You should now see a message saying ‘
Installation was successful.
’ Press
Restart
. It may be a good idea to turn down your mixer at this point, as
there can be some noise when restarting.
During restart, the red Echo Extensions Icon should appear on the lower left
corner with your other extensions. If you don’t see the red icon, check to see
if there is a space for that icon. Some video cards for the Mac have a
problem where they repaint the screen, hiding our little icon from sight.
However, the space will still be there for the icon. This does not affect the
performance of the Darla system. There should be one icon for each Echo
Card in your computer. If this is not the case, then the card probably isn’t
being recognized by your Mac. Shut down your Mac, and make sure the
card is seated properly in the PCI slot. Go back to the hardware installation
section for instructions on how to do this.
After the system has booted, go into
Sound Control Panel
and make sure
that the card is there. You can do this by double clicking the handy alias you
created earlier. Look in Sound In and Sound Out. If you don’t see it here,
you may not have installed the card properly.
Darla Audio Input & Output Devices
Now do a quick sound check. First, go to the
Echo Card Folder
you
installed earlier. Open it and double click the
Echo Console
icon.
***WARNING
-
IMPORTANT***
This will set the Darla hardware to unity gain. You will need to do this after
every restart or else the Darla volume levels will be extremely loud. Don’t
hurt your ears!! Now go into
Sound Control Panel – Sound Out
and
select Darla. Now select
Alert Sounds
. Make sure the volume levels aren’t
too high, and click a sound. If you have the Darla hardware set up properly
to a set of speakers, then you should hear the sound. If you don’t, then
double check your cables and try again. If you hear a sound then you have
succeeded in installing Darla!! Give yourself a pat on the back.
Important - remember to switch
Sound Out
back to Built-In!!!
