[chup2]

Hello i've been having a problem with M-audio audiophile usb..everything went ok, I've installed it ok, its running fine i just can't get it work..i mean there is just simply no sound coming out from my speakers..I own Creative speakers with subwoofer and also there is a primary sound card Realtek HD..but the thing is whenever i go to control panel|sound and audio devices| and in audio part for Sound playback and Sound recording I choose Realtek HD the volume part is working so i can choose what volume i want to coming out from my speakers etc. but when i choose either M-Audiophile USB S/PDIF or M-audio Audiophile the volume part just greys out and i can't choose anything, meaning there is no sound comming out from my speakers..can anyone help??????????? i am using Windows XP 64bit, i'm just dumb,i'm sorry...my audiophile is just connected with power adapter and usb cable, do i need anything else yet in order to get all sounds go through this external audio card or what?thanks for every comment, sorry for my english

Not sure I understand...
you say it's working fine but you can't hear anything?
then it's not working fine, is it?
do you have the latest drivers installed? check maudio.com for drivers.
I have some problems with my audiophile usb. it seems very picky about when I turn it on. for example, if I turn it on too soon or too late, I get the Windows "found new hardware" message.
I don't know about your other soundcard so I can't say.
but why do you need two soundcards?
you might try disabling the other one and just use audiophile.
also try using asio or wdm with the audiophile.

well i meant its working fine like its all connected and stuff, but there is just no sound coming out of my speakers..but i found another thread on the internet where the guy has this exact problem, you can see it here http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?t=2061 it seems that im using wrong power adapter so i bought the original one for this product and im still waiting for it,so whenever i'll get that i'll see if that's the solution,anyway thx 4 reply

well may you have some problem in you sound settings or usb settings...
check it again
if not working after checking then uninstal it and then instal it again

I have a Fostex VF160EX 16 track recorder, highly regarded maybe 5-7 years ago but technology has advanced I know. Anyway, I want to get a Logic Studio DAW on my Macbook, and use that for editing, mixing and mastering etc the files we record with the FOSTEX. The manual says you can upload up to 24 tracks using the ADAT (there is only one plug out) (that would be 16 + 8 virtual tracks). Eventually I would upgrade to a 8 or higher line firewire interface, but at that time probably would need more computing power as well to simultaneously track 8 or more tracks.....So, to minimize investment at this stage hoping to do it this way. The Fostex has 20bit A/D conversion, which is sufficient for my needs at this time, I feel. Anyway to get these files to my DAW by ADAT? Also has SP/DIF, but from what I read the ADAT is the more suitable standard to use.. HELP!!
