I recently acquired an used ATI wonder hd 600 usb stick and installed it without problems in my laptop with windows 7 home premium 64 bits using the drivers provided in this site ( vista 64 bits version 5.7.0831.0 - 08/31/07 from eMPIA). I also installed it (32 xp version) on a legacy XP machine also without problems.
However when I installed it in a recently desktop build ( Asus Z170-A, I7 6700k 4Ghz, 16 GB DDR4 3200 ,Asus Strix GTX 960 4Gd5, Samsung SSD ( 256GB+1TB)+ 2TB Seagate SSHD, windows 7 Professional 64 bits) it gave me some problems. The driver installed normally, apparently without problems. It appears on device manager and
Virtualdub identify it and can use it.
But anytime in
Virtualdub I select Video , capture pin ,capture filter it takes several seconds sometimes um minute to respond with virtualdub sometimes indicating not responding. One time it crashed and showed me the “blue screen”. Also start and stop capture are delayed don’t respond immediately.
I tried version 1.9.11, 1.10.4 and 1.10.4 64 bits versions and the problem is similar .
I´m able to capture, only these delays are bothersome and if the driver as some install problem it could eventually impact the capture results, that’s what worries me more.
I searched for alternative drivers and found on Diamond support pages a vista 64 bits driver version 22 from 08/05/2008 and in the AMD support pages a 10.4 version from 4/28/2010( with ati avivo codecs).

I don’t know if the best driver is still the one that I downloaded from this forum or if any of these could actually be better and also help to solve this situation.
From other side I have not yet tried to unmounted and remount the driver, it may have happened that it installed incorrectly but without notice.
I was also interested to know if
in Pal environment the ATI CMC could be installed only for preview of audio + video because in Virtualdub is real difficult to adjust the proc amp for the Ati usb. Doesn´t react proportional and with my current problems ( delays ) the things are still worse.
Related to sound quality does anyone as experience if it could be best to by-pass the ati card and use the mobo line-in or sound card , or use the standard video capture audio connectors to get the best result.
Thank you so much for your comments on this points
