Hi All,
In the past, I could never get my PARIS setup with a virtua via chassis to pass more than a handful of channels under windows xp before I got crackles.
I just tried it under Windows 7 64, and it is playing 32 channels over two cards perfectly!
I still have to test recording a bunch of tracks, but this bodes very well for the future of PARIS in a PCI-less world!
I'm using an Gigabyte AMD 790 based motherboard, so there is no reason to think that the newer AMD chipsets will be any different.
I've got the virtua via host card in one of the two PCI slots intended for graphics cards - this puts the PCI channel on the north bridge on the CPU (fast) instead of the south bridge (slower).
For the record, I think that the people at virtua via are a bunch of jerks because I sent several support requests about both my PARIS and UAD cards not working well, and they didn't even have the courtesy to write me back. However, there are other companies selling basically the same hardware, and the virtua via system does seem to work!
Sweet!
Mike
