Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

I would think that the fault is with the interface not the laptop. It's probably requesting more power than a typical usb port can deliver continuously. I'd agree, especially since the USB supposedly provides 500ma and the preamp is only asking for 150MA, except that this preamp used to work fine o...

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

Hi, Increasing buffers helps reduce skips by creating a larger buffer space in memory so that the program can keep up with the recording. The trade-off is that there is a bigger lag between when the audio enters your computer and when you hear it playing back, but that doesn't really matter much wh...

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

Hi, Cranking your buffers way up is definitely the right thing to do if you've got skipping, but it wouldn't affect the USB problem. Greg I opened task manager to watch CPU and memory usage. Never got close to max when the skips occurred. So far turning the system sound off has had the biggest effe...

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

This really shouldn't be this hard, should it? :cry: The last things I did which seemed to make a difference: 1. Disabled the "device disconnect" system sound. After that I only got short "hiccups" of skipping, not complete disconnects. Apparently the system sound interferes with...

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

Oh, I know it's Windows providing the system sound. It's something in the interface between the Artcessories USB and Win7 USB audio codec input. I've at least been able to change the behavior of the USB audio codec behavior in the Sound window on Win7 using an FAQ from ARTcessories. I've made some p...

Greg,

See my last edit above. Does that point to/illuminate anything ?

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

Well, Googled random usb disconnects, found a few suggestions , nothing worked. I'm looking at Artcessories Phono Plus USB driver as the likely culprit since it's a discontinued item with them.... That's one way to sell new preamps... :evil: Hmm, didn't notice this before: When the USB disconnects, ...

Re: USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and re

The guy with the dog? That was me :lol: . Dog has passed on, as has the computer I was using. New computer , new turntable. Same old Artcessories Phono Plus preamp. I get no "message" as in text message. But I do get the system sound indicating it is disconnecting. No other USB devices con...

Not hibernating. Stopped all services like firewall, etc. Doesn't do it on album of 12 tracks but does it on album of 3 very long tracks.

USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and record

USB disconnects itself (logically not physically) and recording stops. I can hear the system sound that the usb preamp is disconnecting and recording continues but spinitagain shows no input levels. I've read the boards and have my buffers maxed out. Windows 7 Artcessories phono preamp v2 Stanton an...

Use dbPowerAmp Converter. Done.
