[Alsa-user] Cubase vst 32 5.0

[<Wea...@ao...>]

Hi,

I am relatively new  at home studio recording/composition.  I have an SB 
audio PCI 128D sound card that came with my Gateway computer.  I am 
attempting to run Cubase Vst 32 5.0.  At the moment I get no sound upon Audio 
Playback.  The signal is registering visually, but I get no sound.  

One of the messages I get is the following:

"Not all selected devices in the current configuration were successfully 
started with their selected options.  If this card is currently accepted to 
get a digital dignal, and no digital signal is present, please either 
reconfigure the card to use an internal clock or apply a digital signal, or, 
if possible switch the part to accept an analog input. "

In my ASIO multi media setup screen - advanced options My SB audio PCi is 
listed in both the output port and the input port.  The difference is the in 
the output port the Sync ref shows a "no" and the input shows a "Yes". 

Under presets, right now it shows "Custom".  I have tried the options that 
Cubase lists for SB soundcards: either full duplex or half duplex. Neither 
has worked. 

Is this a configuration issue? Or, do I require a more sophisticated SB sound 
card to run programs such as Cubase?   I am looking to establish a 
relationship with a tech support person to actually come to my home studio to 
work out any kinks in my system. Can you suggest a place where I might begin 
to look?

Thanks!
