●In the “Custom Setup” window, the “Drivers for the LX6464ESe board” are displayed; by default, both WDM

DirectSound and ASIO LX are installed. ASIO driver installation can be selected/unselected. Next.

●In the “Ready to Install the Program Window”, click on Install to start copying the files.

Note: In case the “Digital Signature Not Found” message appears, click on Continue in the

“Hardware installation” window.

●Once the files have been copied to your disk and the driver has been started, the firmware version of your card

will be checked against the version included in the driver package.

WARNING: if the firmware of your card requires an update, it will start automatically at this stage. The

update is recommended, it ensures optimal performances and rob ustness of the system. The update

MUST IN NO CASE BE INTERRUPTED. If you do so, the card may have to be returned to our After

●The “DirectSound Device Builder application” will prompt you to define your DirectSound devices (for

details, please refer to the application’s online help).

By default, only one DirectSound stereo device is declared (channels 1 and 2). You can declare additional

devices by using the “+” button, then enter the first channel used by this device, the number of channels,

and – under Windows Server 2003 and XP - the name of the device; please use the Windows ‘Sound’

Control Panel to name your devices.

is necessary to reb oot the computer to apply the changes.

●In the “Digigram drivers” window, select the granularity  of the audio data. A granularity of 128 samples

is the default value (recommended). Under DirectSound, selecting a lower value (64, 32) will decrease the

latency, but limits the number of devices that can be used simultaneously without venturing possible

dropouts.

Under ASIO, granularity may be set to 32 samples, as the ASIO driver uses one single 64-channel device

For more details, please see the Control Panel’s online help or the “Performance” section of the

DirectSound Device Builder’s or the ASIO control panel’s online help.
