soundblaster

hi all you cw-users out there ....

I have just bought a scope fx card for my "second pc" to handle my gigasampler and transefer the gs-output via adat-interface
to my main daw.

Since my "second pc" also is my pc for internet-surfing and ms-office, gameing etc i am wondering wether i still need my soundblaster card. And if so, can i route the output of my soundblaster internally into
the scop-fx-mixer ?

any suggestions ? thanx !

I've tried it already, I suppose what type of soundblaster it is,but in the scope platform window, under software i/os, there's a soundcard driver for scope, look in the manuals, you load the module, and then double click on it to see the options of your soundcard.personally I've never found it much use,but then you never know.

that module doesn't work - it was probably intended to connect to a very, very old, basic soundblaster driver (not the Live or Audigy type of things) before Y2K.
I would just route the Soundblaster the analog way - or is that already occupied ?

cheers, Tom

Thank you both.

I have tried the soundblaster driver and
first it did not work very well.
I had a lots of syncproblems in the signal.
Later it worked fine , but i do not now why ?
So i will see what happens next

Just wondering:
if i play a game on that pc that needs a soundblaster-compatibe-soundcard ...
could i use the scope-fx instead ?

You don't need the soundblaster at all. Playing games works fine with the Scope. Just use a wav source module in your project and make sure windows uses this as it's primary audio driver.

most likely you did what KingOfSnake suggested above - the game used the wave driver

cheers, Tom

btw. the wav source module will show up in Windows' "Sounds and audio devices" panel as "Creamware Play/Rec 1"
All audio from all windows applications inlcuding games will now be using this driver for audio.

But forget it for DAW in combination with scope or the like.

the point is that you don't need it for gaming either, cause scope will work just fine.
