hi,

i use Audigy Platinum EX in WinXP with 3GB RAM and i use Audigy Creative drivers v. 4 02.09.0016;
i have already tweaked the paged pool size registry key to ffffffff;

so i can load successfully any .sf2 soundfont in AudioHQ
UPTO 384 MB size;
after that size(>384) i cannot load any soundfont :-(,
even if i correclty set in soundfont device memory cache >1GB of avaliable memory ram.
...
is there any way to load sf2 soundfont >384 mb in xp audiohq ?
can any of you confirm me this a problem related only to the AUDIGY
cards and not the X-FI cards(or the limitation still exits in x-fi cards) ?

look here what i found in another forum:
"**: SoundBlaster Audigy cards may address as much as 4GB of sample data in host memory but suffer from other issues. Regardless of how much memory is installed in your system, Windows, with the default setting regarding paged pool size (a memory management key set in the Windows registry) will limit yourself to load roughly 145 MB. Changing this setting will enable you to break that limit but "only" to 384 MB (assuming you have enough memory). This has been discussed with Creative and Microsoft but currently there is no fix."

thanks in advance for your reply.
bye,
Jack.
