Hi,
I have been spending the last 48 hours figuring out my system, and
am just about ready to tourch it with a flame thrower. Here goes:

(Sounds boring but) I am trying to record some audio from my SB Live! (Value)
Line-In jack (blue thingy), routing via the KX DSP and into a stereo audio track
in Cubase SX 2.

I am rather sure the card is damaged,since I did all the following:

1. New cables from D-50 synth direct into SB Live! Line In
2. In KX Mixer (AC97 tab): The pull down menu is set to Line In,
All other inputs are muted (besides the Line In...)
3. In KX Recording tab: All bottom row inputs are muted (besides Line In).
Line In set to unity gain
All top row record levels set to 100 (just to be sure)
4. In's & Out's tab: All bottom row inputs are muted (Besides Line In)
Top row SPdif's and Headphones -Muted too.
5. In the DSP window: Prolog inputs 1 & 2 (AC97) were routed over and over to
ALL the ASIO ports (in pairs, starting with 0 & 1).
************************************************** *************
-- At this point I hooked up the PEAK VU utilitie's input to the PROLOG 1 & 2
outputs - but got NO SIGNAL on the "LEDs". Reason leads me to believe
that under normal conditions - the meter should show something! --

-- Also, I tried a MINIMAL DSP setup with only the PROLOG and EPILOG modules,
same stuff: no input! --

************************************************** *************
6. In Cubase SX2: Project > Project Setup is set to 48 kHz, @ 24 bit.
Devices > Device Setup > VST Multitrack is set to
kX ASIO with a latency of 21.333 ms.
Respectivly, all VST Inputs and Outputs can "see" the
16 kX ASIO ports. So all seems fine up to now.

Devices > VST Connections - Inputs and outputs are properly
hooked up to ASIO pairs (I use only 1 stereo pair).
And yes, I re-routed the inputs each time I tried a consecutive
AC97-to-ASIO pair in the DSP.

Note: Audio output from within Cubase sound fine, using a few VSTi's.
Also noproblem with MIDI routing or VSTi latency.

Finaly, I set up a single audio"test" track to see if anything works.
The track is "listening" to the Stereo input, It is in "Record Enable"
mode and I messed around with toggling "Monitor" on and off.

In the Mixer window I have 3 strips: Stereo Pair In, The Actual
track I want to record and Buss1 out.
VU meter is set to "Input VU".

BUT I AM GETTING NO SIGNAL.

Ideas? Help, or should I just buy a $1,000 sound card...

Thanks.

Thanks but I have tried this suggestion and it has no efffect.

re-reading ur post makes me think you may have a damaged card unfortunately… if possible try testing in with the original creative drivers and in another machine

Uninstalled, Checked with updated Creative drivers - Was OK, Uninstalled them, and installed the "stable" version of kX drivers. Now Cubase works GREAT but I have a new problem, whicj will get its own thread. Thanks!
