Audigy 4 Pro - No Midi in Audio Mixd

I have an Audigy 4 Pro, which came with Cubase LE.
In my recordings, I have midi tracks which have to be turned to Audio before the tracks can be added to the Audio mixdown. Cubase only makes one reference to this in the help files which says you must connect the output to the input on the sound card - which I suppose means that I would have to use a Y cable to route back to my mixer unless I wanted to unhook some of my speakers? Sounds like a hassle.
Or is there some way to do this in software with Audio HQ? Use "What you hear setting" perhaps?
I've looked at length through the help files and can't find any direct reference to this.
It's a bit frustrating. Right now what I'm doing is saving the midi tracks, and then using ITUNES to convert them to Audio files, which is also a hassle.
Anybody else run into this?
Any suggestions appreciated - VelvetElvis

Well I just got an email back from Creative Support and they reccomend I use Windows Media PLayer (or any other of the programs that do work) instead if it works 00%. I seriously hope they update the Entertainment Centre to actually work, I feel I am losing value of my Pro product very quickly as the remote now only has the function of changing the volume, not very satisfactory.
I also feel it's rather ridiculous that they recommend I use another program than Creative's, it's a bit of a cop out, and they should really work on fixing the program soon.
If the remote control could control Windows Media Player 0 when WMP0 is in fullscreen then that would be great, or if the remote control could be changed to be like a media keyboard in that it controls any media application rather than just controls that are visible it would be fantastic. Also if the power button could be altered to start an application then that would be great.
Anyway creative, update the entertainment centre to fix this issue please!Message Edited by CrimsonCleaver on 04-03-20062:6 PM

Audio latency problem with VST, SONAR and Audigy 4 PRO

Hello all,
I have a slight problem with audio performance on my computer and I can't isolate what is wrong. I am using Cakewalk SONAR 4 studio edition, and a recently purchased Audigy 4 Pro soundcard. ( I know it's not quite professional grade, but it works well for me) I recently bought some string instruments from the Vienna Symphonic Library. So far, I love the sound of these "virtual instruments" if you will. The problem comes when I try to record them. I get stuttering and dropouts when I try to record the track in Sonar. I've tried the WDM drivers in 16 and 24 bit modes and the ASIO drivers (which apparently only support 16 bit!?) I know Creative has mentioned that these cards can record easily at 24/96 which is what I'd like if possible. Vienna instruments come in a 24 bit format. Is there something I'm doing wrong or do I need to seriously consider a different soundcard? I use Sonar to bring in the Vienna instruments as a VST. I also apply a reverb on it. When I just play this stuff on my MIDI keyboard, it all sounds great and keeps up. The moment I go to record though, I get dropouts after about 15 seconds or so. Also, is there no way to get ASIO 24 bit support for creative's consumer level cards? I'd be happy with the WDM's personally if those would work. I've looked into the KX project as well but haven't had a chance to try their drivers yet. On a different note, what are the significant differences between ASIO and WDM if any at all? (aside from supported bit rates) My current computer setup is quite powerful and I don't use much CPU power at all so I don't think it's my setup. Intel E6700 (2.67Ghz) Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR2-800, 320GB Seagate SATA in RAID 1, Nvidia 7600GT, and Creative Audigy 4 Pro. Any help, or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Matthew

