Updating Audio Drivers
When you start the Avid Xpress DV application and you receive this
error message, “Can’t find any audio cards in your system. You will
not be able to play audio,” or you get an exception error
“WIN32MIXER” when you initialize audio, you will need to update
your audio driver to a newer version.
If you have a sound card that you use for audio, go to the sound card
manufacturer’s Web site and look for the most recent audio driver for
Windows 2000 Professional for that card.
If you are using the onboard audio chip in your computer, go to the
computer manufacturer’s Web site and look for the most recent audio
driver for your computer model for Windows 2000 Professional.
Other Audio Applications
To avoid contention over system audio resources, do not start any
other audio application while running the Avid Xpress DV
application. If you want to use a CD-ROM player, use the cdplayer.exe
supplied with your system.
To start the cdplayer.exe:
1. Click the Start button, and then select Run.
2. Type cdplayer.
Using an Audio Mixer
When using an audio mixer with Avid Xpress DV, you should use
shielded audio cables to connect the mixer to your computer. If you
don’t use shielded audio cables, excessive noise might occur in the
audio output during audio scrubbing.
