No Play Device? -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:No Play Device? Posted by: CRNA59 Date:10/7/2004 1:13:24 PM Hi All... O'kay... this has me lost. I have a LynxTWO-B sound card. I have downloaded their Ver 2 drivers which have WDM/ASIO/GSIF capabilities. I am using Sonar/Vegas/Sound Forge. I am using the ASIO drivers in Sonar and Vegas (you can't use both programs the same time with ASIO). Those 2 programs work! When I open Sound Forge, there are no play back devices selected. I go into preferences/wave and under playback/record, the only option is "NONE". I'm using XP Pro and have enable/disabled on-board audio in my BIOS but doesn't work. I go into Control panel/sounds devices/audio and everything is grayed out. Under device manager, the Lynx is working properly. What's going on??? How do you make? Sound Forge use the WDM drivers?? Thanks, Bruce

Subject:RE: No Play Device? Reply by: CRNA59 Date:10/7/2004 3:05:13 PM Thanks for the responses. I did confirm that the WDM driver is installed. Under the Driver file details I found: D:\WINDOWS\system32\wdmaud.drv and also the LynxWDM.DLL I used SF 7 when I had my Delta 1010's and it worked perfectly. Thanks, Bruce
Subject:RE: No Play Device? Reply by: CRNA59 Date:10/8/2004 9:54:56 PM I am happy to say that after all day trying I have found the problem and fixed it. Sound Forge is working perfectly in sync with Sonar. The problem?? I've tweaked this PC to no end. In my "msconfig" I had chosen "Selective Startup" because I had disabled a lot of services and startup menus. I clicked on "Normal Startup" and everything came back on. I then went back into my services and disabled the ones I didn't need and the Lynx card and drivers are rock solid. Thank-you for all your time in trying to troubleshoot this. I will swear by Lynx Technologies and your tech support. These other manufacturers have a lot to learn. Regards, Bruce
