About the digital input/output of the UA-1D

Input

The UA-1D has two digital input connectors: OPTICAL IN and COAXIAL IN. However, it is not possible to use both OPTICAL IN and COAXIAL IN simultaneously. If signals are simultaneously input to both connectors, the signal applied to OPTICAL IN is given priority. If you want to use COAXIAL IN, disconnect the cable from the OPTICAL IN connector.

Output

Output from the UA-1D takes places in one of the following two ways:

• If a signal is being input through the digital input connector The signal being input through the digital input connector will be output to both OPTICAL OUT and COAXIAL OUT. The audio signal from the computer will not be output to OPTICAL OUT or COAXIAL OUT.

• If no signal is being applied at the digital input connector The audio signal from the computer will be output to both OPTICAL OUT and COAXIAL OUT.

In order to use the UA-1D to play back audio data from your computer, there must be no input signal arriving at the digital input connector. In other words, you must either connect nothing to the digital input connector, or turn off the power of the connected device.

Sampling frequency

Audio data is transferred between the UA-1D and computer at 16-bit resolution and 48kHz sampling rates for output. 16-bit resolution and 32/44.1/48 kHz sampling rates are supported for input.

About SCMS

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a function that protects the rights of the copyright owner by prohibiting second-generation or later copying via a digital connection to a consumer digital audio device such as a DAT recorder or MD recorder. When a recording is made via a digital connection on a digital recorder that has this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the digital audio signal. A digital audio signal containing this SCMS data cannot be recorded again via a digital connection.

SCMS on the UA-1D

On the UA-1D, SCMS will affect operation only for digital signals input from an external device. If a digital audio signal containing SCMS data is input from a MD or other media that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD, when inputting from the UA-1D's digital input connector, the UA-1D cannot record this signal on your computer.

A note regarding copyright

• Unauthorized recording, public performance, broadcast, sale, or distribution of a work (CD recording, video, broadcast, etc.) whose copyright is owned by a third party is forbidden by law. Any infringement on the rights of a third party you may commit using the UA-1D is solely your own responsibility, and no responsibility shall be born by the manufacturer of the UA-1D. Unauthorized duplication, even for purposes of personal use, of a copyrighted work belonging to a third party by circumventing technical means of protection such as SCMS constitutes infringement of the copyright of that third party, and is forbidden by law.

If you are using computer for the first time, or do not understand the explanation of a procedure, refer to the owner's manuals for your computer or for OS.

If the UA-1D does not operate as you expect, check the following points.

Problems related to the USB driver

"Add New Hardware Wizard" does not start up automatically

"Add New Hardware Wizard" terminates before completion

• When the USB cable is connected or disconnected, approximately 15 seconds (or more) may be required for the UA-1D to be recognized.
  Is the USB cable connected correctly?

Make sure that the UA-1D and computer are connected correctly by the USB cable.

• Can USB be used on your computer?

Refer to the owner's manual for your computer, and make sure that it is able to use USB.

• Does your computer or USB hub have sufficient power supply capacity?

The UA-1D cannot be connected if insufficient power is supplied to it. Check whether one of the following cases apply.

If you are using the UA-1D with a notebook computer that is running on its battery, operation may be unreliable with some models of computer. If this is the case, connect the AC adaptor to your notebook computer.

The power conservation mode of your computer may limit the power that is supplied to USB. Check the settings of your computer.

In some cases, the UA-1D cannot be used with a bus-powered hub (a hub that does not contain a power supply). Please use a self-powered hub (a hub that contains a power supply).

• Does your computer meet the USB specifications?

If you are using a computer that does not meet the USB specifications (such as a homemade computer), operation may be unstable. In such cases, you may be able to solve the problem by connecting a USB hub that contains a power supply.

• Is "Unknown Device" displayed for "Other devices" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers"?

Use the following procedure to delete "Unknown Device" from "Other devices" (Universal serial bus controller), and re-start your computer.

In order to check whether or not the "Unknown Device" is the UA-1D, disconnect the USB cable of the UA-1D, and verify that "Unknown Device" has disappeared. Then connect the UA-1D once again, and delete "Unknown Device."

1. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click [System] to open the System Properties dialog box.
2. Click the [Device Manager] tab.
3. Double-click [Other devices] (Universal Serial Bus controllers) to see the list of devices.
4. In the list, select Unknown Device and click [Remove].
5. In the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click [OK].
6. Make sure that the list does not show Other devices or Unknown Device, and click [Close] to close the dialog box.

The "Add New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears even though you installed the drivers

If your computer or USB hub has two or more USB connectors, connecting the UA-1D to a USB connector to which the UA-1D has never before been connected may cause the Add New Hardware Wizard dialog box will appear even though the drivers have already been installed. Install the drivers once again as described in Connections and driver installation (Windows) (p. 10). This is not a malfunction.

Drivers are not installed correctly

Use the procedure described in Deleting the USB Audio Device driver (p. 36) to delete the USB Audio Device driver installed in your computer, and install the UA-1D drivers once again as described in Connections and driver installation (Windows) (p. 10). Check whether there is an item named "Unknown Device" in "Other devices" or in "Universal Serial Bus controllers."

If you find "Unknown Device," delete it.

A dialog box saying "Unknown Device found" appears, and I can't install the driver

Depending on your computer, not all of the Windows 98 files required to support audio over USB may have been installed when the computer was shipped.

Please check with the manufacturer of your computer.

Problems when using the UA-1D

OS becomes unstable

• Starting up a computer when the UA-1D is already connected may cause the computer to become unstable.

If this occurs, start up the computer with the UA-1D disconnected, and then connect the UA-1D.

No sound

• Are you attempting to use the CD player of your computer to play an audio CD?

If you wish to play an audio CD on the CD-ROM drive of your computer, refer to When using your computer's CD-ROM drive to play an audio CD, or when playing background music for games with the UA-1D. (p. 18).

• Is a digital device such as an MD connected to the digital output of the UA-1D?

Depending on your application, playing audio with a digital device such as an MD connected to the digital output of the UA-1D may cause a certain amount of time to be required for the digital audio output to be locked immediately after playback, so that there will be no sound for one or two seconds. If this occurs, you can use the D-Out Smoother software from the included CD-ROM to make audio play smoothly. For details, refer to Installing and Using the D-Out Smoother (p. 19).

• Are you running multiple applications?

If multiple applications are running simultaneously, an error message may appear. If this occurs, click [OK], and close the other applications.

Even if an application window is closed, it is still running if it remains in the taskbar, so be sure to quit any unneeded applications shown in the taskbar.

• Have you specified the audio data output destination for OS?

The audio data output destination for a computer must be set to UA-1D. For details on this setting, refer to Specifying the audio input/output device (Windows p. 15) or Making the sound settings (Macintosh p. 24).

• Have you specified the audio data output destination for your playback software?

For some software, you must set the audio data output destination as UA-1D. For details on this setting, refer to the owner's manual for the software.

• Have the drivers been installed correctly?

In order to playback audio data using the UA-1D, the USB Audio Device driver must be installed. For details on installation and settings, refer to Connections and driver installation (Windows p. 10, Macintosh p. 22).

• Are the various Volume Control faders raised?

Adjust the volume of each fader as described in Volume Control settings (Windows p. 17) or Making the sound settings (Macintosh p. 24).

Sound is distorted

• Is the volume level of the instrument connected to LINE IN too high?

Use the Line input adjustment slider of the UA-1D to reduce the input level.

■ Noise is heard when playing back audio

1. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click [Display] to open the Display Properties dialog box, and click the [Settings] tab.
2. Click [Advanced] to open properties, and click the [Performance] tab.
3. In Graphics, move the Hardware acceleration: slider to None, and click [OK].
4. In the Display Properties dialog box, click [OK] to close the dialog box. Then restart your computer.

• Noise may be heard if you record and play back simultaneously. If you record and play back simultaneously, the playback may be interrupted depending on the performance of the system, and this may be heard as noise. However since priority is given to recording, the recorded data will not be lost.

