0202 USB 2.0 Owner’s Manual 29
Troubleshooting
Can’t hear Windows Media Player in Windows
If you have, or ever have had, another audio device installed in your PC, you may
have to set the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 as the “Default Audio Device”.
1. Open the Control Panel , then select Sounds and Audio Devices.
2. Click the Audio tab and select the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 as the Default device
under Sound Playback .
3. Click the Volume button under Sound Playback and turn up Wave volume .
You cannot record or monitor ASIO and WAVE at the same time. The first audio
application you open controls the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0.
Lost Communication
Should you lose communication between your E-MU 0202 and an audio appli-
cation (Ableton Live, Cubase, Sonar, etc.), the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 drivers may
need to be re-selected in your application.
1. Go to your application's I/O settings, de-select the
E-MU
0202
USB 2.0
for
both input and output.
2. Apply these changes and exit the dialog.
3. Re-enter the application's preference settings and re-select the
E-MU 0202 USB
2.0 drivers. If this doesn’t work, the application may need to be restarted.
Ground Loops
In digital audio devices and computers, audio ground loops may appear as pitched
tones, digital hash in the background, as well as the familiar 60 cycle hum.
Ground loops are caused by a difference in ground potential between two pieces of
equipment. Computer audio devices are particularly susceptible to ground loops
because most computers were not designed with high quality audio in mind.
The E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 contains built-in “ground lift” switches for both analog
inputs in order to safely break the loop if a ground loop occurs in your setup.
The ground-lift switches are located on the bottom of the unit, close to the rear
panel. The input ground is lifted when the A or B slide switch is closest to the GND
LIFT label.
Pops & Crackles
Pops and crackling noises in the audio are most often caused by having the ASIO
Buffer Size set too low. Adding audio tracks and VST plug-ins increases the load on
your computer’s CPU. If your computer cannot keep up with all the tasks you are
asking it to perform, pops and crackles may occur. In effect, increasing the ASIO
buffer gives your computer “more time” to complete its assigned tasks. The
hardware Direct Monitor feature of the 0202 USB 2.0 allows you to increase the
ASIO Buffer setting without the associated latency problems during recording and
overdubbing.
USB hubs can create problems with digital audio and should be avoided whenever
possible.
