Delta 1010 issue

I'm so sorry.
Im getting a substantially weaker signal into the 1-4 inputs than I am getting into the 5-8 inputs. Im testing them with the same source. I've eliminated all physical connections from my patchbay into the card. I've scrutinized the Delta mix window, everything is the same. I've looked at all my Windows settings, all is well. I downloaded an updated driver.....nothing. I've tried it with several different recording applications, same thing.


Help?
 
The one thing you didn't mention was whether or not you've been using the same cables for those weak inputs. You seem to have eliminated everything but those?????
 
Doesn't the 1010 have a breakout box?

Do me a favor. Check your serial cable from your breakout box to the pci card. In fact, don't check it. Take it out of both ends, and reseat both ends ensuring that there is a good connection. Use those little thumb screws on there and make sure you have a good connection.

Did this happen recently? Did you move your computer or breakout box lately?
 
One more thing. I noticed that the 1010 (not the 1010L) has an level selector for each input and each output. Did you check those too?

Yeah, I've checked that. I plugged a source into chan1-4 and the same source directly into 5-8.

If you're talking about the mixer window for the card, yeah I've checked that.

Reseated. Same results. The card is brand new.
 
I'm stumped. And while that doesn't take much effort, I think it might be time to talk to the people you bought it from.
 
yeah....it seems like everything was covered..you said the card was new..is the box new? the only other thing i can think of is the redneck repair-all method....smack it

I don't think he was talking about the mixer window.

Directly next to each of the 1/4" inputs and output connections in your breakout box are push button switches that allow you to toggle between consumer line level (-10 dB) and pro line level (+4 dB) signals. Could be that you have the switches for channels 1-4 set in a different position than you do for channels 5-8.
 
dachay2tnr is right.
If you are having the problem you describe it must be the little black push buttons on the back of the breakout box are not all set the same.

Those settings are for all inputs and outputs. There are faders for each one. I've been there and yeah, they're all the same.

I have the card so there's no breakout box and no buttons anywhere I can find.
 
Do you by chance have the delta 1010 LT? The one that has just the bundle of connectors and the first few are XLR (Mic level)connectors?
 
If you don't have a breakout box, you don't have a 1010.
 
Okay, do you have the 1010 or the 1010LT? Cause the 1010 has a breakout box, if you don't then you must have the 1010LT (has a bunch of cables comming out of the PCI card directly).

If you have the 1010LT I don't know what you reseated. Did you reseat the PCI card in it's slot? I guess we need to know for sure if you have the 1010LT or the 1010 (which has a breakout box) otherwise we can go around talking about something and not be talking about the same thing.
 
Now that we know!
1. You said you checked all the Cables - connecting to the inputs.
2. You re-seated the PCI card.
3. The problem is between 1-4 but not between 5-8.
4. You've used the same cables from the same source.

One more question.
1. What slot do you have your PCI card plugged into?
2. What other PCI cards do you have and what slots do you have free?
3. How long has this been going on - since you had the card or recently?
4. Do you see a difference in the MIDI inputs?

OK I lied four more questions! :D
 
No, ask away, the help is greatly appreciated.

I have five slots. The Delta is in the third one. I've got a dsl modem and that's it. I just got the card and I haven't seen it do otherwise. As far as Midi, it has only an in and an out, and I haven't bothered with Midi through it yet.

Okay! Now, we are getting somewhere. I don't know that this is your problem, however try the 2 or 4th slots instead of the 1 or 3rd slots. Why?
I was afraid you'd never ask.
Sometimes (not always, not every systems) slots 1 & 3 share memory with the video card (or integrated video). So while I seriously doubt this is your problem you want to eliminate one issue at a time.
Unpluge it from the 3rd slot and move it up one or down one and boot up. Then try your sound tests and see if that changed anything.
