Hi there Barry
First, make certain your VS-20 is connected to your PC using the USB lead
before you open HS7. Now open HS7 and select
Options>Controllers/Surfaces - if HS7 has 'found' your VS-20, it will appear in the list. If it isn't there, click on the
Add New button (the yellow 'star' on the right of the screen) and select it. Now select it in both the
In Port and
Out Port fields.
Next, run the Wave Profiler if you're in WDM mode; if you're using the ASIO drivers, first change your Audio Driver Mode to WDM (in
Options>Audio>Advanced) and the Profiler should run automatically (I'd then recommend switching back to ASIO).
Now, in
Options>Audio>General check the VS-20 is listed as the Playback/Recording Device, and also that the drivers have been assigned on the
Drivers options tab. If it isn't listed anywhere, selcet it from the drop-down list.
To use the VS-20 as your audio interface, you must use the audio outputs on the unit itself, otherwise, if you want to monitor off another device, or your computer's audio outputs, you'll have to deselect the VS-20 when you're not recording.
If this hasn't worked both to set the VS-20 as controller and soundcard, the only other thing I can think of Barry is that you might need to disable your PC's onboard soundcard to 'force' the use of the VS-20.
To do this, you'll need to open your computer's
Device Manager and expand
Sound, Video and Game Controllers - you will see all the audio devices connceted to your PC (including the VS-20) listed.
Assuming they're both/all enabled, right click on your PC's soundcard and select
Disable (
not Unintstall!) - then repeat for any other devices
except the VS-20.
Hopefully that should get you going mate.
