Important: Switch off the computer and remove the power cable from the power supply before fitting the DIGI32 PRO. Inserting and removing the card when the computer is in operation will more than likely lead to irreparable damage to the mainboard! 1. -

'ASIO Drivers' folder of the corresponding ASIO software. It is not possible to use the DIGI32 PRO with the control panel 'Monitors and Sound'! This is a restriction of the operating system. That's why Apple still ships the old control panel 'So- und', available in the Apple Extras Folder. -
Page 6: Operation And Usage
8. Operation and Usage 8.1 Connections The DIGI32 PRO has 3 external and 1 internal input and output (contact pins on the board). The internal input serves as a connection with an internal CD-ROM drive when this is supplied with a digital audio output. Advantage: the built in CD-ROM drive is sufficiant for digital recording and the need for external cabling does not arise. -

8.3 Record After the DIGI32 PRO has been set up as recording device in the software being used at the time, there are a few further points to note. Because the operating system cannot define errors exactly, it may well be that you receive the same error message for very different types of problems. -

Normally the output of the card is switched off. Often it is helpful to monitor the input signal or pass it on. For such cases the DIGI32 PRO is fitted with a monitor function, which can be set in the Settings dialog of the DIGI32 PRO driver (Output/Automatic). Activating the re- cording software using Pause or Play leads to passing the input signal direct to the output. -

(see chapter 10.2). In specific cases, like a direct connection of the inputs and outputs of a DAT with the DIGI32 PRO, AutoSync leads to a local feedback of the digital carrier. In such cases AutoSync can be deactivated to avoid this local loop problem. -

™ 9.4 MacOS Use the Sound control panel, Sound Out, to activate DIGI32 PRO as playback device, and set up the desired sample frequency for playback. The Soundmanager will activate a software sample rate converter when the sample rate set up in Sound Out does not meet the one of the played back file. -

In most cases 'local loop-back' can be realized. A DAT used as A-D-A-Converter whose digital output is connected to the input of the DIGI32 PRO also leads to a loop and a loss of the digital carrier. But after deactivating 'AutoSync' such a loop requiring no clock master is possible even with other devices, because the DAT is not working in Full Duplex mode. -

In case the message box ‘New Hardware Component found’ does not appear, or the driver can´t be installed under NT: • Is the Error LED of the DIGI32 PRO lit when no cable is connected to the optical input? If not, the card is either defect or not sitting properly in the slot. -

• If you are sure that a valid signal is being sent but the LED is still red, then check the chosen input. • Check that the DIGI32 PRO is set as recording device under the software being used. • Check that the setting of the sample frequency in the software (recording properties or simi- lar) relates to the adjacent signal. -
