How to check the installation
Once the driver and the cards have been installed according to the procedure
described in this manual, you can verify that the card is properly set up and
works fine as follows:
•
The card is visible under the DirectSound interface:
Menu
<Start>, <Settings>, <Control panel>, <Sound and
Multimedia>, tab “Audio”, Default device (Playback device, Recording
device). Pull-down menus allow for the card's channel selection (e.g.
“VPCX1222HR 1+2 (WDM)” for the card's first stereo channel). The card
can be used with any DirectSound compliant application (see following
pages).
•
The card is also visible through the np interface: Go to <Start>
<Programs> <Digigram> and select <Digigram Control Center>.
•
In the “Digigram drivers” window, select the General
Information tab. In the Modules Information window you can see
the HR Runtime modules that have been installed, and their
versions.
•
In the “Digigram drivers” window, select the Diagnostics tab.
You should see here the icons of the cards you have installed.
If the card you have installed is listed:
•
Right click on the icon of the card.
•
Select Diagnostics, and Play sine. This plays in loop a sine wave
signal on the outputs of the card.
You can also select Play file to play in loop a file of your choice
(PCM). If the playback is accurate, the card is correctly installed and
works.
•
To stop the playback, right click on the card icon, and select Stop
Activities.
•
If the “Wave (MME)...”option has been checked during installation, go to
Menu
<Start>,
<Settings>,
<Control panel>,
<Sound and
Multimedia>, tab Audio, <Default device> (Playback device, Recording
device). The card's channels can be selected (e.g. PCX1222HR 1+2 for
the card’s first stereo channel). The card can be used with any Wave
compliant application.
•
If the ASIO option has been selected during installation, the card is
visible through any ASIO compliant application.
If the card is not displayed:
•
Make sure that during the HR Runtime installation the “Driver for the
HR boards” has been selected in the “Select components” window.
•
Make sure that the card is correctly inserted in the PCI slot, and screwed
on the PC chassis.
•
if necessary, uninstall HR Runtime package as described in this manual,
and re-install it.
