hiya! i'm new to these here forums - hope y'all can gimme a hand here:
there must be someone out there running a similar system that can tell me EXACTLY how they have their 2496 and Vegas setup to record...
i've got the M-audio Audiophile 2496 (typical cheap-o soundcard) and a custom HP 1.2gHz Athlon PC w/ 256 MB RAM running Win ME (i know these are not the ideal specs or OS) i use Sonic Foundry Vegas Pro for multi-tracking and Sound Forge for editing
last year i did quite a bit of successful home recording with this very same setup. but then my hard drive froze up and died and i had to replace it. then i had to re-install windows and all my hardware peripherals (including the 2496) and software (including Vegas) ever since that day - i have been unable to successfully record with this setup. i don't think it's a hardware issue because i've tried re-seating the soundcard - checked all my cables, etc. but here's what's happening...
the M-audio control panel shows a signal in the record and playback meters - but when i open up Vegas - no signal in the meters. i have tried various routing profiles within Vegas' setup screen and have got the software to recognize the 2496 for recording OR playback but not both! for example - i can record sound with Vegas - but not play it back. after removing the card and re-seating it in another PCI slot - i was able to playback but NOT record... see why i am confused? i had this exact same setup working fine only one year ago!!!
could someone help walk me through the setup process again from scratch? i'm a bit daft and perhaps i am missing something!
thanks in advance!!!
