Sound device drivers under Windows XP

[Chrisp2408]

Hi Everyone,

I have been running Parallels for some time now and decided to test the VMWare Fusion product. It looks really good but I seem to have one little issue.

The drivers that are running for the soundcard are the Creative Soundblaster PCI drivers (which in itself is fine), but I need to take a line in and record from an external device and it only seems to want to record from the Microphone input, regardless of what input I tell it to use. - I am using an Intel iMac 24" and don't have the issue with XP under Parallels.

Any ideas please?

Cheers,

Chris Parnell

could you try by installing ‘EnsoniqAudioPCIES1371XPDriver.exe'

Thanks for the response, I will give that a go shortly and let you know how I go.

The installation sees the sound drivers as Creative though, is this not normal?

Cheers, Chris

Hi there,

I tried the drivers that you suggested and it then installs the Creative SB PCI 128 driver, this does not work either.

Thanks, Chris

I have no idea how dependent fusion is on mac settings itself and I agree this may be far fetched, but try setting the input device under OSX system preferences. I think it defaults to microphone so try setting it to line in.

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about the OS X settings and checked them and of course they were as I had left them (i.e. Line in as the default).

The Parallels installation I am running works just fine on the same machine, it is bizarre! -

Cheers,

Chris
