Lynx Firmware Update
Follow the steps below steps to update the firmware
1) Close all audio apps and the Lynx Mixer
2) Click Start > All Programs > Lynx Studio Technology > Uninstall Lynx Driver (If it’s not there, try using File Explorer to go to C:\Program Files\Lynx Studio Technology/ and run "V2uninstall")
3) Reboot when prompted
4) Download and install driver build 24d: https://www.lynxstudio.com/downloads/aes16e/windows-driver-v2-build-24d/
5) Download and install the current firmware updater: https://www.lynxstudio.com/downloads/aes16e/lynxfirmware-updater/
6) Program the AES16e with firmware rev 14.1
7) Shut down computer when prompted, after it completes successfully.
In Lynx Mixer: Added “Show PCIe DMA Read Completion Latency” option to Settings > Advanced. This option will temporarily display the PCI Express DMA read completion latency on the toolbar while streaming in ASIO. This setting is not saved with the mixer scene so each launch of Lynx Mixer will have this option unchecked. The latency value can be used in conjunction with the Settings > Advanced > Hardware Payload Size to insure glitch free streaming. The current maximum value will be displayed in both microseconds and samples (adjusted for the current sample rate). The Hardware Payload Size should always be double the worst-case latency number in samples. The ASIO Buffer Size should always be a minimum of 4 times the Hardware Payload Size. If the displayed latency is higher than 8 samples, settings in the BIOS should be changed. Relevant settings are Intel SpeedStep (should be disabled, sometimes called EIST); C-States (C1E, C3 and C6 should all be disabled); and Intel Trusted Execution Technology (should be disabled). All of these settings can cause the CPU/Chipset to be delayed in responding to PCI Express DMA read/write requests which can cause glitches in the audio stream.
