ASIO Routing (again)

paulf · Mar 25, 2003, 01:04 PM

Hi all

I'm just starting to delve into the dark depths of ASIO and the KX drivers.

I've read loads of posts on here (and that has got me started - which is great) !

Anyway, I am hoping to use 3 inputs from my SB Live card - SP/DIF in (Co-ax), CD SP/DIF in (which I have soldered a Phon socket onto to give me a second Co-ax in) and the analogue in.

I took the standard routing setup (as per the default install), and added 6 connectors - from the three inputs on the prolog (ac97, Co-ax and CD) and conneted them to the last 6 ASIO connectors on the epliog.

This worked great for the two digital ins, but not the analogue.

I though I had seen something on this site about problems getting the analogue input onto the ASIO, but now I'm looking for it I can't find it !!.

Also, I thought that the routing was horrendously complicated for what I want to do (I am not wanting to use any internal FX or Soundfonts or Softsynths).
So being brave (

) I cleared the whole DSP screen and started from scratch.
I got the inputs working OK, but I lost the audio out (i.e. I could not hear the playback of anything I recorded in Cubase)

Can someone (simply) explain what connections I need so that I can record my 3 inputs (analogue in, Co-Ax and CD SP-Dif) into ASIO and then hear the results (in stereo) when I playback in Cubase (using the analogue output).

(and then.... if possible can I have the peak meter in there somewhere as well because I find it very useful for checking what inputs are working !)

Hope that all makes sense - any help or advice offered will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

use the default DSP settings, but change the following:

ac97 l/r (prolog) should be connected to in0/in1 (xrouting) AND asio10/11 (epilog)
cdSPDIF l/r (prolog) conected to in2/in3 (xrouting) and asio 12/13 (epilog)
coax l/r (prolog) connected to in4/5 (xrouting) and asio 14/15 (epilog)

good luck!

OK, so I connected CD SPDIF (Prolog) to ASIO 14+15 (epilog) and CoAx (Prolog) tp ASIO 12+13 (epilog)

Switch Sonar (2.2) over to ASIO and got audio from each input on the ASIO channels (although it did get a bit confused when I wanted to record from both at the same time - should the driver be OK for this ??)

But I still needed to have the two channels (CD SPDIF and CoAx in) unmuted and the faders raised in the I/O mixer page - why is this ?

Also, I tried removing the links in the DSP page from CD SPDIF (prolog) to In 2+3 (Routing) and CoAx In (prolog) to In 6+7 (routing) and then I found I had lost all audio input to Sonar (even though the ASIO links were still there)

Am I still doing something wrong ? - surely if the prolog entries are linked directly to the ASIO entries, then the mixer (and the linsk to the 'routing' object) should be irrelevant ??

Also, I set Sonar to output audio on ASIO 0+1, and this appeared on my normal output from the card, but where is this set within the DSP page ? (I can't find the ASIO outputs anywhere) ??

Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm very confused by all of this

Thanks
