Hi.
I have recently bought an Alesis multimix16 usb2.0 sound card, it wasn't cheep at £600, but I am expieriencing problems intergrating it in to my PC and audio applications.
Firstly, it won't stay selected as the default sound card within any of my audio apps, this is frustraiting and requiers me to re-select it in all my apps every time I open one of them (this is not how other sound cards normally work) Once a sound card has been assigned as the default sound card of any audio aplication, it should remain that way.
When this sound card has been selected as default within an audio app and the app is booted, the apps seem to be reverting to the "Primary sound driver" even though they display the Alesis multimix as being selected and in use it is not! I am trying to dissable the Primary Sound Driver as I believe it is this that is causing conflict with the Alesis Multimix somehow stopping audio apps from initialising using this card.
I have set the default audio setting in my device manager to use the Multimix as default but this hasn't solved the problem either.
The Alesis drivers are very good and have an extreemly low latency of 2 ms I would like to set the Alesis multimix sound card as the Primary sound drivers for my PC, but it looks like this is not possible as I cannot remove or alter the PC's onboard audio, I have been through the Bios and looked for onboard sound enable/disable but there is only HD adio, which when dissabled does not effect the Primary audio device, nore remove any of the onboard audio drivers.
What can I do, I have tried everything, I have re-installed the drivers on the motherboard, still no onboard audio shows up on the bios other than HD Audio, I have reset all the usb ports and re-installed all of my audio drivers and software including the Alesis umpteen times, I have even re-installed the OS Twice! Nothing is helping, Apps will still not Boot with the Alesis as Defailt and I canot remove the primary audio device from my PC nore it's drivers.
Regards Richie.
