Access Virus and M-Audio soundcards
View this Thread in Original format

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble connecting my access virus c to my computer. I have already emailed access support if anyone asks.

Anyway, when attempting to open the soundiver the program is having trouble finding the virus. I keep getting the message 'no new devices found' and possibly one about a MIDI error or a 'SysEx communication error'.

- The cabling is correct

So I emailed access and the response I got was that:

"Sorry, but I have overseen you're using an M-Audio
Interface. Unfortunately M-Audio interfaces in general will have problems with SoundDiver (at least most of them including
the 2496). Apart from that Emagic never released a Windows XP optimized version of SoundDiver, since they dropped the PC support for that before Windows XP was out".

Is this the likely reason? Has anybody else had problems with M-Audio Audiophiles and virus's?

What should I do?
Is a new soundcard really required?

Thanks a lot

i stopped using my 2496 because it's SUCH an old card. it was freezing out my sonar and then i had problem's w/ my virus b. i've now switched to Echo MIA MIDI and have had no problems since + echo's customer service has been awesome

When I used sounddriver with my virus c and M-audio delta 66 I had same problems. After I switched to RME soundcard, the sounddriver works perfect. I have no problems at all. It just works..

holy , so that could be the problem? Cause me and member Loock have the exact same problem, soundiver dont work...and we both have m-audio cards and virus C
JVH
So what are your exact problems?
Can you get any sound at all?

I've been using a 24/96 and my Virus C for a few years now, no problems at all.

I also use SoundDiver 3.0 and SoundDiver Virus.

Occasional (ie: rare) issues that require exit and restart of SoundDiver, but apart from that all good.

well I have a virus Classic desktop and the audiophile 2496 I havnt had any sort of problems. I was just wondering what the problem is specifically? I have been thinking about getting a new sound card but never really knew what a "Good" one does.... in any case maybe i can be of some help..
