Use both Aux and Line In at same time?

Chester01 · Nov 22, 2004, 03:57 AM

Is it possible to use both the Line In source and CD/Aux port in the computer at the same time? Thanks!

Chester01 · Nov 22, 2004, 04:34 AM

using the StereoMix setting in AC97 works, but it would be nice if i could individually control them (use multiple Src insatnces in the DSP) Any advice?

EDIT: So you know what I am trying to do; I want to be able to have two sources, a pre-amplified drum (Line In) or other audio source, and a guitar (Aux) with different dsp effects applied to each. This would be why the use of Stereo Mix is unacceptable. I can control the levels with Stereo Mix however this does no good because I also need to control effects seperately. Thanks again!

yes this can work

you need to use some kxctrl commands… search the forum for my quick guide on multiple inputs

For eveyone else so they dont have to search:
http://www.hardwareheaven.com/general-discussion/50590-quick-guide-get-extra-inputs-your-card.html
I did the commands but am not sure what they changed. I entered these:

in the command window type:
"kxctrl sac97 2 0" and press enter, then
"kxctrl shw 19 1" and press enter

Do I need to restart or need to re-run them after a restart? Thanks!

hy chester01, have a look at SPDIF Status. kx-mixer, then properties and then SPDIF/I2S or something. then you should have in line I2S some frequencyinfo, this means it is switched to the I2S A/D.

Chester01 · Nov 22, 2004, 05:37 PM

So basically do i turn my SPDIF input (normally digital) into an analog input?

This is what my SPDIF Info says:

SPDIF Inputs: [R-Rate Locked; S-Stream Locked; V-Valid Audio]
spdif A: unused
spdif B: unused
spdif C: unused or same as B
I2S Inputs: (0): 0Hz (!) (1): 48000Hz [R] (2): 0Hz (!)
SPDIF Outputs:
(0): 2109204 (1): 2109204 (2): 2109204 (24 bits / 48000 Hz)

It isnt working, I have tried plugging into every input on the card and have had no sucess. I do not have a live drive, a second card, OR it running through my motherboard. I am just trying to seperate the analog inputs on the actual card.

Tonight, hopefully, I will post a link to my pathetic excuse for a Webpage showing my version of dj_stick's concept of adding a second input to an Audigy card.

Read that thoroughly--your answer is probably in there someplace.

It sounds like you are using a custom DSP setup--if you are, there are special steps you have to take in order to configure the mixer correctly! If you don't get *ALL* of the sliders moved to their right positions, nothing will work the way it should. To gain access to the sliders, you will have to save your custom DSP setup to a new file, then re-initialize the DSP to the default settings (the one that looks like spaghetti) and then fiddle with mixer slider settings, then re-load your custom DSP setup.

Good luck to you! By the way, IT'S WORTH IT!

Nappylady, as you said in your linked post: "...For the amount of effort that's gone into figuring this all out, this information should *definitely* go in the knowledgebase."
But actually I can't find it. Am I wrong or I'm missing something? I think many people are really interested in it and it never has been explained clearly.

Nappylady · Nov 24, 2004, 04:59 PM

AFAICT, my explanation in the linked thread is the only place that such a comprehensive explanation is given... I don't think it's in the KB yet... which is why I keep that HTML file on my hard drive for future reference!

Nando Dominguez · Nov 25, 2004, 10:55 AM

I copied it to my hard drive too

Spielfreek · Feb 14, 2005, 03:26 AM

Hi. Did you ever get it working (am trying to do similar things)

**dj_stick** · Feb 14, 2005, 06:26 AM

i don't think i will add such an explanation to the KB, as kX now has a software switch for it in 3538
the kxctrl commands are almost redundant now
