Playback works but recording doesn´t:
•
Check that a valid input signal is at hand. In this case the Error LED on the hardware extin-
guishes, and the actual sample frequency is shown under 'Settings'.
•
If you are sure that a valid signal is being sent but the LED is still red, then check the chosen
input.
•
Check that the
DIGI32 PRO
is set as recording device under the software being used.
•
Check that the setting of the sample frequency in the software (recording properties or simi-
lar) relates to the adjacent signal.
The recording or the playback is disturbed by crackling:
•
Increase the quantity and size of the buffers in the software being used.
•
Use a different cable (coaxial or optical) to cross-check them for defects.
The computer hangs after the first access on the DIGI32 PRO:
•
If you are using a graphics board with S-3 chip 968 then a memory allocation error might be
the reason. Please change the used memory area with 'Resources', so that it is adressed
underneath
the memory area of the graphics board (for example D0000000 - D0FFFFFF).
More informations on this subject can be found in the document 'install.htm', located in the

13. Installation Problems with older PC
Older models without Plug & Play compati-
ble mainboards often present some pro-
blems. In such cases the configuration of
the IRQ in the BIOS and the configuration of
the memory area in Windows must be done
by hand. In the Device Manager (Settings
/Control Panel/System) the
DIGI32
PRO
usually appears in the category 'So-
und, video and game controllers’.
A double click on the
DIGI32 PRO
calls up the properties dialog, and after se-
lecting 'Resources' the interrupt and memo-
ry area shows up. After disabling 'Use au-
tomatic settings' the memory area can be
changed, the bottom part of the dialog box
showing whether a conflict with another
device will result out of the newly selected
value. The IRQs cannot be changed becau-
se Windows 95
™
strictly uses the settings
from the mainboard´s BIOS.
