[Dx4win] SignaLink USB

[Joe Giacobello]

Mel and others, I have had an almost identical problem.  I am using an 
external USB sound card for the digital modes, and I had wanted to also 
use the internal sound card on my motherboard for DX announcements and 
other computer applications.  I tried any number of settings in the 
control panel 's SOUNDS menu in which either the internal card was 
declared, the external card was declared or one was declared for voice 
and the other for audio and vice versa.  I could never get both cards to 
work simultaneously.  I finally gave up and use the external card for 
the digital modes and forgo all other computer sound sources. 

The external card is declared in the control panel and I have selected 
card number 0 in the DX4WIN preferences.  If I declare the internal card 
in the control panel, then it works and the external card doesn't even 
when I switch DX4WIN to card 1 for the digital modes.  It's been a long 
time since I played with these parameters, so my recollections are now a 
little dim, but if anyone has any suggestions to get them both working, 
I'd sure like to hear about them.

73, Joe
