CarDeluxe Monitoring

[mcp6453]

I used to be able to monitor the analog input through the analog outputs
while recording on my CarDeluxe in a Windows 98 machine. Now, I am
unable to do so. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what I changed.
Any suggestions where to look?

This isn't guaranteed, but it's one likely culprit: Go to My Computer;
Control Panel; System; Device Manager; Sound Video & Game Controllers;
CardDeluxe; Monitor. Look at the slider for "Analog Output Mixer". If it's
down, push it up.

That didn't do it? Go to your application, and check to see what it
specifies as its output device. If it's not CardDeluxe Analog, make it so.
Every now and again, some applications, for unknown reasons, revert to
defailt settings, which may not include your preferred output and/or input
device.

There are other possibilities, but those are the first two places I'd look.

Peace,
Paul

The card works fine on playback -- not on monitor while recording.

You need to change the monitoring settings in the CardDeluxe driver.
If there is system tray icon for the CardDeluxe, you can get there easily
with that, otherwise drill down through the multimedia devices, properties
etc.

On the front page of the CardDeluxe settings, make sure the 'Advanced
Monitoring' option is turned on, Then on the monitoring page, you can turn
everything up full, so that whichever input or output device you are
using, the signal will be at both the digital and analog outs.

Still not working. I guess I'll have to call DAL. Thanks.

I've never seen a hardware failure with them (and i've dealt with dozens
of them), so if you're sure you've got the connections and settings right,
then I'd try removing and reinstalling the driver.

Also, I have found once or twice that a built in sound card on the
motherboard caused problems. If you have one, disable it in the bios so
windows can't see it at all.