Audigy 4 Pro should support 24-bit/96 kHz w/ ASIO --> have you selected those I/O drivers in Sonar audio settings (Options-Audio-Drivers -tab). ! You need to unselect all I/O drivers first to get those 24/96 drivers selectable)?
Dropouts comes from various sources. Have you checked if the read/write caching is set properly (Sonar, try different settings)?
Stuttering may come from shared IRQ/resources and PCI Latency settings.
If your graphics card is not PCIe then, make this registry tweak
Run regedit and search the key named as DisableProgPCILatency
- set all 'DisableProgPCILatency' key values to 1 (HEX or DEC) (1 = disabled, 0 = enabled)
- boot to BIOS settings and find the "PCI latency timer" option --> set its value to 32 or 64 (this is global PCI latency setting)
- reboot
and check the IRQ situation. If there are IRQ shares between Audigy and other devices/controllers, try to get those fixed by disabling unneeded controllers/devices or by moving the Audigy into another PCI slot (PCI slots #3 and #4 are normally not shared).
Couple meaninful differences between WDM/KS and ASIO are;
- you can't get latency lower than 10 ms w/ WDM/KS (well, you can in Sonar by manually editing those buffer values but, the result is not good when you go under 10 ms buffer values (buffersize / samplerate * 1000 = latency in ms --> 512/96000*1000=5.33ms)
and
- you can record from one stereo (you can split this to two mono) source at a time w/ WDM (recording source is set in CT Surround Mixer (or windows recording controls))
- ASIO supports (Audigy serie) locked 'resolutions' only - 16/48 or 24/96
Also, tweak your system for music - http://www.musicxp.net/
Some information on CT ASIO -

Need help in multitrack recording with Audigy 4 pro

Hi there,?I have an audigy 4 pro soundplaster caed and use it with Cubase LE. I haven't figured out yet how to record the several tracks onto seperate?channels simultaneously. All inputs of the soundcard work and I know how to assign the channels to the tracks in cubase. But in the end the same is coming out of all... I have figured out that in the Audigy mixing console you need to select the input source first, but I only can select one. If I select 'what you hear' I can use all - but not seperated. Someone knows how to deal with it'sAny help hugely appreciated

Hi,
wow, I got a big step further with this, thanks.
Yes, after pulling the window down ai discovered many moretracks. I also managed to get a signal in cubase by pressing the monitor item. And I could remap inputs. I got my input 3 set up fine. It's in the devie dislaplyed as L and R but witchever I choose works.
But for my second track it only lets my choose the other otpion of the same input (if trach one is Line 3L its has to be Line 3R for the other input. I did remap the track to to use line in but no signal and in the windows control mixer I still can only select one recording source but it doesn't correspondent with cubase, cubase records line in 3 whichever thing is ticked in the windows mixer.
Line in does go into my soundcards as I can hear it through the speakers but no further.
I uploaded the manual onto my own webspace, seemed the simplest thing: http://www.magicviolin.co.uk/Cubase%20LE%20manual.pdf
Thanks so much again, I actually feel slightly positi've now that I might it even get working...
The Manual cleared a lot. LE seem to have a bit stripped settings compared to SX, but the logic seem to be the same (maybe LE is ~ SE/SX .0).
As you have Audigy 4 Pro there, you should see quite many input channels listed on "VST Inputs" -panel. The bad thing seems to be, you have no names for inputs but they're listed as PCI REC & 2, PCI REC 2 & 3, etc. mono pairs. Now you need to examine which one is which (i.e. does PCI REC & 2 mean Audigy's Line-In L/R, PCI REC 3 & 4 as LineIn 2 L/R, etc.). See below.
NOTE: Inputs being as pairs of L/R channels means you can record to 2 tracks using one stereo input w/ mono connections (i.e. guitar through LineIn L and Bass through LineIn R). Tracks need to be set as mono. When you have one stereo connection or track set to stereo, you get the same signal from LineIn L and R to those tracks you have set the LineIn L or R as input source.
CT Surround Mixer settings:
- open those source channels you're using
- if you use any Creative ASIO driver the .rec source selector has no effect
Project settings:
With any Creative ASIO driver you need to set (Project properties)
- bit-depth (record format) to 6-bit (or 24-bit if using "ASIO 24/96 driver") and
- samplerate to 48000 Hz (or to 96 kHz when using the "ASIO 24/96 driver")
See - Activating and selecting VST Inputs - Manual p.2-25 ->:
- you need to know which inputs are included to AnalogMix() --> you see these listed on Creative Surround Mixer --> rec. source selector.
- give those inputs (label) the same name they appear on Creative Surround Mixer (i.e. Auxiliary, Line-In, Microphone, etc.)
--> you need to do these settings once if you save the (empty) project as a template
See - Mixer p. 7.37 (Audio channel strips)-->:
- here you can select the Input -channels (remember, which ones are in same group "AnalogMix ()" because they uses the same signal path and therefore gets recorded to all tracks having this source selected)
Hope you get things cleared, and remember save a well functioning project as Template (you can make templates with various settings (like one for 6/48 w/ audio tracks, other for 24/96 w/ audio tracks, and next for 6/48 w/ audio and MIDI tracks, etc.).
If you need 'some' VST effects/instruments for your recordings, KVR is best place to start from.

Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 freezes ,hang , not respond

HI all!
Im a owner of Macbook Pro 13 MID 2010 and mine has same problems
System freeze ,mouse blocked,keyboard light off,keyboard blocked,only power off by button.
It happens randomly with aplications or only in finder ,or once was at start up after login ...
But i can work 3 days or more without problems,so for technical service will be difficult to see it.
Im a professional musician and i make my performances for a hundred of people with a laptop so i cant risk a set with this laptop no more...
Y tried to reinstall system,same problems...
I think is a hardware in 13 ,15 and 17 macbook pro 2010.
I will not accept a hard drive repair,i will request a new unit.
It only has 2 months......And as my job depends of a laptop, i need a new one.
Now im again working with my old Powerbook G4 (2002) and still goes perfect !!!!
BTW: check this link,apple is returning new unots tosome users with same problems
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/05/continued-macbook-pro-mid-2010-beach-ballsfreeze s-apple-replacing-testing-units/
By the way
It happens with 10.6.3 and 10 6.4
Hardware test OK!!
And just system installed with no aplications...
I only use Traktor NAtive instrumentes for my performances....all original software.
Freezes were with traktor and without it on system....
External hard druve boot tested and also freezes.
Repair permissions and the same problem.....
APPLE,PLEASE, YOU CAN DISCOUNT TO ME A MONTH OF USE ,BUT I DONT WANT THIS UNIT FOR SURE.

Hi,
I've been having the same problem. I'm a Dj, like a lot of people I use Traktor Scratch Pro. I've been using a mac for mixing for around, 2 years now, never had a problem. Since I updated to leopard snow, I've been experiencing the exact same problems described in this post,the screen freezes, sudden dropouts, when using Traktor software exact same thing, audio dropouts, screen freezes when loading track, or searching library.
I've been doing a LOT of researching, and I'm almost sure the problem is Leopard Snow, I don't know why but I'm almost certain. I erased mi HD, thinking this would solve the problem, loaded snow leopard again... EXACT same problem occured.
I tried all the suggestions in this link, none of them worked for me... http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/mac-os-x-10-6-4-troubleshooting-guide/
So, right now I'm downloading an older version of MAC OS 10.5.5, I will format (again) my HD and install this older version.
I will post again if this solved the issue, hope this helps.
Apple URGENTLY needs a new update (10.6.5) there are a lot of other people like us, that are depending in a lap top (mac) to perform to a lot of people, you can check the forums in www.native-instruments.com, and see this issue is hapening to many of us.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

