As I think a lot of people here are also using M-Audio Delta 1010LT sound cards, I thought it might be worth posting this question here.
Lately I’ve started to lose channels on the card. I’m using the outputs in stereo (so left and right) giving me 4 stereo outputs. 2 sets work fine, 2 don’t. I’ve started losing the left channels on 2 of those output sets. Right is fine, but left is barely audible, creating a mono sounding output.
I’ve followed some suggestions made by M-Audio, being: Unplug the break-out cable and plug it back in, replace the card into a different PCI slot and thoroughly clean the card. None of these made any difference at all.
Has anybody else had this problem before and if so, how did you solve it?
Thanks!
(Oh, I’m still running the OLD M-Audio driver, which still has the ‘independant’ option in the settings. Because I don’t want to lose that, I haven’t upgraded the software/driver)
I presume if this is a ‘stock fault’ that it will be documented somewhere on the Intertubes.
I therefore further presume that you have already Googled for it?

shrug< Just my 2p worth.

But of course. I wouldn’t just post a question without having done any research myself. The only mention I’ve found was on the M-Audio forum itself, where a user had the same problem, but with the inputs, rather than the outputs. The answer was mind-boggling, but I’ve tried them anyway. 1) Disconnect the breakout cable en reconnect it. 2) Open the PC up and move the card to a different PCI slot. 3) Clean the card thoroughly. I’ve done all those things, but it made no difference at all.
So I thought I’d put the question here, hoping somebody knows the solution…
I’ve opened a support ticket with M-Audio, in order to find a solution to this problem. I’ve also tried upgrading the software/driver to the latest version, but it made no difference either.
I’m an M-Audio user, but I have a Delta 410 (PCI) which I got in 2004. Originally, under Windows 2000 Pro it had some problems with DirectX (I was using AudioEnhanceDPS at the time) and re-cueing and re-starting a player would cause an audible “blip” as though there was about 25mS of sound still in the buffer. A different set of drivers (not the latest at the time) seemed to cure it. Under XP there are no such problems and applications using the BASS DLL (BCX3, mAirList, RSPlayer etc) and even DARP (which uses FMOD) are fine. DPS also works as expected.
Which brings me to my main point: Where do the channels drop out ? In mAirList or across Windows in general ?
