Installed the Maya44 USB card, driver says it was found, and is working properly, but no sound out from Media Monkey. I got a CD with Cubase on it. Do I need this? I now read there are issues with Vista. Help please.

Update. Windows Media Player runs it beautifully. Is there a box I should tick somewhere? Has WMD hijacked my soundcard? :confused: :confused:

Do I have to use some dedicated DJ software, like Vectis suggested OTS ( I think )

Hold the front page! I may have got it! When MM has finished reading the tracks again, I have told it to speak to the Maya, as opposed to the internal card. :doh: Let's hope.

My Maya44 set-up easily but it was idiot proof (thank goodness) with XP and PCDJFX.
Although it could do with being a tad louder.:rolleyes:

Sadly I'm using neither of those, but I am using an idiot!

I think MM has gone silly on the laptop. The PC running XP works faultlessly. The laptop won't stick and play a track, it just keeps scrolling. Two different HD's do exactly the same. It's the lappy at fault, I've put it into compatability, but to no avail. Any thoughts? Any ( DJ? ) programs which would read MP3's ? :confused: :confused: :confused: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Well thanks a lot chaps. Anybody remember telling me to get the expensive all singing all dancing rolls royce best of the bunch Maya? Guess which soundcard kills Media Monkey? Got it in one!! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

At least I can still use the lappy now, with the internal sound card.

Presumably you need something like PCDJ --thats what Dave Dragonfly uses with the Maya.

I used my laptop with onboard sound card as back up and it sounded ok.

Anyway the Cortex wont let you down-I had another stonking gig last Sunday with mine:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

Thank you for that advice and vote of confidence. I don't really want a DJ programme, as MM is exactly what I want. I'd rather have a workround which lets me use what I've already got. ( And I can't afford anything else!!! This Digital game is expensive. :( :( ) Full blow by blow report of the first gig with the new setup tomorrow.

As a backup I think the onboard soundcard is sufficient. Mediamonkey is a great program, I think I would have struggled switching to digital without it.

Good luck !!!!!!!!

I too am delighted with MM, and agree totally. It's just that I'm a lot peeved at shelling out a fair amount of money for a high grade soundcard, which I can't use with my program of choice.

Windows found the card, and installed without referring to the installation CD, so I guess that's what happened? :confused:
