Answer: Yes, and no CPU power is used at all................ Try doing that with an Active Movie

plug in on a P166!!

330 Question: So I can mix and match any effects in any order really?

Answer: Yes, so long as the buss you use has the effect you want in it.

331 Question: Can each audio part have separate effects send levels and dry/wet balance?

Answer: Yes.

332 Question: Can I cascade two DSP Factory cards and an SW1000XG card in one machine?

Answer: Yes, in theory, although the number of PCI slots you would need, taking into account

devices such as SCSI cards and video cards, may be a shortcoming.

333 Question: What is an interrupt, and why do some cards use lots of them?

Answer: On the second part, the only answer to that is bad hardware design as all Yamaha

XG cards and devices have never used more than one IRQ On the first part, this is a quick

insight.An interrupt is a program that is called by a hardware event. For example, each time that

your modem receives a byte from the telephone line, it interrupts the microprocessor.What it

interrupts is the program that is executing. The interrupt for a modem would read a byte from

the modem and store it in a buffer and then pass control back to the program that was

interrupted.Have you ever wondered how you can download a file and still perform other tasks

with your computer? This is accomplished by the interrupt, which only steals enough time from

the computer to transfer one byte from the modem. Without interrupts, nothing in the personal

computer would function efficiently.

334 Question: Will the SW1000XG work on all motherboards?

Answer: All motherboards with at least one buss master PCI slot running at 5v (it does not

support the older 3.3v boards).Some people have experienced difficulties with the TX & high

speed buss range of boards due to voltage level incompatibilities and the buss speed itself.

This is mainly with older ISA cards, and should not affect the SW1000XG.The secret is to

contact your board supplier or manual to check.(As we have not got the specs for YOUR

motherboard here!). So long as your motherboard supports PCI2.1 then no problems should

occur.

335 Question: I have a Matrox Millennium video card and I have sync or clicking problems with

my SW1000XG card. Why is this?

Answer: The Matrox Millennium card will work with SW1000XG if you take care of these two

issues. First, make sure you are using the latest driver from Matrox (check out

http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/drivers/ftp_w95.htm).Next, make sure that in the Matrox

configuration settings, PCI bus retries are DISABLED, as it interferes with other PCI boards that

require low-latency interrupts, like the SW1000XG and the DS2416 card.With these two things

taken care of, you should have no problems with the Matrox Millenium card.

336 Question: Will the SW1000XG and the DS2416 work in motherboards with five PCI slots?

Answer: If you have a motherboard with five PCI slots, beware that sometimes two slots will

share the same interrupt. If you are having problems with SW1000XG and/or any other PCI

devices for that matter, try moving the card that is experiencing problems to another slot.

337 Question: How do I see what is the latest version of the driver for the SW1000XG and

compare this to my own version?

Answer: Go to your device manager, and select ‘Sound Video and Game controllers’. You will

then see the SW1000XG or SW1000XG driver appear. Click on the card icon and select

‘driver’. This will tell you what;version you are using.

338 Question: How can I check the Audio wave playback function in Windows?
