Strange Random Buzz Distortion Noise!
Hi all,
Long time M-Audio Delta 44 user here. I love it to bits. So much so that I'm now a loyal M-Audio fan, with an Axiom 61 under my belt, and I even joined the facebook group, hehe.  With that, I've just purchased a Delta 1010lt, and to my surprise, it seems to work fine with my original Delta 44 in Ableton Live! Just plug in my instruments, mute the M-Audio control panel, and activate each channel in Ableton that I'm recording. Works great. BUT, I get this weird random buzz noise, kicking in for 1 second every 4 or so minutes, http://burningfeetman.googlepages.com/Strangebuzz.mp3 It's coming through only on the Delta 1010lt. I can't seem to isolate what's causing it either. I've owned my Delta 44 for about 4 years now, and I remember back in the day that I used to have the odd pop or click, but I got all those settings sorted and working fine. Note how this buzz doesn't sound like a pop or click either. Sounds like a discharge or something... I've no idea! In that recording, the drums are coming through on the 44, whilst the guitar is me playing randomly waiting for the noise on the 1010lt. There is no random distortion on the drums, it's only popping up on the guitar track, random as far as I can tell. Has anyone heard this type of distortion/buzz before? How did you fix it, cause,
In speaking to another friend online, he just updated the drivers on his M-Audio Delta 44, and has reported hearing the exact same distortion! He's also running Win XP Service Pack 3. Note that I'm hearing this on the Delta 1010lt channels, it seems to be on all of the input channels too, although I'm still trial and erroring as we speak. Anyway, I'm new to this hardware, and since these are new drivers out on a new OS service pack, I'd rather report it first than pull my hair out over trying to fix it! My PC is as follows,
Hehe, I can remove my overclock for the sake of testing, but I'm pretty sure that it's not my over clock that causing the problem. My PC hasn't crashed on me yet, and right now it's FREEZING here in Sydney Australia, the cpu is running at a cool 20°C , and it's fast too.

Couldn't help myself, I had to try and fix my problem.
As I progressed deeper and deeper into my issue, many settings were changed, many reboots were had. This and that toggled in the Bios, along with a fan-dangled new program I downloaded called "PCI Latencey Tool"... the more stuff I changed and messed around with, the worse everything got! It got to a stage where Windows itself was popping and clicking on boot, and then Ableton Live wouldn't cease to stop popping! When ever I moved the mouse, when something graphical changed! Erk! Even throw the odd blue screen in there when I disabled my Razor drivers! -_- Thankfully, the oldest trick in the book MAY have, just may have sorted out our little problem here... Revert to the old drivers. You see, I've been running XP service pack 3 using 57v3 M-Audio drivers, and they've been flawless, a little ugly I'll admit, but they work perfectly... I've been running them up until yesterday, when I installed my new 1010lt AND the new drivers... After I uninstalled the latest drivers, I then reinstalled these old 4057 v3 (which install with out a drama on SP3)... everything's working again! Not one pop and click... and I'm yet to hear a strange fuzz noise from the 1010lt. Anyways, hopefully this will help someone out there having the same issue as I have. I'll update this post with any more drama's I come across. Oh, and let me know when you've got the new drivers up and running perfectly like these old ones, cause the new interface looks pretty sexy.
