I have done extensive research on this problem in many different forums and support sites on the internet and have found no one in my situation who has come to a resolution. I'm hoping someone can help me.
The sound card I use is the RPC-1 from Midiman. (I have updated the drivers to the latest version made for Windows XP.) This was included as part of the Roland Studio Pack from the Roland Corporation. This package also included the VM-3100 Pro digital mixer and allows for the recording of up to 8 mono (or 4 stereo) tracks into the computer at once. It is a great value for use in the home studio and I know many would benefit by being able to use it with Vegas.
My problem is that I cannot record multiple tracks any more into Vegas through this sound card. I used it to record multiple tracks without problems when I used Windows Millenium Edition. I have a new computer now, however, and no longer have access to WinME. I REALLY need this aspect of Vegas to work with this sound card, or I'm going to be forced to go to different software. I do not want to do this as I have been a long-time, dedicated user of Sonic Foundry products.
I still can record one stereo track (or 2 mono) at a time with no problems. However, when I attempt to arm a second track to record, I get the following error message: "An error occurred while recording. An unsupported media type was requested." Clicking the details button shows the following information: "The record device Roland RPC-1 5/6 does not support the current input format."
I also tried to do this with Vegas 2.0 LE and got the following details: "Record device does not support the current input format."
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've contacted Compaq, Roland and Midiman but no one can figure out what is wrong here. I really need this to work. This is our only means of bringing audio into our computer and we use this setup for our business. Any assistance that can be offered will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
