Hello again,

I have reinstalled Scope and also XTC Mode, now this time I have noticed a thing that was different to my previous installation. It is a box that comes up called "XTC IO ENABLER". It asks/says the following:

"My Creamware Card has no IO
My Creamware Card has IOs Enable ASIO DRIVERS" so I tick the box (as I have ASIO Drivers I guess).

Then it goes on to say (and this is the bit I am unsure about):

"Enable Wave Drivers (In/Out- Channels)
Always Open Wave Devices (please disable for Logic Audio Windows 9x only)

(I use Win XP Pro so I guess that is irrelevant to me isn't it?)

"Enable Midi Drivers"

"Logic Audio+Wave Optimisation"


At first I didn't enable Wave Drivers so my default projects in Scope didn't open and it gave me a message along the lines of do I want Windows to install them. In the end I uninstalled Scope and reinstalled again but this time I enabled the wave drivers and in the IN/OUT bit I chose 8 of them. I don't know why, but I did and I can't remember how many channels. This time my default project opened up properly.

My question are:

Why do I have to enable Wave Drivers? How many of them should I enable and how many channels? As I said I took a stab at 8 but don't ask me why. And seeing I use XP Pro was I right in leaving "Always Open Wave Devices" ticked?

Thanks and my apologies if the questions are too banal and maybe for some of you to obvious an answer, but I would realy appreciate your comments.

Hi,

My 2 cents: This tool makes your card an SRB. It's for use in conjunction with another card that you would use as output, for example for people using an RME with a Scope SRB as XTC host.

Now how it's setup, don't ask, I'm off of the XTC.

You don't have to enable wave drivers as long as you are planing to use only asio anyway. So if you want to use wave drivers enable them, as many as you think you'll need. If you plan to use asio drivers disable wave drivers and enable the asio only.

The startup project does not open right away because there are objects in it that need those wave drivers. But again if you don't want to use wave drivers but asio just ignore the message. When the popup asks if you want to install the drivers just click "no". The project will open properly so you can make your own startup project with asio drivers. How many you will need is up to you.

BTW, this does not make your card a SRB the opposit is the case. This tells your system that there ARE Ins and Outs.

You make have a wavedriver too, incase you need to open a regular sound-app, like Wavelab, while ASIO is initiated.
