  • a WDM DirectSound driver
• a Wave driver * (32 bits, installation optional)
• an ASIO driver (32 bits, installation optional)

Supported operating systems

VX222e and VX222e-Mic cards run under Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS ^™ bus connector and the resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against transporting the card(s) installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case provides a dedicated support to keep the card securely in place in order to avoid physical damage.

The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver.

Installing the card

Gently plug the card into a free PCIe ^® slot and press it down firmly to position it. Tighten the screw.

Interrupt and memory address

Hardware interrupt and addresses are automatically set up at start-up by the PCI PnP BIOS.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Note: the installation of the software requires administrator rights on your computer

Please visit the Digigram web site at www.digigram.com for the most recent driver.

In case you run a specific application developed or installed by a Digigram partner, it might require the use of a specific driver version. In this case, make sure that the updated driver has been approved by your supplier.

Standard installation under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista

If the driver has been downloaded from our web site, it has to be expanded prior to the driver's installation as follows: double-click on the downloaded file (self-expanding). You can use the default destination location (Windows temporary folder) or select another directory.

Important note: this default procedure installs the 'Digigram Hardware Settings' control panel. This application allows the configuration of the hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications. The DHS allows for instance to define the clock of the card, the input source, input and output analog and digital gain, Sample Rate Converters, digital output format, etc...

Please note that, with the DHS installed, controls available through the DirectSound control panel are limited to:

• Volume control for input and output
- Wave control

Under Windows XP, and Server 2003 you may also install the driver without installing the DHS control panel, and in this case more controls are available through the DirectSound control panel:

• Volume control for input
- Wave control
• Monitoring control
- Analog input level
- Digital input level
- Clock selection: AES Sync, AES1, Word Clock
• Digital output format: professional, consumer

To do so, install the driver with the command line: "setup x_topology" (not available under Windows Vista). For detailed information, please refer to the dedicated document on our web site.

• Shut down your computer and insert your VX card.
• Restart your computer.
