I'm sure somebody has posted info about this somewhere here but I can't seem to find it w/Search...I also posted this over at cakewalk.com.
Not sure if this is more of a question for the Computer Recording forum...
After having numerous problems w/my WinXP PC, I just had a master programmer check it out. He spent 3 hours diagnosing, cleaning, defragging & optimizing XP. When I tried to playback some CW files to test it, I could hear the MIDI tracks playing as usual thru the keyboard but can not hear any audio. There are plenty audio tracks in the files, they are not muted, & it appears to be playing. I have a Tascam US-122 as the MIDI/audio interface which is configured correctly in Options/audio & Global as well as in Windows Hardware Devices. The driver is 3.2.4.0, which I think is the latest one. (Prior to the tune-up, CW was crashing constantly with both drivers available from Tascam.)Everything is connected properly as far as cables, etc. The junky onboard sound card is disabled. Before this major tune-up of the OS this was not a problem. Is there some little tweak or setting somewhere that we have missed, that we need to change or enable so I can hear the audio? (I haven't even tried recording with it since the tune-up yet.)
The machine had extensive bugs & mixups all thru the OS, which were fixed today. Previously I had done the optimization tweaks on the musicxp.net website, not really understanding many of them, & I wonder if something was misplaced or turned off inadvertently?
Any insights will be appreciated!
