care less about this bug.

On the bright side, the Vista 64 version of the drivers work with s3 on mine, ie, they resume. But of course, Windows 7 is going to be out in a few months and of COURSE the damn s3 resume bug still exists in Windows 7 using all the vista 32 and 64 drivers.

I gave up on m-audio long long ago. :mad:

Hi all, glad to find this thread - though disapointed to see that nothing seems to have been done to reolve the issue.

It's taken me some months to work out what the issue was. There may be people who suffer this problem continuously without any hope of resolving it.

As far as I am aware, I did not see any documentation stating that the card did not support Vitsa 'sleep' mode before I purchased it. In my view 'sleep' is a fundamental function of the OS, and not to support it shows a lack of concern for customers 'useability'.

Is anyone at M-Audio able to tell me whether this issue is due to be rectified? I would hope that at least one developer/engineer could be allocated to investigate.

Thanks - and here's hoping for a resolution.

On XP, 5069v3 fails on hibernate too. But previous drivers 5057v3 works perfectly. So this is a regression, not something impossible to fix ...

Can anyone confirm if the Delta V64 5.10.00.5069v3 drivers are working properly on the Delta 192 in Windows Vista 64 SP1 ?

Does resuming from sleep work properly?

EDIT: Installed the Delta 192 in Windows Vista 64 SP1 with the 5.10.00.5069v3 drivers and have had no problems. Shutdown and sleep is fine. Running at 24/192 with 256 samples is less than 1ms of latency.

My experience with the M-Audio Delta AP-192 driver (Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3) for Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 (32bit) is somewhat weird. Definitely annoying and very time consuming. My experience is a highly unstable driver to say the least!

Yes, we are talking blue screen crashes. And yes, like many of you I am both frustrated and surprised to find that M-Audio apparently is not working actively to solve this problem on what otherwise appears to be a high profile product.

I don't think that "the blue screen crash" surprise is solely connected to Vistas sleep mode. Every time I install a new piece of sound software I can be assured of one thing: Blue screen crash. After the data dump (the blue screen crash), the machine needs to be rebooted in Safe Mode, and the AP-192 driver needs to be COMPLETELY uninstalled (meaning, using the clean-up function of the Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3.exe file). Then a re-install of the Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3, and everything is apparantly stable again. (This is fairly roughly what I mean by "annoying" and "time consuming").

And then just today I needed to install a couple of updates from the Microsoft Windows web site (Explorer 8, .NET 3.5 and some Office security updates) - and the incredible blue screen crash again became a part of my evening experience.

Safe Mode boot. Off with the driver....On again. And here we go. Around and around. Eventually the system became stable again. (This is a damn good crystal clear reason for people NOT to buy this product).

Who on earth is responsible for this highly unstable and extremely unprofessional version of a Vista SP1 (32bit) driver?

Wow, I just discovered this thread after getting tired of the friggin' blue screens. I am running a Delta 410 on Vista 32-bit SP1. To not even try to fix this issue and suggest disabling the driver when "not working with audio" is a joke. I almost wish they'd never released these crappy drivers for Vista at all.

Also, while I'm moaning, can anyone tell me why the Delta 410 is classified as legacy, while many other Delta products that I believe are from the same era, like the 1010, etc. are not.

Having exactly the same problem with a freshly installed machine, Windows Vista Ultimate x64 using an Audiophile 2496.

I had this problem with my last PC and various reinstalls on this machine and problem STILL persists after all this time and with latest drivers

Any update on when this will be fixed? as its stands, I cant use my soundcard!

Oh yeah, just returned from ANOTHER blue-screen-crash, thought I'd step by to see...well...to see...?! >>> that the idiotic company responsible for the coding of this driver HAS STILL NOT MADE ANY EFFORTS TO SOLVE OUT ITS MESS?!!

On the positive side - yeah hell, the whole M-Audio 192 driver-story actually DOES have a positive side - the driver a p p a r a n t l y works on an Intel based machine running MS Windows Vista 32bit (SP1). See, I have this nephew who's ALSO very interested in music, so I helped him out, installing operating system and sound software from scratch (of course scaring his ass off with horrible nasty stories of all the troubles he's bound to encounter, using cripled hard- and especially software from M-Audio). This scratch-install gave me a truly R A R E glance at how things COULD (make that SHOULD!) run on my machine also.

The major difference between his machine and mine would appear to be Intel vs. AMD, really. He's using an Intel 2,66 quad core q6600 based board with 3GB on it, whereas I'm, well, at least TRYING to run my sound-software on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ with 4GB ram (oh, I just had yet another blue-screen while typing this, just for the record. Love it. Can't imagine a life without it anymore).

And just what did that "discovery" make me do? Format my machine completely. Scratch install. The whole mill. MAYBE my entire system was somehow corrupt?

