M4400 Sound-card replacement

You're welcome....i had the same for a while before upgrading to my new card, worked great!

Hope you enjoy it!

 

Hey, so I finally received the PC-Card Indigo IO but I still can't hear anything when I plug headphones into the card. I believe I followed the directions correctly with the installation and everything, but still no luck :/

Do you have any ideas as to what I might have forgotten to do or if you had to do anything else to hear the audio?

My main goal is to hear the Symphobia in Kontakt Player 2, but its seems that no audio in general is coming through.

 

You have to disable the internal soundcard and choose the echo as default sound device.

 

I believe windows did that automatically for me and I double-checked it anyways, but I still don't hear any sound

Did this work almost immediately for you? I hope I didn't get a defective one!


EDIT: I forgot to set the audio in Kontakt Player 2 to Echo - WOW - it sounds fantastic! Thank you sooo much.

 

Your welcome, have fun with it!

 

Hey LP, I got it to work for a few hours but after I reopened KP 2 the quality sounded like IDT again! I double checked the sound settings in windows and KP 2 again just like I got it to work before, but it's still not working.

I'm wearing small MP3 earphones and I don't like listening to things loudly so I'm confused because I'm afraid that this thing blew out or something without me noticing.

What do you think is going on?

 

Did you disable the IDT? Just disable it, not uninstall, in your device manager and restart your laptop with the Indigo in it. This way the Indigo will be the only sound device on your laptop and should be selected automatically....then check sound device setup etc.

 

I disabled it and I'm still getting the artifacts! This means that either KP is messed up, or the Echo is damaged. This is really scaring me - do you think it's possible that I blew the Indigo out somehow?

 

artifacts?? hmm that's weird....like skipping and crackling? Make sure you've set everything too run at the same settings like 48000Hz and check your latency setting in the Indigo software or through KP...try to set it higher, like 10ms to see if it gets better....can you also set buffers and such in KP?

 

No skipping that I've noticed, but a whole bunch or crackling, like the IDT sounded when I first used KP with it.

Okay, so I've got the say, the Indigo must have been slightly damaged. I don't understand why, but it sounds clear again when I change the latency to 15ms (at 14 and lower, the cracking kicks in). Does this mean that the latency will constantly need to be lowered as it falls apart or something over time?

Changing to 48000Hz and to 24000Hz (from 44100Hz) didn't change anything so it must have to do with latency.

I noticed when I dropped to 24000Hz and change the latency to 10ms again, a window popped up saying "the latency level is too low for efficient multi-processor support"

- which leaves me very confused. Doesn't lower latency mean slower reaction? If so, then it contradicts my assumption that multi-processor support should be better then single core... weird.

Another thing, the more Hz = higher quality?

Thanks for answering everything so far!
