If you are having problems with your Revolution 5.1, you may wish to try the following
quick troubleshooting tricks:
•
If things don't seem to be working properly, try restarting the computer. This solves
many computer problems.
•
If you have not been able to get your Revolution 5.1 card to work at all, or if it worked for
a while and then stopped working altogether, uninstall then reinstall the driver software.
•
When launching an ASIO application, make sure that game mode is disabled in the
"Input/Other" tab of the Revolution 5.1 Control Panel.
•
If the unit stopped working after you installed a new program or system software
update, check the M-Audio website for more recently updated drivers. If a major
system software update has been recently released, you may need to search for
beta version software drivers, which provide increased support for the new software.
•
A few features are disabled when a 192kHz or 96kHz sampling rate is selected. If
a feature isn't working properly, try opening the Control Panel, selecting
Input/Other, and setting the sampling rate to 48kHz.
•
Test Tones will not work on any speaker setting in Windows 2000 or Windows Me,
and result in the Windows Error: "Unable to create test tone. This operation is not
allowed when in digital output mode." To fix this, install Direct X 8.1, or WinDVD 5,
both of which are located on the Applications CD. (Installing WinDVD 5 will also
install DirectX 8.1 if it is not already installed in your system.
