Subject: [ddots-l] Hardware / Soundcard problem pls. help!
Hello all together,
I have an very technical problem here. I think that may be noone can help
me here but because I think that everyone who can not order an accessible
dancingdots workstation for what ever reson may run into that same
problem. That's why I post this and hopefuly to get an solution.
The wole problem is about adding an sekend soundcard to the system I mean
an highend soundcard for Music produktion for Sonar.
Please also see an description of Hardware used in my system below.
I have 2 Soundcards here that I need to use. The lo end card is an
"Realtek AC.97 Audio"onboard soundcard. The 2th is an Emu 18 20 M. Both
cards have been installed by my dealer but onestly I do not think if he
has checked the highend card if it works proberly. So I got the system;
installed Jaws and in the controlpanel there is only showing the Realtek
soundcard and not the Emu 18 20 M.
What I found out after talking with a lot support people is that Windows
is not supporting multiply Soundcards. But I know that there must be a way
because the Dancingdots systems have 2. I need this 2 cards because one
for Jaws talking output and the other for the music thinks. So the first
question is how that works that I can have this 2 cards working?
Do I need an other highend soundcard as the Emu?
By talking to a few support people here in Germany I also found out that
the Onboard soundcard can not run with an 2th sound card. I do not know if
this is true but it has given me an other idear here: What if I disable
the Onboard sound in the Bios and after that install the Emu card again
and for the Jaws talking I connect an USB-head set that I have here. That
may be the solution I think. What do you all think and know about such
solutions and problems? I think everyone runs into that same problem
because we all need an 2th sound card for the Jaws talking.

this then an technical atvice please:-)
