Help!!!!!!
I use my aardvark 20/20+ and I believe all the outputs isn't working. Of course, the guy who I bough it from won't respond to me about it (I'm trying to keep calm and not track this guy down and burn his house down!!...just kidding...sort of). So, I'm using my Soundblaster 5.1 Gamer to monitor out with. But, there is a split second delay in live monitoring. I changed the buffering down as low as it gets and it's better, but there is still that second delay that makes it impossible to record with. PLEASE HELP!! I'm totally out of ideas of what to do. Any ideas on the outputs of the Aardvark will be helpful, maybe I'm being completely dumb and don't have the routing right. Any help is appriecated.

Dec 24, 2003 01:39 pm the ardvard outs are your best bet. they should offer some sort of realtime monitoring, a feature nessecary to properly multitrack on a PC.
what exactly is happening with the outputs?
Dec 25, 2003 04:38 pm When I route to my outputs (has my powered studio monitors on two channels of the outs), I get no sound. Almost like they don't even work at all.
I know this is a strange request but would you mind briefly explaning how to set up my outs to do realtime monitoring through Sonar 3??
Thanks a bunch
Dec 25, 2003 06:53 pm You need to go to options/audio and choose the Ardvarks output drivers so they will be usable in Sonar. Then assign which ever ones you want to use for monitering to the main output of Sonar. You should also have a control panel for the Ardvark that installed with the driver package and there should be a choice to assign whichever channels to direct monitering. I use a Delta but the ASIO control panels all contain pretty much the same stuff.
The reason you are getting a delay is mostly caused by the differance in timing from the SB card and the Ardvark card, as they use a differnat chip for timing out control. You can adjust this in the offset but it would be in you best interest and it will give you much better timing to use the same card for input and output.
Dec 26, 2003 07:48 pm The drivers are selected in Sonar. The control panel for Aardvark is handy and it's routed correctly. That's why I think I'm having this problem. So, I believe I'm stuck with a 20/20 that the outputs doesn't even work. I'll work with it some more and see what I can do.
Dec 26, 2003 08:42 pm The only other thing would be to check to make sure something is not muted somewhere. I know my Delta had a small glich when I first installed it. The windows audio control tried to mess with the Delta control. You should go and check that the mindows audio control panel does not have the Ardvark outputs muted. It shouldnt happen but it does so its worth a look.
Jan 02, 2004 01:01 pm Checked out and sure enough, Windows is not letting audio through my Aardvark. Now, I feel dumb. I use XP and know it pretty good. I cannot find in the audio settings, aardvark's manager, or anywhere to make this work. When I switch the soundcard in windows to my aarkvark...it gives an error when I test it that says audio can't go out that way (the error says something like that). If you could Noize2u, could you tell me what you changed to make your Delta work when you had this similar problem?
Thanks a bunch.
