I have a Dell 4550 computer with Windows XP home and 512 Ram. It’s been one big pain in the butt. Even the Lexmark X85 Dell sent wasn’t compatible with it and had to go back. I’ve done songs for 8 years using an old Mac computer and a 4 track recorder but with this new computer I feel like a newbie. The OEM Soundblaster sound card that came with the computer doesn’t load Soundfonts, so I ordered an Audigy from Creative that should be here this week. For now I tried installing an M-Audio 2496 that I wasn’t able to get to work the first time I tried it when the computer was new. I know the card is good. The first time it only worked partially. One of the speakers and the sub-woofer worked but the other speaker had almost no sound coming from it. So now 4 ½ months later I try it again and it doesn’t work at all. At first I couldn’t even get the computer to recognize that the card was there. I got it to install, but now I get the message: “This Device Could Not Start (Code 10). The girl from Dell tech support was no help and couldn’t even tell me what Code 10 means. And a guy there told me a few days ago that the card was incompatible and that the new Soundblaster I ordered from Creative would also be incompatible. He told me I should order it from Dell. I’m pissed off at Dell and I don’t think they know what their talking about half the time. I do not want to give them any more business. Is there any way to get this M-Audio 2496 to work? Do any of you people make your music on a regular commercial type computer like Dell or Gateway? Do you encounter problems like this?
