Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Is there any way to set the clock source on either of your soundcards? I get
lots of crackles when my MP-7 is plugged into my E-MU Ultra sampler but I
don't have the clock source set to the SPDIF input. Setting the clock source
to SPDIF gets rid of the crackles.

Regards,

Stu

Subject: [xl7] Weak SPDIF signal


I'm having extreme difficulty with the SPDIF output on my MP7. It
would seem that the digital signal is very weak coming out of the
box. At first I thought it may have been a cable quality issue, but
after purchasing a very high quality cable, the problem continued.
I'm getting a lot of crackles in the signal. I have two soundcards
with SPDIF input which i've been attempting to use, a Waveterminal
192L and an Audiophile USB. I've had difficulty with both, although
the Waveterminal seems slightly more tolerant. I notice that if i
press my finger on the metal section of the digital jack while
plugged into the MP7 the charge from my body boosts the signal so it
is crystal clear... Is there any other way i can boost the power of
the signal using the MP7 itself or a third party device?
