I have the 896mk3. I'm experiencing lots of pops and jitters during playback and recording in Sonar X1. When I resize windows, turn knobs on vsts or just about anything other than sit in the chair, I'm getting artifacts in the audio. I re installed all the drivers. It's still not performing as it should.
I went to try and make latency adjustments or whatever to try and correct it but it doesn't appear there is anyway to adjust mixing latency and when I select the ASIO panel it doesn't do squat. I'm using the 64bit Win 7 drivers. I don't know what the deal is. I used DPC Latency checker and it said my machine shouldn't experience any latency and the graph didn't go above 500u seconds. I don't know if a crappy graphics card would cause this but it's been going on far too long and I can't ignore it anymore. Someone mentioned IRQ settings. Where is that? What adjustments can I make?
I really don't understand what all the playback timer and record timing device is and all that stuff. In the device driver profile all of the drivers are selected for the 896mk3. I'm using the 512 buffer.
I just don't know what needs to be what for optimum usage. I've read the manual a few times. I've read the Sonar manual a few times. So many selections! So much stuff to adjust, check, uncheck. I makes my head swim. What do I need to do? What might be causing these artifacts?

Hi. Here's a recent response of mine that I copied/pasted:
You can try the legacy IEEE 1394 driver on your system already.
But ya, I'm guessing you've had bsod issues since most do at one time or another that aren't stability experts.
C:\Windows\Minidump
If you have that folder, I can look over your system and tell you everything you need to do to stabilize the machine to be perfect. That also usually goes a long way to stabilize the audio too.
You can copy files in there to any other folder then zip or rar them. Upload to http://www.Rapidshare.com or similar and paste a link here.
Other than that, I would make sure there is not overclock on the cpu/ram (as a test). Even more important than even that is to make sure that the ram timings are not advanced past the SPD spec of the memory. Lower values than intended can cause negative consequences here.
