Re-open your audio application. Be sure to choose the same sample rate here as
you chose earlier in the MultiMix control panel. Different programs allow you to
set sample rates in different ways. Consult your program's documentation for
this.
It's important that you select a sample rate that the MultiMix can handle. Do not
select a sample rate other than 44.1k or 48k.
I cannot change the Windows XP volume using the Windows volume control
slider
This is normal. Change the volume by using the controls on the MultiMix.
How can I make the MultiMix my default audio device?
In Windows, choose Start, Control Panel, and then Sounds and Audio Devices.
Click the Audio tab. Change the Sound Playback drop-down box to "MultiMix
Audio Out." Change the Sound Recording drop-down box to "MultiMix Main
In."
Do the same for the Voice tab.
I think that I only installed some of the drivers, not all of them
It's easy to click a wrong button during installation, causing a partial installation
of the drivers. Here's how to remedy this problem:
1. With the MultiMix turned on and connected to your computer, go to the
Device Manager. To do so, press and hold the Windows button (the one with the
little Windows icon on it). While holding Windows, press the Pause/Break key.
Now, click the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.
(If your keyboard does not have a Windows key, located My Computer either on
your desktop or through the Start menu. Right-click My Computer, choose
Properties, and then click the Hardware tab. Now, click the Device Manager
button. )
2. Click the little plus sign ("+") next to Sound, video and game controllers. The
MultiMix should be listed there. (If it's not, leave your mixer on and reboot your
computer. It's necessary that your mixer be listed here before you can proceed.)
It will probably have a yellow explanation point in its listing, indicating that there
is a problem with it.
