Having read the looong list of questions I posted yesterday in a thread called PowerSampler 1 questions I thought it would be easier to read/reply if I split all those questions into shorter, more relevant posts :smile:

Do I have to load SFP and set up its routing just to use PS1 as a standard Windows soundcard to play Windows system sounds, .wav player/recorder, mp3 player etc. etc?

Can the PS1 be used as a standard Windows soundcard in this way?

In Control Panel/Sounds & Multimedia/Audio I see two choices for Sound Playback & Recording - Creamware Play/Rec 01 and 02.

Am I right in thinking that Play/Rec 01 would select the analogue In/Out and Play/Rec 02 would select the SP/DIF In/Out?

If I select either and click on Volume it gives the error "There is a problem with your sound hardware. You may install mixer devices from the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard in the Control Panel"
If I click Advanced I get another error "DirectSound settings not available"
Either way I get no standard Windows mixer available nor Volume Control in the Tool tray.

I guess no mixer appears because it wants to use its own in SFP so that might be the answer to my first question above! :lol:

Any hints and advice would be most welcome.

Thanks & regards,
