SoundBlaster PCI128 MKI

[ironwood321]

I'm trying to debug a dropping frame problem on a friends system and seem to have narrowed things down to probably the sound card. What I am wondering is, has anyone experienced any problems with dropped frames with systems which contain a Sound Blaster PCI 128 MKI sound card i.e. the one which contain 2 inputs and 2 outputs. The sound card is internally connected to the PC-TV capture card.

Capturing with no sound and the highest resolution works but as soon as you enable capturing with sound and no matter what frequency or bit depth is used I experience dropped frames?

A high spec hard drive and other components are being used and AVI_IO. Codec being used is Huffyuv or Man concepts DV codec.

I have a SB-128 PCI board, I have to imagine it's similar to yours (if not THE same).

I notice sporadic frame drops out of nowhere in MMC, and V-Dub does it's frame-drop compensation thing (which points to the sound card timing problem, rather than anything else). So, yes I would say a new card would be in order...

In the mean time I assume you can use V-Dub to capture, since it is compensating for that problem...
