Alex,
?
Thought
you would like to know. ??As
respects the ver. 1.03.
?
Works
perfectly with the on-board, a Realtek AC-97.?? However, still not working with a Creative Labs
Soundblaster 24 Bit External.
?
With the Sounddblaster
the L & R inputs read 6dbfs each, sound very distorted.?? The auto I Q balance is not
operational.? It is as if the input
is reading mono only. ?Tried mic
and line input.? ?Tried all various settings on control
panel.
?
With the
Realtek AC-97, the input is –33dbfs each channel and sound is super, the I Q
balance is working nicely,? just
can’t sample the 96 Khz.? ?
?
John?

Rocky 1.03 has
been uploaded to
This version is supposed to fix a number of problems (none of which I could
reproduce on my system) - in particular, the inability of Rocky to open
some
sound cards, and occasional floating point errors.
V.1.03 has an input level meter which should be useful for troubleshooting
hardware problems. The function of the meter is controlled by the the
InputMeter setting in the INI file.
InputMeter = 0? - Off
InputMeter = 1? - the peak level of the input signal, separately for
each
channel.
InputMeter = 2? - noise floor.
To change the mode, open Rocky.ini in a text editor and change the setting,
then start Rocky.
The values are shown on the status bard in dBFS units - that is, in dB in
respect to the full scale of the A/D converter.
Use mode 1 to make sure that you are not overloading the sound card. The
values close to 0 dBFS indicate a problem.
In Mode 2, the power of the wideband noise (the flat portion of the
spectrum) is displayed. The meter in this mode is insensitive to narrowband
signals, not even to the garbage in the center of the spectrum.
