[Dx4win] Second Sound Card for PSK31

[Joe Giacobello]

This is an old thread, but I have just gotten around to trying to get a 
second sound card working.  Unfortunately, I have not been successful.

I am trying to use an external (Audigy) USB sound card together with an 
internal card integrated with my mother board.   I would like the to use 
the external card for digital modes and the internal card for other 
audio applications.   I have selected "0" for my digital sound card in 
the DX4WIN Control menu as suggested below.  However, unless I specify 
the external sound card for both "record" and "playback" in the "Audio" 
menu of the "Sounds and Audio Devices" section of the XP Control panel, 
the external card will not function in the digital modes.  When the 
external card is so specified, the internal card does not function even 
though I have selected it in the "Voice" menu of the "Sounds and Audio 
Devices" section.

I have tried various combinations of these options, but I can't get both 
cards working simultaneously.  I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on 
what I might be doing wrong here.

(BTW, I have observed than when one makes a change in the sound card 
selected in the DX4WIN Control menu, the PSK31 window must be closed and 
reopened before that change takes effect.)

73, Joe