• This problem may be solved by properly grounding the chassis of your computer, or the ground prong of the plug on the AC power cord that was supplied with your computer. Also, make sure that there are no devices nearby that emit a strong magnetic field, such as a television or a microwave oven.

• Are a large number of audio devices connected? If a large number of audio devices are connected, noise may occur. Do not connect audio devices that you are not using.

Sound is interrupted during audio playback

Try increasing the memory

You can increase the processing power of your computer by adding more memory. For details on adding memory, refer to the owner's manual for your computer.

• Does your computer fulfill the USB specifications?

The audio may be interrupted if you are using a computer that does not electrically meet the USB specifications. In this case, the problem may be solved if you connect a USB hub that contains its own power supply.

• Are numerous applications running?

If you use numerous applications during playback, or start up another application, the playback may be interrupted depending on your computer system. Exit all unneeded applications, and try again. If this does not solve the problem, try restarting a computer.

Noise is present in the playback or recording

Depending on the virtual memory setting or network-related settings, noise may occur. Please make the following settings before use.

• In "Choose" of the Apple menu, set AppleTalk to "Inactive."

(This setting is not changed as a result of turning off AppleTalk, as requested by OMS when sequencer software is started up. You must change the setting yourself using the "Chooser.")

• In the "Memory" Control Panel, set Virtual Memory to "Off."

• Depending on the way in which you connect to the Internet, use the UA-1D with the following settings.

• If you connect to the Internet via a LAN cable

Use while the LAN cable is connected.

• If you connect to the Internet via the internal modem port, or are not connected to the Internet

In the "TCP/IP" Control Panel, set "Connect via" to "PPP."

After you have made the settings, restart your Macintosh.

• Do not use software that accesses the network (such as a Web browser) at the same time that you are using sequencer software or audio editing software

Noise is present in the recorded sound

• It has been found that noise tends to be introduced in sound recorded on the iMac series models, which were released after the summer of 2000.
• In the SimpleSound application that is included with MacOS, noise will be heard in the sound if it is played back immediately after being digitally recorded. Save the sound first, then try playing it back.
• Update the USB Audio driver to 1.0.5f4.

If the USB Audio driver, which is provided with the Mac OS, is under 1.0.4, update it to 1.0.5f4.

You can download the driver from the URL below:

http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11703

Checking the USB audio driver's version

1. Connect the UA-1D to the computer.
2. From the Apple menu, select [Apple System Profiler].
3. Click the [Devices and Volumes] tab.
4. In the USB section, the screen will indicate "Audio (EDIROL UA-1D)." Click the arrow at the left of this text.
5. The number displayed to the right of "Driver version" is the version of the USB audio driver.

A blank (silent) file is created when you record

• Try setting the bit rate to "16bit."

If you are using Windows98 Second Edition, and your recording software is set to a bit rate of 8 bits, a blank file may be created, so that you may not be able to record effectively. If this occurs, you will be able to record correctly by setting the bit rate to "16 bit".

• Data that contains the SCMS flag cannot be recorded digitally. The UA-1D supports SCMS (p. 27), so that if SCMS-flagged data (such as data from an MD that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD) is input to the digital connector, the UA-1D will not be able to record this on the computer.

Cannot record digitally

• Is the application set to the same sampling frequency as that of the digital device connected to the digital input connector?
• Recording will no longer be possible if you switch the sampling frequency (for example, between digital broadcast A mode and B mode) of a device while it remains connected to the digital input connectors.

When switching the sampling frequency, you need to disconnect, then reconnect the digital cable.

• It is not possible to record digital data of a format other than consumer digital audio device format.

Cannot Record Music CD

• The UA-1D cannot record music CDs in the computer's CD-ROM drive.

The volume changed when you resumed from Suspend or Hibernation status

• When Windows 2000 resumes from Suspend or Hibernation, the output volume setting is changed due to a problem of Windows. Start up the Mixer application as described in Volume Control settings (p. 17), and adjust the USB Audio (Speaker) slider.

Game background music does not sound

• Does the game use an audio CD for background music? If an audio CD is used to provide background music for the game, refer to When using your computer's CD-ROM drive to play an audio CD, or when playing background music for games with the UA-1D. (p. 18).
