CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE Thank you for purchasing a Digigram VX sound card. The package consists of the following components: • a VX222e or VX222e-Mic sound card • the User’s Manual at hand. The end user version additionally includes: • two breakout cables (analog and digital) • a CD-Rom with drivers, installation notices, FAQs, etc… • a registration form For the OEM version, the cables are available optionally. FEATURES VX222e and VX222e-Mic are audio cards for PCI EXPRESSTM (PCIe®) bus.
VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual Additional hardware features VX222e-Mic • 1 analog microphone input with - high-quality preamplifier - switchable 48 V phantom power - analog expander/compressor/limiter This input is mixed with the two line inputs before A/D conversion.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Minimum requirements PC with one free PCI EXPRESSTM (PCIe®) slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 or x32). CPU power and memory required depend on the operating system and on the audio application used. Software requirements To use your VX222e or VX222e-Mic, install the driver from the HR Runtime package version 1.70 or higher.
VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual 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.
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. Click on Cancel if the “Found New Hardware” Wizard appears. Double-click on the HR Runtime vxx.msi/HR Runtime vxx.msi for Vista icon to launch the driver installation.
VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual Parameterizing the ASIO and Wave drivers Note: for most current ASIO/Wave applications (e.g. Cubase, Nuendo, Winamp etc...) you have the choice between a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version when installing them under Windows ≥ Vista. For operation with your sound card, make sure to use the 32-bit version! For all sound cards of the VX range, “PCM only” is the only operating mode, therefore this button is disabled in the Digigram control panel (CPL).
Removing the driver under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 • • • • Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Add/Remove Software icon. Select Digigram HR Runtime …, and Change/Remove. Select Remove in the “HR Runtime” window. Follow the instructions to finish the driver removal. Removing the driver under Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 • • • • Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Programs and Features icon.
VX222e & VX222e-Mic User Manual • If the card you have installed is listed: • Right click on the icon of the card. • Select ‘Diagnostics’, and Play Sine. This plays in loop a sine signal on the outputs of the card. You can also select Play file to play in loop a file of your choice (PCM only). If the playback is correct, the card is correctly installed and works. • To stop the playback, right click on the card icon, and select Stop Activities.
The ‘Digigram Hardware Settings’ (‘DHS’) control panel Digigram hardware settings (DHS) is an application allowing to configure the hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications using them. A resource being managed by the DHS application can not be modified by any other applications. To enable an audio application to modify a Digigram card resource, this resource must not be managed by the DHS.
