Scope installed but disabled

The driver installed correctly but Windows reports that the audio device (not driver) is disabled and I can't see any output on my BMC-2.

hard to tell what's going on without any context...
Scope 5 works well even under Win7/64 (with a few exceptions of old devices that haven't been amended)
it does NOT work well with several new chipsets that freak out the PCI bus.
That's why some folks stay on older hardware.
I both XP and Win7/64 and don't really see any fundamental improvement for what I need the system to do.
Which is not music production but database stuff and developement in the media asset management domain.
The is a bigger memory footprint... sure, but if an app demands > 1 GB to run at all then it's written crappy.
I'm not working for Amazon or Google after all...
and I'm not cutting Hollywood movies
cheers, Tom

hi astroman
I just thought I'd see if the driver would install and if Cubase would use it as an audio (ASIO) device however, not only did Windows 7 see it as disabled, I suspect at the audio device or UAA (not driver) level but no SPDIF signal is even generated.
Nothing is for free I guess!
Also there was absolutely no i/o present in cubase

it's probably most easy if you collect the information from your threads under this one
(looks like they all relate to the same 'trouble' installing an SRB card on it's own)
as you have another card with IO, the following might happen:
while booting Windoze detects all cards in sequence - the first one is a assigned a 'master' status by the Scope software
if this happens (by chance) to be the SRB, it might 'hide' the other card.
you can switch the cards in their slots or edit a line in cset.ini - whatever you prefer
cheers, Tom

I did read about multiple cards, very nice (manual that is)
Anyway, I will most likely get 5.1 because if I use Paypal it will be classified as goods, regardless but I believe I can trust S|C to deliver.
