I'm confused! I know that I need a mono cable with only ONE 1/4" male. But I'm not sure if I need it to end in ONE or TWO RCA males. Does it matter? If I get one with TWO RCA males, do I plug them both into their respective inputs on the soundcard? Dumb questions, but I want to get this...

So what kind of cable would you recommend? A 1/4" mono that turns into two RCA cables, or into one? The adapter I was using was simply a 1/4" female to single RCA male, and obviously isn't working! Thanks for everyone's help...

I think I may have finally found the culprit causing my input problem! And it's real simple: the Planet Waves adapter I bought isn't working! I found this out by watching the meters as I plugged various RCA cables into the card. For a slight moment the meter would move, which tells me that...

Yeah, I got to thinking about when I swapped out the sound cards. I took out a Creative Labs 16-bit and put in the Audiophile 2496. I didn't uninstall anything. Is there anything pertaining to the Creative Labs card that has to uninstalled?

I do watch the Monitor Mixer's meters when trying to get a signal. That's my whole problem: they're not moving! I'm getting no input whatsoever. I've tried the Windows Sound Recorder test and it isn't getting any signal either. What could this mean? Everything (CakeWalk and Windows) points...

What I'm using: CakeWalk Home Studio 2002, Windows XP Sound Chain: SM-57 mic>ART OPL mic preamp>Audiophile analog input I'm using a stereo Planet Waves adapter that allows me to plug the 1/4" guitar cable into one of the RCA analog inputs on the soundcard. So far I haven't gotten any input...

Calling all Audiophile 2496 users: I've been e-mailing with M-Audio's Tech Support and still have not come up with a solution as to why I'm not getting any input for recording into the Audiophile 2496. Playback is fine, I'm just not getting anything on meters for recording. Will anyone that...

Here's all my answers to your questions: A couple of ideas: 1. Are your cables and connectors good?- Yes. I'm using a 1/4" female to RCA male adapter to plug a regular guitar cable into the soundcard. I'm going from the 1/4" output of the mic preamp. It's worked in the past on my old...

OK, I set everything up as DonF suggested and still no input anywhere. No movement of the meters, nothing. I do get movement of the Audiophile's meters when playing back a CD or something, but absolutely nothing on input. Anymore ideas? Could it be a setting under my computer's Control...

I'm going to try those settings you gave me tonight. I haven't seen any movement of the Audiophile's meters with anything I've tried previously. Just for a note, my sound chain is real simple: Shure SM-57 in front of amp>ART mic tube preamp>Audiophile soundcard I'll let you know if my...

I'm not getting any input into my new Audiophile 2496! I'm sure I have something set up wrong somewhere, but I'm not sure what. Here are my options within Cakewalk: Record Wave Device: 1. Multichannel 1/2 2. " " 3/4 3. " " 5/6 4. 1/2 5. S/PDIF 6. Mon...

What exactly does the MB buffer do? I'm noticing that the prices jump substantially from the 2MB to the 8MB buffer sizes.

Well, I spent the money on a 24-bit soundcard, so I might as well put everything on 24-bit. I definitely need to get upgrades for my computer though. Can anyone recommend what I should get in the way of hard drives and memory? I only have one hard drive, and 128MB of memory at the moment...

When using a 24-bit soundcard such as the Audiophile 2496, should the Audio Driver Bit Depth and File Bit Depth both be set to 24-bit? Having these on 16-bit would defeat the purpose of having a 24-bit soundcard, right?

OK, thanks. My experience with the Audiophile is really turning out to be very frustrating. I was hoping for a simple soundcard swap. The Audiophile is supposed to be one of the best 24-bit cards out there, and I can't even install the damn thing. XP won't recognize it when I go through the...

Basslord1124 mentioned running the Audiophile to the motherboard, too. I'll look into that option. I am using XP so I'll see what I can find out about that CD playback feature. If I end up using both soundcards, is it safe to run one set of speakers to one soundcard, and another set to the...

Leaving the old card in and putting the Audiophile in the next emptly slot is exactly what I was considering doing last night, but I was worried whether this would affect performance in any way. (Playback or Recording) I was hoping for 24 bit throughout my entire system, but I guess that's not...

I'm sold. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. What's a good way to run backups then? A friend told me tape backup is a real reliable option.

I thought installing my new Audiophile 2496 soundcard was going to be a simple task of just pulling the old Creative Labs 16bit out, and putting in the new Audiophile, but... There are two wires running from the side of the Creative Labs soundcard. One is CD In that goes to the CD Rom, the...

Cool. I installed it, and you're right. It does look pretty simple and to the point. I don't like the looks of the Nero Media Player compared to something MusicMatch or Windows Media Player. The InCD program sounds like a cool idea. I'll have to mess with it some more to figure out what all...
