Jun 18, 2005 05:24 pm Lots of things can go wrong there. Probably conflicts between the cards and/or other devices. Try your Delta by itself, first. Uninstall the Delta and your "default" sound card drivers, then the sound cards (if the "default" is onboard, disable it in the BIOS, including the game port and/or midi port). Re-install your Delta (preferrably in an unshared IRQ slot - check your motherboard documentation). Get it to work as intended by itself, 1st.
Now, is the Delta a WDM capable card? If it's ASIO only, then you'll only be able to do 2-track stereo with it if you use WDM. Check your documentation. When you did your test, did you see a wave file image created? Just because you heard the sound when you hit record, doesn't mean it actually recorded. You might have an empty file.
Once you've got your Delta installed OK, then you could try to install your old default card. You could then use the Delta to record & monitor using ASIO, and the "default" for your Windows stuff playback using the WDM driver. But don't count on it going smoothly.
Edit: as a side note, I'd install the included software that came with the Delta and be sure you can record that way. Read everything you can on the recording/monitoring/playback setups & patching involved. It can get quite complicated.
