Windows Vista
In general, we recommend first setting the sample rate in your audio application, then
choosing the same rate in the Console under the “Settings” tab and clicking on the
“Locked” button to lock it in. Next:
1. Go
Start > Control Panel
.
2. Double-click on “Sound.”
3. Click on the Playback tab, then click on Analog Out, 2 – Gibson RIP, then click on
Set Default. RIP is now the default for system sounds and applications such as
Windows Media Player. (You can also select a RIP guitar input—pickups, piezo,
or all hex strings—for the Sound Recording option.)
4. Click on Sounds and for Sound Scheme, select “No Sounds.” While this isn’t
essential, Windows system sounds like beeps and such tend to be loud and
distracting when played through RIP.
If RIP is open (it doesn’t need to be), you can control the output level with the RIP
Console’s Playback or Analog output controls, Otherwise, use the standard Windows
Vista volume control—click on the Speaker icon in the Taskbar, and adjust the slider. To
adjust other sound sources, while the volume control is open, click on Mixer.
If both the RIP console and Vista volume controls are open, the level controls work in
tandem; for example, lower the RIP Playback controls, and the Windows volume control
changes along with them.
Note: If you open the application and begin playback, the RIP console will automatically
switch to the correct Core Audio sample rate.
