Wave sound disappears with the kX-driver

banjon · Feb 8, 2008, 06:50 PM

I'm running Windows Vista with kX 3537 and ASIO4ALL.

Soundcard Creative SB Live.

My problem is that after innstalling the kX driver, the windows wave sound dissappears.
When I play mp3 or wma there is just silence. And yes, I've tried different programs and doubblechecked all mute-boxes

Although playing midi works fine, which is why I need the driver in the first place. (I us a USB-Midi-Keyboard for soft synths).

Anyways, this means that I have to uninstall the kX driver everytime I want to listen to music.

Any ideas ?

Also, after innstalling the kX driver the recording devices in the picture below disappears.. Pretty weird

Update kX to 3539:

edit: V3537 was released when win98 was still supported. /edit

Hmm..
It seems to work better, but there is still no sound. When playing an mp3 or wma the green-marked meters are moving but all I get is silence. (Control Panel > Sound > Playback)

..and now I don't get any sound from playing midi eighter..
Is this normal ?

there is probably 2 things to fix this...
1) plug your speakers into the REAR jack (they are swapped by default)
2) Change the 'Swap Front <> Rear' option in kX mixer main page

Great it worked!

Thanks!

But there is still one more problem.

My mic has disappeared from Control Panel > Sound > Recording ...

When I try to record wih the Sound Recorder I get a message that says "An audio recording device cannot be found."

Advice ?

well - I dont have Vista... but in XP - I choose 'kX Wave' as windows default recording device - then I set *what* I want to record in kX Mixer 'Record' page (set level for AC97) - and set AC97 page to record MIC (drop down menu).... but maybe a forum search would be better if I am wrong.. ??

Sorry thats the best I have for ya...
