Acer 5050 (5056) not working with Indigo I/O

you can use steinberg nuendo, then try

Virtual outputs? in Echo console The phones output is Analog 1-2 and the line output is Analog 3-4. In the Echo console, you can choose between the Analog 1-2 bus and the Analog 3-4 bus in the upper right hand corner. In the Analog 1-2 bus make sure you have virtual output 3-4 muted. In the Analog 3-4 bus make sure you have the virtual output 1-2 muted. From within your audio application you can now assign your headphones output and your house (line) output. Hope this is some help.

Yes it should be fine. That laptop looks to use a N270 processor so no problems with trying to get 64bit drivers. Laptop has a builtin soundcard and supports USB and Bluetooth.

Any new good USB or Bluetooth headset will come with drivers for XP, Vista and Windows 7 32bit. Vista drivers should work with Windows 7 if non are availble yet, but you will need to try 'em. I'm assuming you are not running Linux tho...

You probably need to install a device driver for your sound card if Windows does not support it by default. You should have a CD for the audio card which contains a driver, otherwise you can download it from the manufacturer's support site.

Here are some more steps on how to troubleshoot sound in XP.

I can run audio on 3 separate channels/outputs of my laptop

I use Tricerasoft Swift Elite DJ software but the areas you need to look at for troubleshooting are probably similar:

1) check the (PCDJ) software settings for selecting the channel outputs of your Indigo DJ on each deck/ player. NOTE: 1/2 and 5/6 are the same physical port (headphone port), while 3/4 and 7/8 are also shared on the Line Out port. So make sure you use for eg. one player uses 1/2, and the other player uses 3/4 ONLY IF you want them running out to separate channels on the mixer

I personally run both my decks off the same channel, ie 3/4 so that my software can do the mixing for me. My mixer only acts as an master control device where everything else connects

2) Make sure you check your IndigoDJ Console (installed to the Windows Start menu under Echo Audio, Indigo DJ), if you have any conflicts or if for some reason one particular channel pair gets inadvertently muted, resulting in no sound coming from the port.

3) I also use my onboad sound card (typically for previewing music or for an auxillary output). This is obviously controlled by the Operating system... in Windows is is through the Sound properties, default sound device. I recommend NOT using Indigo DJ as a default sound card -- but that is a personal preference.

So in this way you actually have 3 outputs for sound

As far as cabling is concerned, it depends on what you are connecting to. I use a 1/8 (mini computer) jack to 1/4 whcih then plugs into a direct box (eleminates any static hum etc), then from the DI box using an XLR cable to the mixer. Your setup may be slightly different.

Hope this helps!

Did you try the WDM 605 drivers - and the WDM611 beta one (which looks pretty mature) - They can be found on many servers.

Had the same problem and fixed it today. It is the mute button. Whem you change from 1-2 to 3-4 if the mute button for 1-2 does not activate you will get the sound from 1-2 thru 3-4. Just change the setting and you are away. worked for me.

dont plug mic into output, it is input

Is the outgoing sound dampened? You can go to:

Start -> Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices (or something similar) and choose Advanced Volume Control.

You can also doubleclick the speaker icon next to your systemclock on the bottom right of your screen.

In Advanced Volume Control, make sure the correct soundcard is selected. If not go to Options -> Properties and select the correct one over at Mixer device.

Anyhow. Make sure that the sliders for outgoing sound don't have the "Dampened" checkbox checked.

I hope this answers your problem, if not tell me.

Windows Vista Home Premium--Up to date This may be the problem. Vista is very much AntiPiracy. If you are ripping or such, Vista will give you grief.
