Installed-and-Running
Hi n-Trackers:
Today I installed the drivers and card into the Dual-Boot P-4 machine…
The drivers are loaded into the XP system…
The card is loaded into the PCI Slot ONE of the ASUS P4P800 SE Mainboard…
There NO PCI Slots unloaded on that machine…
The graphics card Matrox G-550 is in the AGP slot…
ONE has the m-Audio Card…
TWO has the Lexicon CORE-32 Audio Card… THREE has the Creative Labs/S/B Live Card… FOUR has the RAID/Promise-T Card and FIVE has the Modem Card…
The LAN is connected through a USB Wireless Device…
However, I have issues trying to get the LAN to operate…
It’s a User Authorization Fault…
I need help to make it operate properly…
Some of it works…
some of it don’t…
I attempted to install the m-Audio 192 into the P-111…
However, the drivers didn’t install properly…
I didn’t have a resolve for the issue…
at the Get-GO…
I wrote m-Audio Support some mail asking them for a Pin-Out e.g. wiring for R/T/S to XLR pins to make interface cables…
This 192 Card is looking like a fantastic card for the Alesis Masterlink Analogue In/Out Interface…

Bill,
You have a ton of stuff in this box. If you are having trouble you might want to check IRQ conflicts. I have also found that the M-Audio likes to be the ONLY soundcard in the box. You might need to remove the Creative and definitly get rid of thier crap-o drivers. What would you need it for anyway? For best preformance, sound quality, and consistancy you should be using the same A-D, D-A converters on both ins & outs.
Pin outs are standard 1/4" TRS to XLR:
1/4"= Tip-HOT, Ring-COLD, Sleeve-Ground
XLR= 1-GROUND, 2-HOT, 3-COLD
If you look really close at an XLR connector they almost, almost, always are numbered.

So-Far-So-Good…
No Conflicts…
The IRQ assignments seem O.K.
I believe…
I’ll be checking this machine’s behaviour as-it-goes…
I originally wanted to install the 192 Card in the P-111 Box…
I had two unused PCI Slots on that ASUS CUSL-2c Mainboard… However, I wasn’t able to install the drivers correctly at the Get-GO…
I do think I’ll give the P-111 another go at installing the m-Audio 192 Drivers… If I could get the 192 card to operate, I’d easily order another 192 Card for the P-111 machine…
I still like the option of having an S/B Live 5.1 card as an option in the P-111…
This is all somewhere down-the-road anyway…
I have
lots of work to do to get the studio constructed enough to begin installing audio hardware…
Money for things is beginning to tighten up…
If only the weather would begin to dump money on us over here…
We were spared yet again…
The weather turned to rain…
The temperature is in the hi-single and low double numbers
8-12c…
The wind is blowing gale force and what snow there was is almost gone…
AND the sun is shining in a beautiful blue sky… With no overcast, the temperature is gonna drop…
The pin-outs you posted look quite standard…
There’s no reason to believe that m-Audio would do anything out of the ordinary…
I have the signal appearing at the main outs by plugging 1/4" plugs (unbalanced) for now…
Just the first click of the male plugs…
I have the latest drivers installed on the P-4…
(for XP Service pack 3)…
However, I like the original drivers showing the m-Audio mixer GUI… Those drivers also have the option to place each-or-both signal lines In-or-Out of phase…
That’s a nice option…
I think…
I haven’t played with the card in any detail…
Although, I should get with the ASIO drivers and all…
to check it’s behaviour and all…
Bill…
I endured and got the card to run in the P-111 machine…
I loaded the driver disk and it took me through to the install the audio card…
Then I updated the drivers version and all appears to be fine with the P-111 machine…
I put it through it’s paces and all appears fine and stable…
so
far…
Here’s a print screen of the audio card in ASIO mode with a two-track file in the timeline…
I’m attempting to show some of the machine’s operating specs. as the file on the timeline is being scanned…
I’m not hearing any skips and the audio appears to stream from the drive with no issues…
so far…
m-Audio is pushing Pro-Tools as the Editor-of-Choice…
Pro-Tools v7.4 is plastered everywhere in Docs…
The PCI Slots are full except for Slot Three…
The AGP slot has an AIW Pro 128 Graphics Card…
Slot One has the Delta 192 Card…
Slot Two has the Promise-T RAID Card…
Slot Three is Empty…
Slot Four has a USB Rev. 2.0 Expansion Card…
Slot Five has a S/B Live 5.1 Audio Card
and…
Slot Six has a Modem Card…
I’ll be spending the next day-or-two running everything I can think of to see how this machine is gonna behave…
So-Far-So-Good…
