Graphics sweeping slow - Fixed by reducing audio card acceleration

[George]

I'd never tried to enter a negative value, but remembered the picture in the manual showing it as an entry...sorry about that.

You might try reducing the audio hardware accelleration settings, if you haven't already. That could have an effect on the sync.

George,
Thanks for the reminder about the audio hardware acceleration settings. That had slipped my mind, what little is left. It was at full acceleration so I lowered it one click and now the sweeping is in sync. Thanks, I appreciate it.

You're more than welcome, and thanks for the feedback. Too often we wind up wondering if the problem has been cured or not.

Must drive support nuts not to get feedback...it's important, whether positive or negative.

Thanks again.

Glad you thought of this one George, slipped my mind for this issue also. Will add this to my notes.

just an update on my original post:

I have downloaded directx 9.0c, the most current nividia driver available, and I have made numerous adjustments to the hardware acceleration settings. I'm still experiencing slow graphics.

Prior to the 2.213 upgrade I had no sweep problems at all. No other programs have been installed on this computer since the upgrade. But from the very day that I did the upgrade the complaints from my customers began and they have not subsided.

It appears to me that the sweep is 2 words behind sometimes more. Some songs are not affected but there is no pattern to the brand of disc i.e. Some sound choice are fine and others are not etc. I have found no brand that appears better than the other.

Obviously this is frustrating..I'm sure there is an answer. I'm open to any suggestions.

Well I decided to go back and install a prior hoster version that I downloaded on 7/15/04 to see if that would make any changes. And Bingo!!!!!!

Everything now works perfectly! I checked out all the songs from last nights gig that were sweeping slow that I received negative comments on and they are now sweeping just fine. I checked on 30+ songs just to make sure. No other changes were made other than the installation of the prior version of hoster.

When I check in Hoster to see which version it is it says 2.213 #3. However this could not be because this version was not released until 8/05, and 2.213 was not released until 7/31, and this file was downloaded on 7/15, so it must be 2.212

Anyway problems are solved for now. I will continue to use this version until I can find a fix when using newer releases.

just when I thought the problem was solved, it's back

after reinstalling an old version everything was working great..the timing was perfect on the sweep. So I shut down the laptop and loaded it in the van to go to my Saturday Nite gig and started my show. The first song out of the gate had the delayed sweep and every singer was commenting on it. After a while they all got use to it and the comments stopped.

I'm beginning to think that this is somehow linked to system settings that go to the defalut setting when my laptop boots up. Just guessing here. I'm becoming fairly confident that it is not the Hoster program that is the problem.

I really don't know where to start.
