Creative Audigy Notebook Edition and a M6807 - Page 2

This has been discussed to death. The ENE CB 1410 is a POS. It's not providing enough bandwidth for the Audigy2 ZS notebook to work right.

Getting new drivers for the ENE chip is pointless. They do nothing. I tried about 5 different driver revisions. Actually only about 2 since most of the "drivers" are just INF files to tell Windows what to call your chip in Device Manager. One of them comes with a driver file that does something, but it didn't help the A2ZS at all. Ordinarily cardbus controllers just use XP's built-in PCMCIA driver.

You can solve the problem almost entirely by using WPCREDIT to up the Audigy's PCI Latency register to F8 from 20. This will raise the PCI Latency of the card from 32 clocks to 248 clocks. It's not a great solution, cuz it means your Audigy is going to be hogging the PCI bus, but it's the only solution right now. I haven't noticed any adverse affects because of it.

Instructions in that thread.

The ENE works fine with my Magma expansion chassis with 3 UAD-1 cards and a UWSCSI card. As well as with the RME card, which is a proffessional card.

Have tou ever thought that it's crappy programming on the Creative crad?

There could be a serious issue with the first batch of Audigy notebook PCMCIA cards. Looks like popping and noises are not limited to the ENE chipset alone. I may hold off a bit until creative revises their card. It's just a little too scary right now.

I had the exact same problem. Creative installs "device control" onto your control pannel, go in there and change the sample rate from 48---> 96hz. Worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

*edit* I have the SB NX, but it sounds like the same static problem. I have the VIA K8T800 on my M:860
