Audiophile 2496, Help me make this thing work! Options

[Haydn]

Has anyone else had trouble using the audiophile 2496?
I found my cd rom to be something close to gobbledygook- - with the icons mentioned in the manual [in the first window] not being there etc.

I am particually having trouble configuring my keyboard into the system.
My cubase works as I can recieve tempo clicks, and have recorded midi,however.I cant for the life of me record live audio data to the sequencer.[from my keyboard]
Where am I going wrong?

Reference to the sound card manuals double dutch drives me insane.

Plaese help if poss.
Have you had similar problems?

Personally I dont think it's the fact that the 2496 is a PCI card. It's the delta control panel coding- it sucks!!

They should re-write the thing from the ground up...

The actual card sounds great though, fortunately.

USB / Firewire vs. PCI isn't the issue here. It's purely the driver/control panel creator's fault! It doesn't matter which interface it's designed for. Bad driver programming is unreliable and time consuming for the end user, period.

I set my 2496 up as illustrated in my first post on this thread, then I simply refuse to load up delta's control panel. If I wish to change the card's settings, I do it directly within TC Spark's own audio prefs, or in Logic's audio drivers page. Once that pig of a delta console is behaving correctly, DONT TOUCH THE #&%+*(&$$#&!!!
