You can try to make PCI dumps before loading the vortex driver for multiple times and compare logs for case when it feeeze and when it didn't freeze to see it there would be any difference. Also, did you try to swap the soundcard to second PCI slot?
I tried both slots its the same. I wonder how SMB working, is list affected by virtual drivers devices etc.. or its only HW level, because from you post it seems to that it is affected by SW too??
Because its freezing in most of the cases 80% and even when it is working it failing very quickly.. it would be hard to make those logs, it would take lots of time..
I also tried to Aureal V1 with PCI-E to PCI bridge on X58, im not 100% sure that all was connected how it should be (these adapters are clunky), but there is big change that it was.. and when i tried create log with SMB.. i got pc speaker beeping and some strange binary characters on screen freeze.. i now that it is beta, but in all other cases it worked well.
Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.
