Possible Cause 3: Some accelerated graphics cards use excessive amounts of system bandwidth, preventing the recording buffer of an audio card from keeping up with demand. This can cause clicks in the recording. Reducing or turning off the graphics card’s graphics acceleration feature often resolves this problem. In Windows, the level of graphics acceleration is accessed from Start Settings Control Panel System Performance Graphics.

Problem: The sound from the monitor mixer is muffled. It sounds as if it were running through a mixer with the treble control turned all the way down! Possible Cause: The current Delta 44 sample rate is too low. The monitor mixer is a digital device that runs at the current sample rate of the Delta 44 board. The frequency response of the mixer is roughly one-half of the sample rate. There is no way to prevent this lost frequency response while playing back or recording at a low sample rate. However, it may be prevented when the system is idle. See the “CODEC SAMPLE RATE” paragraph of the section ‘Hardware Settings Page’ for more information.
