Sonar / Pulsar II / ASIO problem

Karma · Post by **Karma** » Tue Jul 08, 2003 10:51 am

Hello everyone! I'm having a slightly disturbing problem that I hope someone could help me with...

Sonar 2.2 doesn't find any ASIO driver on my system, although I have the Digidesign driver that somone in these forums recommended installed. Furthermore Sonar now seems to have lost all connection to reality as it doesn't even find the Pulsar WDM drivers anymore. If someone with a similar system could tell me how the ______ you got it up and running I would be extremely grateful.
Cheers.

System:

Pentium 2.4GHz
Epox 4PEA MoBo
256MB DDR
Sonar 2.2
PulsarII x 2 + Syncplate
Matrox G450 Dualhead 2 x Compaq p75 Monitors
WinXP in standard mode and all updates + All driver updates and most recent BIOS
A16
Mackie 32-8 Mixer
Mackie HR824 Speakers
etc...

What Digidesign driver, for SFP? I think you need SFP drivers, found in the install folder of SFP.

I have installed the WDM drivers for the pulsar cards, but how do i install the ASIO drivers? Feeling very, very lost here..... think I missed somthing at some point... been using Win98 for four years now with MME drivers so this whole ASIO thing is new to me...

Geez, another guy from Finland, welcome!

Have you installed SFP? ASIO drivers get installed automatically.

yes should be automatic.reinstall sfp over the old install.it should all be available then.

After you load the ASIO in/outs in the SFP routing window, you need to open Sonar and setup ASIO under the audio properties.

If you have already done this, then I am not sure what the problem is.

Switching back to WDM should be as simple as loading the wav in/outs in the SFP routing windown, then opening Sonar and performing a wav profile under the audio properties.

I've tried all of the above without success... I'm trying a fresh install of everything now, including windows. The strange thing about the WDM driver is that it worked for a while, but then Sonar decided that it didn't support stereo and just got generally screwed up. To the best of my knowledge this points to a driver installation error, so I'll just try a completely fresh run and see what happens. thanks guys!