Audigy 4 Pro microphone problems in Win 7 64-bit

Hi there,
Since I put my Audigy 4 Pro card into my newer PC with Win 7 64-bit the microphone only seems to work when it wants to, or works but sounds messed up.
I've waited a while before posting about this because I thought the newer drivers would sort out the problem, but it remains the same.
The card/microphone works without a problem if I put it in a PC with Win XP.
Sometimes the microphone will not pick up any sound at all. Other times it will work, but only for? game, say Heroes of Newerth. Then in Windows using teamspeak, people describe the sound like I'm talking through a fan. Tried using the in-game VOIP but I get the same result.
After a restart or just some random day, people in Heroes of Newerth would discribe the VOIP from my side as if I was talking under water(or through a fan), but then it would work fine for teamspeak or Bad Company 2 or any other game. I used these 2 games as an example since its what I'm playing mostly at the moment.
There doesnt seem to be any consistancy with the problem.
I have recently removed the sound card from my PC and now forced to use the onboard sound that reminds me of the sound of a clockradio.
My PC specs are:
Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz E8400
8GB RAM
4 x WD Raptor HDD Stripe RAID
ATi Radeon 4870 52MB
Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro?(model number shown?is SB0290)
Using?a Sennheiser PC350 Headset.
What I have tried my side so far:
Tried latest and older drivers for Win 7 64-bit
Reinstalled Windows 7 several times with different drivers.
Tried disabling all devices except for line/mic
Tried other input devices.
Tried with different audio and sound codecs, tried without any.
Might have been or 2 other things I tried I cannot think of now.
Is there anyone that experienced similar problems and got it fixed? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bill,
Can you be more specific about which steps were not recorded?
There some things that will not be recorded. The release notes list some known issues.
Known Issues:
Tutorial Builder can only capture actions in Photoshop that are recorded by the ScriptListener plug-in. While this includes most of Photoshop's functionality, some features/tools are not recorded. In particular, brushing actions are not captured. We hope to address this in future releases of Tutorial Builder.
Some of the the actions that Tutorial Builder captures are not yet instrumented to produce detailed text instructions in the final tutorial. For such actions, the generated tutorial will include a step that says "The (action name) is not yet supported by Tutorial Builder," and the tutorial author will have to edit the HTML to provide more descriptive text. Note that the "Show me in Photoshop" link is still generated for such actions.
Some Photoshop actions allow the user to specify a set of parameters in multiple ways, but Tutorial Builder cannot detect how the user specified those settings during the recorded demonstration. Thus, the text in the generated tutorial may not describe exactly what was demonstrated. For example, in the Image > Adjustments > Levels tool dialog box, you can update the parameters using three different eye droppers. Since Tutorial Builder does not know which (if any) of these eye droppers were used, the text for a Levels adjustment does not describe exactly how the settings are specified. Again, the tutorial author can simply edit the HTML to provide a more accurate description.
Thanks!

AUDIGY 4 PRO PROBLEM WITH I/O

NEW MEMBER Just purchased a AUDIGY 4 PRO sound card, card works GREAT, however the external I/O hub which is connected via a multiconductor cable from the sound card, appears to be
DEAD, no LED indicator light come on;, when the headset is pluged into the I/O hub, the speaker audio is
NOT mute. The instructions are not TOO clear as to how to test the I/O hub. In summary I think I have a
DEFECTIVE cable or I/O hub! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
SENT 700EST27JAN06

HI DAN Yes, the card is working properly, but the external I/O hub which has various jacks and controls is not showing any signs of life. I think there is some type of LED's to indicate something, but they do NOT light. A multiconductor cable is used to connect from the rear of the sound card to the external I/O hub. I have reconnected this cable several times, so as to reduce the chance of a poor connection, but NO luck. Thanks for your suggestions, best regards **bleep**:smileyindifferent:

Audigy 4 Pro, what cable

Hello, I just purchased your Audigy 4 Pro, I have the Logitech z-5500 5. digital speakers, it has inputs for Optical,Coaxial, as well as 6 channel direct I have an RCA Digital Coaxial cord and a Monster Optical cord, please tell me what cords I need to have digital sound

Sir_Dude,
Yes, the 6 channel direct inputs are analog as far as the output on the sound card goes, but then again so is the sound that comes out of your speakers when you use a digital cable like an optical or coax. Basically you are deciding where you want the conversion from analog to digital to take place, at the sound card or at the speakers. It is most likely that the converters in the sound card are of a higher quality than those on the speakers (this is where the 3dB SNR 24-bit/92 Khz DACs come into play). If you decide that you want to use an optical or coax digital connection there are some limitations you should be aware of:
You are limiting the number of sources that you will get surround in. With a coax or optical connection you will receive surround sound in DVD's and other AC3 encoded signals. Games that use Direct Sound will output in stereo.</LI>
You are removing the ability to playback DVD-Audio disks.</LI>
You will lose CMSS ability.</LI>
If you read the articles in the FAQ at the top of the board they will explain why this is the case and why it is better to use the analog outs on the card for your primary output.

