PCX1221HR & PCX1222HR User’s Manual Software requirements To use your PCX1221HR or PCX1222HR, install the driver from the np Runtime HR package version 1.01 or higher. This package includes: • a Digigram np driver enabling OEM applications to best capitalize on the HR boards • a WDM DirectSound driver. Microsoft DirectX 9 or higher must be installed on your computer • a Wave driver (installation optional).
D i g i g r a m Installation under Windows 2000 and XP 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. • Shut down your computer and insert your PCX card. • Restart your computer. • Click on Cancel if the Found New Hardware Wizard appears. • Double-click on the setup.
PCX1221HR & PCX1222HR User’s Manual Parameterizing the Wave driver • In the case of an application managing exclusively PCM audio, the latency of the Wave driver can be optimized activating the option “PCM only” in the Digigram control panel (CPL). With this option enabled, the latency of the Wave driver is optimized (in this case the PCX HR onboard MPEG encoding/decoding is disabled). To access this control panel, go to , , , .
D i g i g r a m How to check the installation Once the driver and the cards have been installed according to the procedure described in this manual, you can verify that the card is properly set up and works fine as follows: • The card is visible under the DirectSound interface: Menu , , , , tab “Audio”, Default device (Playback device, Recording device).

PCX1221HR & PCX1222HR User’s Manual DIRECTSOUND CONTROL PANEL Some parameters of the PCX1222/PCX1221HR cards (such as volume, balance, mute, clock selection, input selection…) can be adjusted from the Windows DirectSound volume control panel. Note: Keep in mind that there are no analog I/Os on PCX1221HR! Whenever reference is made to these inputs or outputs in the following chapters, it refers exclusively to the PCX1222HR.
D i g i g r a m Balance, Mute, and Volume can be adjusted for: • The device output (Volume control): Volume and Balance use the analog output gain; Mute is digital. • The stream coming from the application (Wave): Windows applies all controls to the digital stream coming from the application. • The Monitoring: the controls use the cards’ digital output gains.
PCX1221HR & PCX1222HR User’s Manual Recording controls To adjust the recording parameters, open the Volume Control application, go to the Options menu, and select Properties. Select the mixer device you want to control, and select “Recording” in the “Adjust volume for” area. In the “Show the following volume controls” section, select the controls you’d like to adjust.
