Sonar - launching soundcard panel

[mbouteneff]

I recently got a Delta 1010LT sound card and Sonar, both of which are ASIO compatable. I just enabled the ASIO drivers in Sonar. The sound card manual suggests launching the soundcard control panel through Sonar rather than directly through the computer's control panel to take advantage of the ASIO drivers. Does anyone know where you do this?

Thanks!

If you select ASIO in Sonar, it will automatically use the Delta's ASIO drivers.

I have the Delta 1010. My recollection is that if you choose Wave Profiler in Options > Audio it would launch the Delta Control Panel. However, the Delta control panel would not let you make adjustments while Sonar was open (or if anything else was accessing the card).

Maybe the LT works differently.

However, you shouldn't need to access it through Sonar unless you want to make latency adjustments. If your latency is OK, I wouldn't worry about. If it's not OK, I would simply launch the Delta Control Panel by itself and adjust the latency setting. I don't see why that wouldn't work.

My memory wasn't too bad. I just checked it out. When you change over to ASIO drivers and exit and re-enter Sonar, the Wave Profiler button changes to an ASIO Panel button instead (same button, new name). Clicking on that should launch the Delta Control panel.

However, as I mentioned, if you try and adjust anything this way, the Delta will give you an error message saying the sound card is in use and you can't make any adjustments. Of course it's in use, you just launched it from Sonar.

Therefore it's puzzling why your manual would say to launch it from within Sonar - unless, as I said, the 1010LT works differently.

Thanks Dachay 2nd Tenor!

The 1010LT was only a little different. Under Options > Audio in the General tab there was an "ASIO Panel" button. (duh)

Thanks for the pointer.

Dachay, what version of driver you installed? I believe version 5.10.00.0027 won't give you such warning, and you can change setting on the Delta panel while Sonar still run. There's also check box below latency pull down menu (Hardware settings tab) which lets you select whether you want to enable or disable control of the monitor mixer and patchbay/router by audio application...

Of course! That's what it means!

I'm still using the last MME drivers that M-Audio released. That's because I am still running Windows ME, and I never could get the WDM drivers to work right under Win ME. However, since I don't really do anything that requires low latency, the MME drivers have been fine for me.

Of course! That's what it means!

Someone once asked me what it meant right around the time I first joined this BBS. No one's ever asked since. However, lately I seem to be singing more and more 1st tenor parts (e.g., BPOM), so I might need to change my name.

Funny, I read mbouteneff's post and didn't even notice he had spelled it out. Probably because that's the way I read it normally.
