Title: Problems with Terratec512 soundcard & Mediator SX
Post by: lyricalbenjie on November 28, 2004, 11:15:41 AM

I am having great problems with using my terratec512 soundcard with mediator SX.
The network card is in  slot1 and works fine, the voodoo3 is in slot 2 and works fine as well.
Because of the lack of space i did put the terratec in slot 4 instead of 3. Then i did install AHI (v4,x) and the sounddriver (SB128)from the
elbox cd rom (first AHI, then the sounddriver). When i type :pciinfo in command prompt, the soundcard is
"seen" by amiga, so far it went great. But then i did install AmigaAmp wich uses the AHI.
This programm "could not open AHI.device, make sure you are using version 4 (i do!)and that preferences are set right".
Now I can only imagine that i did not set the prefs right,what i did is that i did set the AmigaAmp prefs to unit 0 and max 4800hz and in Prefs:AHI i did set unit 0 to max 44100 and later on to 4800,
both cases resulted in the same message ? Can someone help me out here ? Thanks to the Amiga community on forehand, respect to the maximum !

kind regards,

lyrical

p.s. :even though i own several Amiga's and work with them for quite a while,
i am realy totaly new to AHI, this is my first soundcard in an amiga !

Not sure, but why would a Soundblaster driver work with a Terratec card ? Doesn't Terratec make their own soundchips ?

Title: maybe the wrong driver 4 the terratec ?

I realy couldn't tell you. AHI is quite new to me, the card is supported by mediator, but how can i find out if i would need another driver for the terratec?
I will check on the elbox website to get more info..

Rgrs,

You have to use the Terratec512 driver from de MMCD.

Copy fm801.audio from MMCD:Devs/AHI To Sys:Devs/AHI
Copy fm801 from MMCD:Devs/Audiomodes To Sys:Devs/Audiomodes

Thanks a lot ! I just checked and this driver did not come out until
after i did buy my mediator. I will contact Elbox for this driver. Once again,
thanks a lot, i thought i was going nuts over AHI !

With gratefull regards,

I use a Terratec512i in my Amiga too.  It works quite well - even the optical source works on it! I connected a fibre optic cable to my seperate mini disc player and it worked a treat.
