Are you using media player 10? It can be done, though I have to actually be in the program to remember what I did.

Can you configure Windows media to run with the high end soundcard instead of the default sound card? If so, how would you configure Windows media player to play for example on a Delta 10 by 10?

McCann Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 9:50 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Resolution to CakeTalking Sluggishness Our customer from the U. K., Mike Christer, recently reported an extremely sluggish performance by CakeTalking when he tried to move from track to track or column to column. I'm pasting in my recent response to him to his own post to the MIDI-MAG list from earlier today. I'm very interested to know if any of you who own an FW 1884 have had a need to reinstall the plug-in for SONAR from time to time. It seems that the absence of this plug-in was at the root of the problem although I'm not sure that I understand why for certain. I'm thinking that JAWS and his second soundcard, an Audiophile, were fighting over the rights to use the Audiophile and thus the delay. Obviously, we want to do everything we can to prevent someone else from going through what Mike has experienced. OK, here's that note: ... Thanks for this update, Mike. As Mike knows, I'm delighted that CakeTalking for SONAR 5 is now performing as advertised (grin)! He and I had a good conversation earlier today and it does seem that reinstalling that SONAR plug-in for the TASCAM FW 1884 did the trick. Have any other 1884 users experienced a situation where they have had to reinstall that plug-in? What Mike and I are trying to determine is what can be done to prevent these performance problems from recurring. If I understand correctly, Mike was also trying to get his work done with only one soundcard (his Audiophile 2496 PCI) while his 1884 was being repaired or replaced. That configuration also resulted in sluggish response from CakeTalking. We definitely recommend that SONAR users use two soundcards, one dedicated to JAWS speech and the second dedicated to high-end audio. You specify the high-end card using Options | Audio in SONAR. You specify the card for JAWS speech in the Windows Control Panel under Sounds and Audio Devices. Point Windows to your preferred card for JAWS speech using the dialog under the Audio tab. We recommend that people check the "Use Only Default Devices" in that dialog to prevent Windows from attempting to run JAWS speech through your high-end card. You can go to http://www.dancingdots.com/ctfaq.htm for a detailed explanation. That's our CakeTalking FAQ page. See the heading that says: ". Q: Is it possible to run JFW through my soundcard on my computer while running my music through my external sound card?" Yes, the best endings are happy endings!

Hey CT users! Just to let you know, that my CT5 woes are now a thing of the past! It would appear that after re-installing the Sonar plug-in, which is an integral part of the installation of the Tascam FW-1884 software, that I didn't re-boot my system. By virtue of not doing this little task, that most software asks you to do, post installation, it caused CT5 to behave like the proverbial pig! I realise now, that this is what I should've done, so if any of you FW-1884 guys out there experience the same hell that I did, then beware, if you are using Cake Talking, that this is the way to go! Call me dumb for not thinking that I should reboot, but seeing as the FW-1884 was working fine for the first time in nearly 3 months, I naturally thought that it must bee a glitch with CT5! We live and learn... grin!
