Troubleshooting D-5
Panning a source sometimes turns off its sound
Sometimes when I pan an analog audio input source to the left or to the right, the sound from that
source will go off.
Cause: Digital Output Only mode and conflicting left-right balances in two mixers
This occurs when you are in the Digital Output Only mode and the source’s left-right balance in
a software mixer application other than Surround Mixer (for example, the Windows Volume
Control application) is at the opposite end compared to the position to which you have panned the
source in the Environment deck of Surround Mixer. For example, the CD Audio balance in
Windows Volume Control is on the left but in Surround Mixer you have panned the CD Audio to
the right.
To solve this problem:
• Open that other mixer, and center the balances for all the audio input sources.
This ensures that your analog sources will not turn silent when you pan them in Surround
Mixer.
Problem with
Surround Mixer Unwanted change of mixer settings with every change of super-environment presets.
To solve this problem:
• Dissociate the mixer settings.
1. In the Preset deck, click the Surround Mixer title in the upper-left corner.
The system menu appears, with a command Dissociate Mixer Settings.
2. To dissociate mixer settings, make sure the command is checked.
Insufficient
SoundFont Cache There is insufficient memory to load SoundFonts.
This may occur when a SoundFont-compatible MIDI file is loaded or played.
Cause: There is insufficient memory allocated to SoundFonts.
