  • Problems with getting sound in/out of my soundcard (Help?)

    First of all I'm sorry to abuse this forum with a post like this that is not of VSL content, but there are so many good musicians in here, that I hope for guidance here... If this post is not tolerated, I understand its deletion.

    I own the Nuendo 9652 DSP digital soundcard from RME/Steinberg, and recently saved enough money for a AD/DA converter (Flying Cow from Midiman).

    Through my mixer I get signal on the Flying Cow input, but as I try to record on my computer in wavelab I get the message:

    "Can not open wave device for recording. Are you sure your audio card supports the current specified sample rate and/or bit resolution? Check also if the input of your audio card is in slave or auto-sync mode."

    I have connected the Flying Cow to my Nuendo 9652 through the SP/DIF I/O.

    On my soundcard setup I have options as follows:
    MME: Check input "on", monitoring "on"
    SPDIF IN: Coaxial "on"(No Lock) (adat1/internal "off")
    SPDIF OUT: ADAT1 "off", Professional "on", Emphasis "on", non-audio "off".
    Clock mode: Auto-sync "on", Master "off", World Clock "off".
    Pref. sync ref: SPDIF in "on", Adat1/2/3 in "off".
    Sync ref: Inp. Master, Freq. 44,1 kHz
    Sync check: "No Lock" on all Adat options.
    AEB: Adat 1 int. "off"

    I can't get signal out, and I can't get signal in, so I truly wonder where I've done something wrong. All inputs would be greatly recieved!

    Thank you

    I may add that on the AD/DA converter (Flying Cow) I can't get the D/A Valid Led to light up, so obviously it must be something with the soundcard...

    Some time ago I tried to connect my hifi stereo to the digital soundcard, which resulted in a blast of blue sparks, and since then I haven't been able to turn on my hifi stereo. Might it be that my soundcard was damaged during this acciden?

    Ah, got it to work. I actually had to put the black phono out on the red phono in... strange [:P]

    heh [:P] Ofcurse I have more problems...

    I can't get any sound in Cubase SX. In Wavelab 4 and Reason 2.5 I get a skipping/chopping sound at playback, but in windows media player the sound is clear like a mountain river... any suggestions/help?

    Thank you.

    Alright, so I found it is most likely problems with the ASIO driver, as I can't get the full duplex setup for cubase to run...
    As a sidenote I had clear sound in reason as I was running the 2.0 version, but it started to crunch when I upgraded to 2.5, this same sound I get under wavelab also...

    anyone know how to fix this please?

    trefall, as you mention the steinberg card is basically an RME ...
    for RME there are updated ASIO drivers available, which support *multiport* (means two applications can access the same sound device). maybe worth a try to look out for updated drivers ...
    sorry if i didn't understand you right, but *full duplex* means record and play simultaniously, and that is not your setup, or is it?

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Thank you for the reply CM. I did already update my hardware with the latest RME drivers, but perhaps I should try to reinstall them yet another time...

    Ah, so that is what full duplex stands for, silly me. I use i/o simultaniously when recording guitar and vocal, but that works already [:)] no problem at all. So it all comes down to get the sound out from cubase...

    I also hear that the buzz amount may be the reason for my crunchy sound in wavelab/reason, but I already have it high... so doubtfully that would be the reason for my problems?

    I am greatful for the answers. thank you.

    do you use the spdif I/O for the AD-DA ?
    try to uncheck the boxes in your driver settings regarding spdif out which are named "professional" (which i suppose only suits for aes type spdif) and "emphasis" unless it's clearly stated in the manual of this AD-DA convertor.
    see if that gives you better results.


    hope this helps,

    Thanks. I got it to work now... the trick in Reason/Wavelab was actually to turn up the bus amount, and Cubase didn't handle the spdif driver, so I had to run an MME windows driver. But it sure has helped asking around, and I got answered a lot of other questions while at that... so thank you all for the help.
