Changes to the settings should not be made during record or playback, as it might come to
disturbances, in some cases even to a crash. Please be aware that several programs won't stop
playback or record (technically do not close the device) even in Stop mode. Thus changing the
settings might not have any immediate effect. In general we recommend - if available - to disable
the option 'Audio active in background', and to enable 'Close Audio Device on Stop' or similar.
9.2 Windows 95
™
DIGI32 PRO
proves a fine example of integrating with Windows 95
™
's device manager. But
accessing the
DIGI32
inside the Device Manager is more complicated as it should be. To
shorten the laborious way to the registercard Settings a link is copied to the desktop
(
C:\Windows\ Desktop)
, its icon to
C:\Windows\
. Using the shortcut Ctrl-Num2 (the number 2 on
the number block) or a double click on the board lets you jump straight to the Device Manager.
From there it's only a few clicks to 'Settings'. If you need continous access to 'Settings', simply
don't close it. With Ctrl-2 'Settings' gets into the foreground at any time.
9.3 Windows NT
™
The official way to Settings in Windows NT
™
isn't easier as with Windows 95
™
. Because of this
the RME Driver CD comes with an icon and two programs in the directory
\tools
. Please copy
'digi32.ico' and 'digiconf.exe' in your Windows directory (propably
C:\NT
). Next make a link to
'digiconf.exe' using the icon and the shortcut Ctrl-Num2 (the number 2 on the number block).
Using the shortcut Ctrl-Num2 or a double click on the board lets you jump straight to Settings. If
the program 'digitray.exe' is started with a double click another
DIGI32
icon will show up in
the systray of the taskbar. A click with the left mouse button will again open the Settings dialog,
the right mouse button ends this program. Tip: Copy 'digitray.exe' into the StartUp folder, so that
Settings is always in reach.

Use the Sound control panel, Sound Out, to activate
DIGI32 PRO
as playback device, and
set up the desired sample frequency for playback.
The Soundmanager will activate a software sample rate converter when the sample rate set up
in Sound Out does not meet the one of the played back file. For highest quality the sample rate
of the card has to be identical with that of the played back file!

The Windows 95

driver is able to communicate simultaneously with all the cards known
to the system. The driver marks them with different numbers after the device's name, like
‘DIGI32 PRO In (1)’.
