Fusion 5 lite with Avermedia A180

[wazkaren]

Has anyone had any luck with a Fusion and Avermedia card in the same system? I have one of each and I'm trying to get them to play nice together. If I use either one alone they work great. But when I try to record from both at the same time I'm getting a Windows crash (BSOD) with a "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" in ZuluTCap.sys. This points to the Fusion driver. I've tried the 3.02 Fusion driver as well as the 3.11 and 3.20 beta. I've tried moved that cards around to different slots and verified that they do not share IRQs. Anybody have any ideas? I'll send a note off to Fusion support but I thought I'd check here and see if anyone else has this setup working.

EDIT: I just discovered that if I remove the Fusion from Sage and use just the A180 in Sage to record and then use the Fusion app to record from the Fusion at the same time I don't have any problems. Could this be a Sage problem?

Thanks,
Greg

I've found that this is definately NOT a Sage problem. I can create the same crash with GraphEdit or WatchHDTV.

Nobody running both cards? I'm thinking I'll go with matching Avermedia or Fusion cards instead of mixing. Does anyone use 2 A180's or 2 Fusions? Which should I go with?

Thanks,

In hopes that maybe this will help someone else I think my problem is solved. I installed the latest beta driver from Dvico and turned off hyperthreading. I think it was the hyperthreading that did the trick. I've been recording two channels for about 30 minutes now. With hyperthreading on I would crash after about 2 seconds.
