ST AUDIO DSP3000 M-Port (DSP24 + ADC&DAC3000)
Setting up Cakewalk SONAR 1.3.1
Cakewalk SONAR is the first popular audio software that uses special features of the new WDM
driver model by Microsoft that was introduced with Windows 98 SE. Other operating systems that
support WDM are: Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Older versions of Windows
(NT 4.0, 98, 95) do not support WDM drivers. This means that it is strongly recommended to use
the WDM drivers. SONAR will also work with the MME interface of the VXD drivers (Windows
9x/Me) but the performance will not be very good. Please also note that it is strongly
recommended to use at least version 1.3.1 of SONAR. You can get free updates for the software if
you use an older version. Last but not least, the performance under Windows XP is noticably
better compared to the other Windows versions according to our tests.
After launching SONAR, please click on Options > Audio to open the Audio Options dialog. All
important settings related to the audiocard are made in this dialog. When you launched SONAR
for the first time, you have been prompted to launch the Wave Profiler. If you have not completed
this before, please click on the Wave Profiler... button now and follow the instructions on screen.
Please go to the Drivers section.
Separated into input and output
devices, you can select the wave
devices you want to use for recording
and playback. These lists will show
the devices of all soundcards that are
installed in your PC.
Please check these issues when you
are selecting the devices:
" do not select ADSP24 Int. Audio
Device for recording or playback
" please do not select devices from
other soundcards if present
" select ADSP24 Ext. SPDIF
Device only if you need to use the
digital output (for playback) or
the digital input (for recording)
Now move to the General section. Please make the following settings:
