Q: I have read that the card is full duplex, but I can't do simultaneous record and
playback with Cakewalk!
A: Simultaneous record and playback needs to be enabled in Cakewalk Pro Audio. In the
software, go to
Settings > Audio Options > Advanced
and make sure
Enable simultaneous
record and playback
is checked.
Q: I am using Cubase VST 5.x and I'm going crazy: always when I change a setting inside
External Links or the mixer, the playback suddenly stops!
A: Make sure the menu entry
Options > Active in Background
is checked inside Cubase. This is
a general Cubase setting and not related to the audiocards driver.
Q: I am using Cubase VST 3.xx and I'm going crazy: always when I change a setting
inside External Links or the mixer, the playback suddenly stops!
A: Goto
File > Preferences
and make sure that
Active in Background
is checked for
MIDI
and
Audio
. This is a general Cubase setting and not related to the audiocards driver.
Q: I am using Cubase VST 5.x and it crashes as soon as I select the ASIO driver under
Windows 2000 / XP.
A: Launch SetupMME (inside the Steinberg folder of your Start-menu) and disable Microsoft
GS Wavetable Synth as MIDI device. We also recommend to set
ADSP24 Int. Audio Device
as
prefered playback device in
Control Panel > Sounds & Multimedia > Audio
.
Q: I am using Nuendo under Windows 2000 / XP and it crashes as soon as I select the
ASIO driver.
A: Please set
ADSP24 Int. Audio Device
as prefered playback device under
Control Panel >
Sounds & Multimedia > Audio
. Then reboot the system and launch Nuendo again.
Q: When recording or playing audio, I get an audible click about every 3 to 5 seconds. Is
the hardware defective?
A: No! First of all, check the following two settings:
Make sure the 'auto-play' function for CD-ROMs is disabled. Goto
Control Panel > System >
Device Manager > CD-ROM
and select
Properties
for all CD-ROM drives. Now disable
Auto
Insert Notification
under
Settings
.
DMA access for your IDE HDDs must be enabled. Goto
Control Panel > System > Device
Manager > Disk Drives
and select
Properties
for each IDE-HDD you have installed (an entry
is typically called
GENERIC IDE DISK TYPExx
). Now enable
DMA
under
Settings
.
Please check these settings from time to time. Some Windows installations 'loose' the DMA
and CD-ROM notification settings when you are changing certain elements in the hardware
configuration or if you boot Windows in Safe Mode.
Q: I can hear cracks and noise when I play my recorded audio signal! Is this a hardware
problem?
