Thanks. Managed to get ahold of an m audio 24/96 card today and it has fixed the issue. Plus the sound quality is far superior to the audigy so I reckon I will be buying one. I think kozikowski is right in that it is a driver issue. Creative should look into this, I will be posting them a mail about...

Trebor - how do you get that view of the waveform that shows the clipping? Can't find it in audacity.

I've tried altering the booth output so I peak at -6 dB and even lower at -24dB but I'm still getting the same distortion. I took the mixer out the loop completely and used the tape outs of my amp but still the same. I am going to try and get ahold of a better quality sound card tonight. I'll keep y...

Been mucking around with the soundcard settings for a while now but nothing seems to fix it. I've tried turning levels down in the recording devices menu (access by rightclicking the speaker icon in the tray at the bottom right) and changing as many settings as I can find but with no joy yet.

I've spent the past hour unplugging everything electrical I can find but this has had no effect. Is it ...

Yeah I agree there. It is a loud recording but I have recorded about 250 LPs at the same level under XP and they display none of the metallic interference I'm getting now. With the gain turned down on the turntable output and at the control panel for the soundcard I'm still getting the metallic nois...

Thanks for reply. I gave it a shot and i'm pretty sure it's not the gain setting. It's there with the gain turned down too. Any other help welcome.

Thanks.

Hi all, I'm looking for some help with a problem I am having with ripping vinyl to my computer. I have been doing this for the past year with no problems however after a recent house move and an upgrade to Windows 7 I'm encountering some irritating interference on recording. I can't hear it all the ...
