My dog XP soundcard !

Have a Julia soundcard and XP. XP tells me a Multimedia Device is missing drivers but it won't accept the disk - says theres nothing there that's relevant. Windows volume panel shows Juli@12 (2 channel) in the corner but I cannot find any sw on the computer. The soundcard is meant to have it's own mix panel but it doesn't come up.

If I delete the Multimedia device , on restart XP finds it but won't accept the disk.

where to go from here...

The soundcard works but without it's panel options I can't adjust things like sample rate,etc...

Is it possible the Multimedia device XP finds is something else...

Is this new hardware? Did it ever work?

Nice card BTW!

Did you disable your on-board audio in the BIOS?

I would say yes that the Multimedia device that XP finds is on-board.

What are the listings in the Device Manager under Sound... etc.

Can you run the Juli@ disk outside of a driver prompt? In other words with the system started and running can you load this CD?

It works now - but only under windows volume panel.

With it's own interface volume panel (mixer) there are config options ..sampling rate, latency that I have no access to until I can load it properly.

Device Mgr just lists Multimedia Device with drivers not loaded but it won't accept the drivers and if I delete the Multimedia Device and let XP find it - it still won't accept it - see attached pic.

Not sure about whether the onboard audio is disabled in the BIOS.

I would check your BIOS Setup and disable on-board audio.

Also when you get that XP message choose: Don't prompt me again and Finish. Then insert the CD and see if you can load the software.

By asking if it ever worked I meant did it ever work as it is supposed to or is this new hardware?

I've had it about 3 months and it wouldn't work with Win Me I had then so have just sorted my other programs with XP and came to it.


Jephree you were right - the BIOS now has the onboard soundcard disabled and all the Juli@ stuff is showing in Device Manager.

However I still don't have the Juli@ mixer panel and so can't access the settings it allows ... sampling rate, latency...

I am trying to use this as in-out testing for external audio equipment with the RMAA audio analyser (freebie) but the result graph jumps all over .. I think its a sampling or latency issue ..... something I can't adjust without the Juli@ volume (mixer) panel.

Can you insert and open the Juli@ CD within XP?

Not at any prompt or startup but just insert the CD and see if you can open it.

Hi Jephree,

Yes I can open it and explore the contents.

It seems to be working but without a mixer panel which gives me access to the settings.

I deleted the Julia components from Device Mgr and reloaded it from the CD but still no mixer panel. Only the windows vol controls.

In exploring the contents do you find a specific folder or file dealing with the mixer panel? This is what I was hoping for. Perhaps finding a mixer panel folder with a setup.exe within that you could run.
