Problems and Possible Causes

When I first turn on my computer, the sound seems wrong.

Always verify that the problem is not the source material being fed to OPTIMOD-PC,
or in other parts of the system.
•
This is normal. Upon boot, the OPTIMOD-PC driver loads a "placeholder" preset
and I/O setup into the OPTIMOD-PC's DSP so that the card will pass audio. After
the OPTIMOD-PC Service application starts (as part of the computer's boot se-
quence), it will automatically load the last active preset and I/O setup.
The driver does not restore the Processing Delay, AGC, and I/O Lowpass
Filter Configuration parameters at startup. They are restored at startup if
the OPTIMOD-PC service is being started automatically. If the OPTIMOD-
PC service is not being started automatically, these parameters will be re-
stored when the OPTIMOD-PC Control application is launched.
All others IO settings are restored when the driver loads.
•
Another possible cause is that when you upgraded the software, you did not in-
stall it into the same location as your previous software and the OPTIMOD-PC
service was not overwritten correctly. In this scenario, the OPTIMOD-PC ser-
vice will not start automatically and the active parameters will not be re-
stored until the OPTIMOD-PC Control application is launched. Uninstall any pre-
vious version of the OPTIMOD-PC software via Windows Add/Remove Programs
and re-install the new software. See Uninstalling the OPTIMOD-PC Software
starting on page 5-1.
