Me: Total Noobie

Problem: No sound.

Equipment: E-MU 1212M (card + daughter card)
Pent-D Dual Core / 1024 MB Ram / XP Sp2

Events: Installed hardware, powered up, inserted CD-R from the box, installed drivers only, rebooted.

Installed 1/4" stereo y to the outputs of card, stereo 1/4" to 3.5mm adaptor to that, inserted speaker cable to desktop speakers... no sound. Tried headphones, no sound also.

CTRL PANEL > SOUND > (= this)>
>E-DSP Wave (1000), device volume grayed out, speaker settings grayed out, Audio Tab: sound playback/sound recording/midi music playback = all set to E-DSP device.

Downloaded device driver update from www.emu.com, installed, rebooted... no sound.

Next, went into devices, and disabled the onboard sound card on the MB.

Rebooted.

Nothing... no f'n sound


Emailed EMU, and apparently 4-5 day wait for any assistance.

Can anyone who is laughing to themselves because they know what the problem is please type a response? I am so unable to figure this one out.

I had to buy this overly complex sound card to reduce latency on vocal recordings, and needed WDM driver support... and this was the cheapest one that offered that...

Can't even get my studio software to recognize my audiotechnica mic that's plugged into the 1/4" input in the card directly...

Please help...
