Stutters on playback and recording about 30-60 seconds of playing fine and then a spike. I used the DPC latency tool and it said there was a problem with the drivers. It showed a definite spike periodically. I'm using the 6.08 drivers
System is: i5 / gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP motherboard / 8 gigs ram / wd black hd
Worked fine on my old system under xp and windows 7 32 bit. Replaced with an identical (known and tested working) card thinking it was a hardware issue and it did the same thing.
Please help!
Stuttering problem under windows 7 64bit

Hello,
I'm sorry for the difficulty!
Which M-Audio product do you have? What DAW or audio software are you using primarily?
Let me know and I'd be happy to help!Comment -

Whoops. All that and I forgot to mention it. It's an audiophile 2496. I know it's old, but I'd any help to keep the card and not have to spend hundreds on a usb system.

Hi,
You know that the PCI slot on that motherboard is very much likely to be 'bridged' and not native.
This is a known problem with the current crop of motherboards, that the PCI slot could, in theory, be supported properly, but is infact 'bridged' to the controller chip and potentially shares resources with Firewire and maybe USB lanes. There's also a chance that it may not be perfectly PCI spec.
If you do a search for "Z87 and native PCI" you should get some idea of the problem.
Ideally we should be using PCIe interfaces on these modern motherboards, but there isn't an in-house alternative to any of the Delta series PCI cards.
Kind regards -

Thank you 16 bit. That seems to make the most sense. I did find a setting in the motherboard to switch pci to a legacy type setting, but it made no difference. And if things are happening at a hardware level, nothing to do. Guess i'll have to work around with the crappy onboard audio until I can replace it. It's too bad no one makes something like the delta for pcie. It is a unique interface.

PCI-e alternatives to the AP2496 of similar price (if you can even find them):
ESI Juli@ XTe
...
If you don't need the inputs, there are other internal options (Asus for instance).
It just seems like no one want's to make a consumer/semi-pro PCI-e audio 2I/2O card. It's all gone USB. -

Check your device manager to see that the correct drivers have been installed, I came across a problem with Delta1010 drivers 5069v3 for XP64 installing 32bit drivers instead due to a badly written maudio inf file.
Check the driver name and post it back here so that Dan can confirm it IS a 64bit driver. -
