I am really unhappy with Media Center. I use Ableton Live which is a
recording/sequencing program.
I have an external guitar multi-effects box which connects via usb.
The effects box functions as an external sound card using asio drivers.
Unofrtunately XP Media Center does not support this.
Does anyone have any idea about how to get around this problem so I don't
have to wipe my hard drive and buy a copy of XP Pro?
Here is the message I got from the manufacturer of my external device.
"Windows XP MCE is not a supported OS for our devices. Microsoft states in
the manual for Windows XP MCE that third-party sound devices are not
supported, only the built-in motherboard sound device or card that
originally
came with the system. This does not mean that our devices will "absolutely
not work", but it does mean that we cannot support the use of our products
on
systems that have MCE installed. Because many Windows Media Center PC's
will
only support one sound card at a time, most likely what you will need to
do
is disable your on-board soundcard and see if your USB device will now
install and work properly. Also, try other USB ports on your machine.
If these troubleshooting techniques do not work, we will not be able to
support you further. If you are able to use a regular Windows XP machine,
we
will be happy to assist you."
So my external USB Soundblaster Extigy that is connected to my Home Theater
and currently blasting sound throughout my house is really not working?!?!?
Your vendor is full of SH**. They are absolutely LYING to you to hide the
fact that they are too STUPID to make it work. It is usually a TRIVAL
change because they have likely hardcoded the check for home and/or pro.
Call them back and challenge them. THEY'RE LYING.
