Simon MFR Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hullo All Hope someone may be able to shed some light on this here swine that is currently doing my tiny tiny swede in... I have a custom built Carillon system (XP) hooked up to a 2408 Mkii. I've installed the drivers that I downloaded from motu.com, added the 324 card, and the system has recognised that there is new hardware, however it doesent actually pick up the card in the audio settings. A colleague has suggested that the Mkii, being an older unit (the original driver disc contained drivers for 95/98) will not be compatible with with a new computer as XP was not in use when the Mkii was released. Someone also mentioned there is a voltage issue (3v vs 5v) but I remain unconvinced. Is this something that anyone else has encountered? Do I simply need to purchase a replacement and more recent 324 card or is there something more sinister (and more likely expensive) that will need my attention? Thanking you in advance, Simon.

J Pearce Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Possibly, but most people here are primarily live event based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesperrett Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 there are a lot of recording specialists on there. Are there none here? Maybe the odd one or two :) - but there are plenty of 2408 users on the Sound on Sound forum, the Carillon MD pops in occasionally when we get too tough on his company, and we're usually a friendly bunch as long as you don't want us to answer all your homework questions. Cheers James PS - I happen to be an SOS forum moderator so my opinion may be a little biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Have you installed the interface console - it isn't just the drivers you need, but a piece of software runs to allow the card to be patched to your system. My Carillon had the same problem with the twin soundscape cards I have - the pci card is not picked up as a separate device. from what I remember of the MOTU units, they are similar. SOS had a load of stuff on this, as has been mentioned - well worth going on the forums. Here, you may have somebody with the same problem, but I doubt it - same as they wouldn't know much about DMX? The audio settings in my device manager are not listed as conventional audio devices - I expect your problem is the same. I'd expect that the motu interface gives you access to the patching - probably in pairs of channels, in the same way as mixstream does on mine. It is a kind of bridge - without mixstream working, no audio in or out. Probably doesn't help you much? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
