Mix Wiz 16:2 WZ4 USB (32 Bit) ?

[Gibtron]

Hey friends,I bought this Mix Wizard and had the USB 2.0 card installed. To my surprise even though my computer and DAW had no problem recognizing and installing software and everything looked good to go, I found that it would not playback audio . In fact after configuring the ASIO settings in my DAW by the book I was unable to move the play head or arm tracks to record. I know the sample rate could cause these issues. I was wondering if the fact that the Mix wiz card is only capable of 32. I thought this surely must be OK since Allen and Heath are some smart fellows. Surely there has to be a simple answer..or a difficult one. Either way I’d really appreciate some help/advice.
Thanks,

what you mean with “only capable of 32”

If your DAW (wich) is not playing it could not start the ASIO device.

Please, more information

@gibtron

the fine manual says nothing about 32 bit data nor 32 channels
so again exactly what is your real problem?

it does says this about usb data size
Specification
The USB audio option module has selectable sample rates of 44.1kHz / 48kHz / 88.2kHz / 96kHz at

24 bit resolution.

it also says about PC width

Windows Vista 32 & 64 bit
Windows 7 32 & 64 bit
Windows 8 32 & 64 bit

Has anyone used the USB 2.0 card for multi-tracking?It doesn’t send any EQ I’m afraid.It is essentially just a direct out to your DAW. I had hoped for the EQ to be sent to the DAW. I love it for live,Ijust wanted some analog on the front end. If anyone knows more than I do on the subject please let me know. Pretty bummed out.
