RE: [ECS] multiple sound cards Kevin Keast Wed, 17 Nov 1999 21:07:19 -0500

I just found out something with my system.  If I open the windows control
panel then select properties I have two playback devices.  One is "AudioPCI
Mixer" and one is "Audio PCI Mic Boost".  The PCI Mixer is the sound card
that I would say is the default card-all controls work and ECS uses this for
TTS.  The other PCI is the one I am using for WINAMP but.....The control
panel for this shows the CD player as the WAV device.  And the only two
controls that work are the CD AKA WAV volume and the main volume.  Still
cannot enable the line out.  Rats.

Two hardware profiles might work.   But don't they have to run
independently?

Humm, how about 2 hardware profiles? I with one sound card and one with the
other? This should at least let you see each one separately.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I have two sound cards on my machine.  I have an Ensoniq 32 and a PCI
128, both from Creative.  I have searched far and wide to try to find
information on how to do this "the right way" but I don't think there is a
"Right Way".

I installed one of the cards with its control software-no problems.

I installed the second card but I cannot configure it.  There is a problem
with the "Audio LegacyPCI Device" that is installed with the cards.  Windows
98 will not let me install two of these.  Well, I can install two but only
one is working.  I believe this is simply the control panel for the card
that the machine cannot install.  The card itself installs and works -if you
can figure out how to use it.

 BUT with WINAMP I can designate which card I use- way to go WINAMP!:
OPTIONS>PREFERENCES>AUDIOI/IO>CONFIGURE> Change from Wave Mapper (default)
to your PCI Audio card (Both should appear: PCI0 and PCI1).  Then when ECS
tells WINAMP to play the non-TTS card plays.  They work fine with no
problems together.

The problem I am having is:  I can't figure out how to get both control
panels.  I need this so I can enable the Line-OUT on my WINAMP sound card.
Right now only the speaker out is working.

I know it can be done more efficiently.....Hey maybe I will work on it some
more tonight.  I'll let you know if I find anything new.

Good Luck,  hope this helps.

Kevin

Anyone use multiple sound cards in their PC? I would like to have multiple
PC feeds of MP3 into an audio matrix switcher.

Thanks,
Dave
