Subject: audiowerk prroblem with Win2000
Original Message 1/13 16-Jul-04 @ 09:09 AM - audiowerk prroblem with Win2000
I've tried looking all over the net for help with this without success so far, was wondering if anyone here had experienced similar problems or could offer a suggestion...
I've just changed my PC from a P3 (win98) to a P4 with Win2k. I have an Audiowerk2 that I've pulled out of the P3 (where it worked fine) and put it in the P4. It detected ok, and I used the latest drivers from the emagic website to update it.. and it now shows in Device Manager as installed properly... but it doesn't show up as an audio device in any apps, eg. Sounds & Multimedia under Control Panel or in Cool Edit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

With my old Win98 setup I had a SB AWE64 & the Audiowerk2 both working together ok. I could use 98 on this P4 I guess but I was keen to move to win2k because the 98 setup was a bit flakey at times... when something crashed the whole PC would need a reboot.
I could try XP I guess but I presume I would have the same problem as Win2k.

Just had similar issues moving my motu card around... it will install from any slot, but only certain ones will it actually work and show up as a usable windows driver.
Is your install of XP running ACPI?

According to Control Panel it's in Location 4 (PCI bus 0, device 11, function 0), which sounds about right because I believe there's 7 slots and it's the 4th from the top. So it could be something to do with that really? I can try shifting it, any suggestions on which slot to put it in?
I will also try disabling the onboard sound, which I would prefer not to but will see if it helps. Not sure how but I'll have a go and check back later... thanks for the suggestions.
I installed Logic to see if it recognised it but when I set it to Audiowerk in the Peferences it said initialising Audiowerk then crashed out

Should I try it in a different PCI slot? Any suggestion on which one?

I've now tried it in slots 1 through 5 and no luck... same thing happens each time, it recognises the hardware is there, driver installs fine, shows up in Device Manager as all OK, but doesn't appear under Sounds & Multimedia. Logic doesn't recognise it either.
Could it be this motherboard just doesn't like it? I could try re-installing Windows from scratch again I guess. I wonder if I put Win98 on this machine if it would work. Would XP likely give me the same problem?
