Basic Soundcard Config Problem.....I Hope

I have just purchased & installed Adobe Audition 2.0 (Education version). The PC I'm using is a Compaq 1.7GHz  Pentium 4  running Windows XP Pro.
 
This machine has two Soundcard devices:  Audio Science ASI4312 (with 2 stereo outputs)  and a basic SoundMax on-board card.  Both devices are working correctly.  I've used both with an unregistered version of Cool Edit Pro.
 
When attempting to select playback soundcards under >Edit> Audio Hardware Setup   Audition only gives the SoundMax as the default output device.    I have a choice of either cards for Default Input but only the SoundMax for Output.
 
I assume the ASI card is not ASIO capable, I have the latest driver but only the "Audition Windows Sound" is available.
 
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum.

Try using the ASIO4ALL (free) driver. This gets around a lot of problems of this sort, and may well help you.

Hi, will this driver work as an asio driver for the onboard soundmax card,
or did you just mean for the eudio science one... sorry, i find all the soundcard stuff a bit confusing sometimes!

ASIO4ALL provides a driver interface for any card (well, most cards...) that don't have a suitable ASIO driver. There's a reasonably good chance that it will work with both cards, probably simultaneously. It certainly does this on my laptop, with the mobo sound and an external Firewire device, so I don't see why it shouldn't do the same thing with your setup, in principle.

thanks, for some reason i'd assumed i couldn't get an ASIO driver for my
lowly soundmax... really need a better card anyway!

thanks for the help
