Topic: Distorted sound when wireless is up..

Hi all,

I use Pianoteq on a reasonably high spec Dell Latitude E5500 running XP SP3 - CPU is Intel P8400 @ 2.26GHz, and with a Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card. I have an external USB-connected EMU 0202 soundcard.

When the wireless connection is on, the sound is very fuzzy and intermittent, like an electric guitar played through a fuzzbox. When the wireless is physically switched off or disabled, the sound is fine.

I'd like to fix this. So anyone any ideas about what I should do or where I should look?

Thanks to you all - and, as always, respect to Modartt for a great product!

I guess the wireless card and external sound card are interfering with each other.
You could try to use a different wireless card.
I think this cannot be fixed with a simple software setting. Maybe a different driver.

Your driver suggestion pointed me in the right direction.

I upgraded the driver, and the problem appears to be resolved. Hopefully all will remain stable!

Thanks for the help.