NO. No No No....and absolutely NO! - my desperate measures didn't bring anything but a servere waste of time with it - thanx again, M-Audio (truly professional staff you've got there). A completely clean install is NOT the answer to anyone of you guys out there suffering from the same M-Audio inflicted troubles.

System:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+
- 4 GB RAM
- Microsoft Windows Vista 32bit (both WITH and WITHOUT SP1)
- All the latest drivers (including "the latest" so-called Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3 from M-Audio which consistenly brings my system to its knees).
- NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (hell, I'm into SOUND not graphics)
- Onboard Realtek High Definition audio component (which my nephew ALSO had, so you don't need to speculate if THAT's the reason. It's clearly not.).

ERROR EXPERIENCE:
EVERY time I install a midi-related piece of software and set it up to use my M-Audio 192 soundcard, upon reboot my machine CONSISTENTLY throws a blue-screen-crash!

WHAT WORKS FOR ME (that is: steals my time in rediculous proportions):
1) Upon reboot from a blue-screen-crash hit F8 and enter your operating system in SAFE MODE.
2) Use Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3.exe ("the latest" so-called driver from M-Audio) to COMPLETELY wipe out any driver information on your system.
3) Use Delta_V32_5.10.00.5069v3.exe once again to re-install the driver.
4) Reboot.


...it works for me, however time-consuming and insulting it may appear to me as a consumer. You may want to give it a go.

While we wait for the M-Audio engineers to finish reading the Windows Driver Kit documentation, here is a solution I've implemented on my Vista-64 system.

1. Obtain the program devcon.exe in the appropriate version for your system. The 32-bit version can be downloaded publicly from Microsoft, but the Vista 64-bit version is only available in the Windows Driver Kit from Microsoft Connect. (Yes, you have to register blah, blah, blah but it's worth it.)

2. Look up your sound card hardware ID in Device Manager. (Properties/Details/Hardware Ids). Right click one of them and choose "Copy."

3. Put devcon.exe and a new batch file (I called mine safesleep.bat) in the same folder. Here are the contents of the batch file:
devcon disable hardware_id
rundll32 powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0
devcon enable hardware_id
hardware_id is, of course, the ID you just copied in Device Manager.

4. Open up the batch file Properties and on the Compatibility tab, check "Run this program as an administrator."

5. Put the file or a shortcut wherever it's handy to you. I put mine in the QuickLaunch toolbar with a power button icon.

6. Use only this batch file (or a shortcut) to put your computer to sleep.

Hi there,

I'd grown almost accustomed to turning my Delta Audiophile 192 OFF evertime I closed down my computer. On not so rare occasions I'd forget it, and the blue screen crash would immediately remind me of why I should never have bought this insulting piece of a sound card - or rather, the drivers that came with it.

BUT! Recently, that would be within the past 14 days (I'd guess), this particular and HIGHLY frustratring problem simply evaporised from my machine. Vanished. Gone. Not there!

No. I haven't changed anything, done anything unusual or weird. Nothing. Except perhaps for continuously downloading updates from Microsoft - which is NOT unusual, right?

My humble guess is that some Microsoft Update thing in some miraculous fashion just cured my machine out of its miseries. But I had stopped looking for solves for this problem, and the solve therefore only revealed itself by accident. I simply forgot to turn the driver OFF, and was expecting one of those nasty blue devil things.

I have no one left to blame anymore. My rage left my body and soul overnight. Strange. Especially considering the time I was forced to live with it. And suddenly I don't even know if any of those former accusations up there in the thread against M-Audio was completely justified, or if it was really Microsoft who had a bug in its system files somewhere.

So - to the M-Audio team: I'm finally very pleased to experience the impressive and undisturbed powers of the Delta Audiophile 192. Truly great soundcard. Now that it works. Really works.

...what took you so long, man?

Hi anyone,

my former post is no longer valid. Again, I have absolutely NO idea of what really happened. I got a somewhat unusual blue screen crash that I did not directly associate with the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192 soundcard driver.

This is not to say that my system is "unstable". I'd say that appart from this very very rare incident, which may occur with something like 2 years in between (and sufficiently poor software), my system NEVER acts weird.

After this little incident, everything is back to "normal". Please interpret "normal" as a stage where I'm forced to deactivate the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192 soundcard driver from Device Manager before shutdown, unless I want my system to throw the "normal" blue screen crash.

I am...I'd say...back to basics. Back to hell. Back to a place where the engineers at M-Audio finds please on it for me to be. Rage returned...overnight.

Did I just salute the M-Audio Team in that former post? We are back to words like incompetent, imbiciles, idiots and the likes again. With a chance that I may actually miss the mark a bit with my accusations.

But I can live with that. I can live with these guys being only 95% morons.
