PCX1221e & PCX1222e User’s Manual Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in handling the board, take the following precautions: Bring the device and everything that contacts it to ground potential by providing a conductive surface and discharge paths. As a minimum, observe these precautions: • • • • Disconnect all power and signal sources. Place the device on a grounded conductive work surface.
D i g i g r a m FEATURES PCX1222e and PCX1221e are audio cards for PCI EXPRESSTM (PCIe®). They are in PCI EXPRESSTM x1 format and can thus be plugged into any PCIe® slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32).

D i g i g r a m PCX1221e and PCX1222e cards run under Windows 2000, XP∗, and Windows Server 2003 ∗ . HARDWARE INSTALLATION The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver. Installing the card Gently plug the card into a free PCI slot and press it down to position it firmly. Tighten the screw. Interrupt and memory address Hardware interrupt and addresses are automatically set up at start-up by the PCI PnP BIOS.
PCX1221e & PCX1222e User’s Manual Please note that, with the DHS installed, controls available through the DirectSound control panel are limited to: • Volume control for input and output • Wave control You may also install the driver without installing the DHS control panel, and in this case more controls available are through the DirectSound control panel: • Volume control for input • Wave control • Monitoring control • Analog input level • Digital input level • Clock selection: AES Sync, AES1, Word Clock
D i g i g r a m Parameterizing the ASIO driver • To use the ASIO driver on your PCX sound card, the option “PCM only” has to be activated in the Digigram control panel (CPL). To access this control panel, go to , , , . Parameterizing the Wave driver • 10 In the case of an application managing exclusively PCM audio, the latency of the Wave driver can be optimized activating the option “PCM only” in the Digigram control panel (CPL).
PCX1221e & PCX1222e User’s Manual Removing the driver under Windows 2000, XP, and Windows Server 2003 • • • • Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Add/Remove Software icon. Select “Digigram HR Runtime …”, and Change/Remove. Select Remove in the np Runtime window. Follow the instructions to finish driver removal.

PCX1221e & PCX1222e User’s Manual The ‘Digigram Hardware Settings’ (‘DHS’) control panel Digigram Hardware Settings (DHS) is an application allowing to configure the hardware resources of Digigram cards for all audio applications using them. This application is installed by default with the driver unless the command line “setup x_topology” has been executed to install the driver. A resource being managed by the DHS application can not be modified by any other applications.