Audigy 4 Pro Low Recording Levels/Master Knob/OSD probl

I purchased a second-hand Audigy 4 Pro. I was not given the software disk but managed to install the latest drivers and get it to play MP3s. I use Adobe Audition to record my old tapes to MP3 and record my attempts at guitar. With my SBLi've I had no problem. I bought the Pro because of the ease of using the breakout box. However I have some quesions about some problems I am having. ) Since I have no Creative software, just Win XP Mixer I don't seem to be able to control the input levels from either the mixer or the box. I have a tape deck using RCA to Line In 3 and an electric and acoustic guitar to Line In 2. The mixer record levels seem to have no effect. I can record but nothing seems to be much more than -20db or so at most. Could this be because Adobe Audition only shows Line In 3 L (ie one channel only)? Could this be because of the much greater dynamic range of the Audigy 4 compared to the SBLi've Value? Do I need additional Creative software and if so what and how to get it please?2) The Master knob on the breakout box just spins round and round without sto
ps.
In other words you can rotate it in either direction ad infinitum. Is this correct? Pushing it in and out does cause the mute to work fine. 3) The help file talks about an On Screen Display associated with the remote. I don't have one when I use the remote, even when I press the Display button. Again, do I need Creative software for the remote? I have a yellow question mark against Multimedia Audio Control in my device list. ThanksMessage Edited by Dunkelmann on 2-23-200607:22 PM

Wow these forums still suck. You have easy questions and no one bothered to help you out. I registered jsut to answer them for you although you probably already figured it all out. . It seems that loudness is optomized by creatives own drivers. What you described was also true back when you could use the e-mu driver hacks before creative bought e-mu. 2. The master knob indeed spins for infinity, obviously with no effect once you get to either end. This sucks becasue i have OCD and constanly spin this thing all kinds of ways. THey should have used the same system as the line-/mic knob. Only God and the engineer will ever know why they did this. 3 Yes. The on screen display is pat of the creative media player app.
So to solve all your problems, you can get the full software package from creative.com under the support menu. Just follow the menu options for your device. The software requires that you have the hardware which you do so the software is free. One more problem you WILL have. The software doesnt install under XP. You have to enter windows safe mode and install it from there otherwise the whole thing freezes up during the start of the install process. Fun times!

Audigy 4 Pro - Remote Contr

Hey,?I've got an Audigy 4 Pro card which i've had from new since 2005.However, i've only ever had the remote control working once, around about the time i first installed the card. Since then it's not worked. I'm currently running the latest drivers and mediasource 5, and still not getting remote control. I've been told i need Creative Media Centre, and i need to enable the remote, but A) i dont know where to get media centre since it's not on the downloads site for the Audigy 4 Pro. and B) i've tried looking for the "remote control" tab in media source, but to absolutely no avail. Can anyone tell me how i'm supposed to get my remote control working again? please?Martin

Entertainment Center is most likely found in the installation CD (X:\Audio\EntCntr\), I don't know if the A4Pro software can be installed individually, but if?you can't, copy the whole CD to the HDD and then copy engine32.cab from X\Audio\Setup\ to the app installation dir. If you no longer have the installation CD, download the ISO from BadBoy's page. http://badboy.hub.io/?You can try RMX automation, its a free program that lets you configure the buttons in the remote: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rmx/?

I've tried to disable it and enable it again but still not working...
Also the SoundFont Bank works weird ...if i use my computer's keyboard it can only play 4 tones in the same time ...and also if i press a key and then another one without letting the first key go ...when i let it go (the first key) the sound STOPS and the second key works like i pressed it again ...why can't i use it like a NORMAL PIANO or MIDI KEYBOARD?
sorry for my bad English!
hope to get some help soon
Thank you!

i got same problem with on screen display after updating Creative Console Launcher

