Help Needed....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey everyone, i couldnt find the right section for this, but i thought this was the closest section, so sorry if its in the wrong forum.

so i got a little set up at home, but im experiencing problems.

heres my equip:

-SE Condenser Mic
-E-MU 1212M Soundcard
-Behringer Preamp VX2496
-Tascam US-122

First problem...

(not sure if its related to any of the above equip but...) ill click on a track...an mp3, wav... whatever, thats saved to my harddrive, so im just trying to click on a song or something and listen to it, but nothing comes out of my speakers? in cool edit pro... sound comes out, in fruity loops... sound comes out... but something trying to play in windows media player straight from the harddrive wont work... but it used to.

Second problem...

sound comes out of the multitrack view on cool edit pro... but in single view no sound comes out.

Third problem...

i try recording with the mic, but its not picking up anything.

-----------------------

all these problems started when i got the soundcard...

heres how my set up, is set up:

Mic > Preamp > Tascam > Soundcard

and ive tried it this way too: Mic > Preamp > Soundcard (cutting out the tascam) but it doesnt work.

ive gone through settings and clicked it so that its on the soundcard, ive tried every possible thing i can think of.

can anyone help?

thanks in advance.

1. In order to listen to an audio file that's being played back on your computer in a program other than your recording software, you need to go in to Sounds/Audio in your control panel and make sure your external soundcard is selected as the playback hardware. Right now I'd bet that it's your internal soundcard, and you must not have speakers hooked up to your internal soundcard.

2. ???

3. You have the mic plugged in with a working cable right? Is phantom power cut on that channel to power the mic? The condenser needs phantom power and your soundcard should have a button that provides phantom power to the mic inputs.

You need to use either the US122 or the 1212. Having both hooked up together is probably what's causing you problems
