Hi Tim,
Thanks for the info.
I have just purchased VAC and have version 4.10.0.2537 and have been
disappointed with it, I thought
it was the settings that I was using, I got them from the Flex
Knowledge Centre.
I've found there are huge delays getting the sound to fldigi for CW
and PSK31 decoding, seems extremely slow?
I'm running it on a 3.4Ghz Quad Core AMD 965 system which is showing
total CPU load at <5% for 99% of the time so I know
it's not the system under load causing the problem :)
On SSB there is a lot of popping and audio drops outs making it
almost unusable, I was about to contact the author and ask
for a refund but I'll hold fire until you get a result from them and
hopefully a patch fix!
Please keep us informed of progress.
Thanks.
Mike.

Subject: [Flexradio] Caution: New VAC version, 4.10 does not work well
with PowerSDR

To all Flexers,
There is a new version of VAC, v4.10 that has been released in the
past
few days. Initial testing has indicated that it is *not* a "drop in"
replacement for VAC v4.09.
I have been experiencing significant audio drop outs on receive and
(worse) on transmit. Changing sample rates and buffers sizes does not
seem to make any improvement in the audio quality.
I would strongly recommend that Flexers who utilize VAC *NOT* install
VAC 4.10 until some of these issues can be rectified. If you do
plan to
test VAC 4.10, please do so with a dummy load until you are certain of
the quality of signal you are transmitting.
I have started a correspondence with the VAC developers to help
identify
and rectify the significant deficiencies and defects in VAC 4.10 as
they
pertain to its use with PowerSDR.
One other note to all users. Please do not post on the reflectors the
URL for VAC upgrades. This is private information and is shared with
only registered users of VAC and not the thousands of users on the
reflectors. The distributors of VAC don't appreciate it and obviously
get a little upset if it is done since it allows their software to be
easily pirated. If you are a registered user of VAC and you do not
know
how to get updates, you must contact the entity you purchased VAC from
to get that information.
-Tim