Audigy 4 pro vs. cubase sx sample rate - fight to the de

helloI recently bought an audigy 4 pro soundcard, heard it was probably the best for home recording etc.
I have encountered some problems... I have a load of backing tracks stored in cubase sx 2.2, but now when i open them up it shows the message "sample rate could not be set. This may be due to the sample clock being set to external sync."The files now run at 48kHz instead of 44.kHz, making them jittery, out of time, or chipmonk like. I've read through various messages around similar problems, i've tried everything & nothing has worked...in cubase - project/project set up/sample rate = 48kHz and can not be changed.
in cubase - device set up/vst multitrack/asio driver = creative asio + clock source = internalit only offers 5 asio drivers, asio direct x full duplex, asio mulitmedia, creative asio, SB audigy4 asio 24/96 [a400] and SB audigy4asio [a400] i do not get the offer of asio4all.While i have also tried going through the control panel...controlpanel/audio control panel/device settings/digital out samplerate and setting it to 44.kHz this doesn't seem to change anything. I have no problem with recording new songs at a higher sample rate, but has audigy 4 pro rendered all my old songs useless?please help!!!!!!!!

If you RTFM, you'll find out, Audigy 4 is locked into 6-bit/48kHz and 24-bit/96kHz resolutions when ASIO driver is in use.
I suppose, you still can (if not saved @ 48kHz) load your projects into SX @ 44. kHz, by selecting MME drivers instead of any ASIO.
Perhaps installing Asio4All gets it popped into that list you have there.
There are also tools to convert from 48-->44., but the source has to be as wave format.
Here is one freeware SRC tool @ http://www.voxengo.com/product/r8brain/.

Audigy 4 Pro digital input 16 - 24

I have a Sony MDS-JB920 minidisc deck hooked up to my Audigy 4 Pro through the external box. Works fine.
However, the Minidisc deck allows one to set both the digital input and output to either 6, 20 or 24 bit. As the Audigy 4 Pro is 24 bit, I've set the deck to 24 bit for both in and out. So far no problems. If I watch the settings panel whilst playing a minidisc however, it indicates that the signal coming from the MD deck is 6 bit, although the deck is set to supply 24 bit through the SPDIF out.
When I put the MD deck on rec mode whilst the PC is supplying audio feed, the MD deck loops it back to the SPDIF input of the Audigy and then the software does display 24 bit signal coming from the MD deck.
This is very confusing to me, does anyone have an explanation?

CMSS is an effect used for stereo sounds, to emulate surround sound for them. It has no effect on the DVDs you're playing as you're just outputting the AC3 signal so the speakers can decode it.
If you're using a digital connection, then CMSS will not have any effect for other sound either, you need to connect through multiple analog connections to get that sound. A standard digital connection (coaxial and optical SPDIF) can only pass over either a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded AC3 stream (like on your DVDs). Normal sound like music or games will only be passed over as stereo PCM, so there is no CMSS effect there.
If you can connect your amplifier through several analog connections, then you can use CMSS aswell, otherwise your amplifier might have it's own upmix option like ProLogic.

Please help, what am i doing wrong?

Do you have the 2 pin Digital cable running from the DVDrom dri've to you card or to/from the I/O port?
Use it if you dont.
Go to windows control panel then audio HQ.
Open up device controls and then decoder.
Select SPDIF passthrough. ( ensure you speaker set up can decode it though ) Id say yours do
In control panel open up sound and audio devices then hardware. Select your sound card in the list.
Highlight and go properties then go to properties in the next window.
Open up each device and ensure its set to use audio features on this device.
With powerdvd in the advance options for audio ensure its set to 5. or which ever speaker set you have. Same with audio in windows control panel and Creative Surround Mixer.
What codecs/filters are you running? IF you have installed too many codec packs that can/may cause issues.
For the most part all you need is WMP0 + AC3 filter and or FFDshow. Your DVD player software ( your case Power DVD ) and Xvid or full Divx version, for most common AVI files and the like.
In the advance options in Power DVD is there an Audio option for SPDIF? If yes, select it.
Also ensure its set to use your card and NOT default audio device which is, I think wav - direct sound, in other words not full range, you want full range that your card can do. an excample.
WMP has 2 options for its sond device - open up tools, options, devices then speakers - properties. Here you will see default direct sound and then your card. You should have simular setup system in Power DVD.
If that fails.
Can you uninstall Power DVD and try WinDVD, you may have this with your mainboard?
If you can get WIN DVD ensure its set up to use SPDIF.
Ok, try that for starters and see how you go.
It will be somthing simple Id say
