Hi all.
I have got an emu 0404 pci sound card with all the packeged software, and have just bought a mixer and mic to record with.
I have never tried anything like this before and am now very confused, even after reading guides and faq's. Please can someone tell me quikly what to do on each program to get it working and i can fiddle from there to see what does what. Thanks
Cubase also every so often comes up with an error saying it cannot communicate with my soundcard, any ideas why? or how to stop it?
cheers!

Aug 15, 2008 11:12 am Hey Darkline, I'll throw out a few ideas.
first, install the physical card, as you've done.
next, the drivers should be installed, this usually is done with the company's install routine. I'm assuming you've done this as well. Often, people will go to the company's website to download the latest drivers. Sometimes cards can sit about for awhile, and the drives on the CD are out of date. I'd give that a whirl.
Next, I would go into the windows hardware device manager, and see if the device is being recognized and windows is happy with it. You should see it listed under the sound devices, etc. If there's a ? mark, or warning triangle, then something's wrong. There may be a conflict, or a driver problem. Troubleshooting this problem would usually involved the company's tech support.
If the device is showing up in windows device manager, then go into the windows sound applet and tell windows to use the 0404 as input and output. Then you can open media player, or something similar and see that windows can send audio out through the cards outputs. Oh yeah, you should have speakers plugged in by now =). If there's no audio coming out, then maybe there's a control panel of some sort, that you have to adjust volumes. You can adjust volume in the windows audio applet, but emu should have a control panel as well, that is probably much more robust.
If you can get audio from the card, then in cubase, I'll guess that you have to tell cubase which card to use a input and output. Somewhere in preferences or options would be my guess (not seen it).
If windows will use the card, but cubase is having fits, I'd suggest giving reaper a try, as a comparison. It's worked for quite a few where cubase falls short. ymmv, etc.
hth.
Aug 15, 2008 07:22 pm I should have asked right off. What are the specs of the PC you are running and what is the OS? SP or Vista?
If it is Vista that is probably the culprit right there. I'm not sure but I would assume that E-mu has a fix for it.
