So this Friday, I ran SBD > UA-5 > Dell Laptop and I had someone ask if they could run a patch out of the UA-5. Everything I've read and heard tells me I can but only if the UA-5 takes the signal back from the laptop and feeds it out the rca/coax output on the back. I'm running Soundforge 7.0 (but use Wavelab 5 for 24/48 recording). I could not get this patcher a signal for the life of me. I checked all of the switches on the back and it all looked right. Is there something I need to set in the recording software I'm using to send the signal back out of the UA-5? Is there a setting on the UA-5 itself I'm missing to send the signal out? Does the volume knob on the front near the headphone jack need to be turned up to allow for signal passthrough?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
best,

I've patched people out of the RCA's on the back of my UA-5 a few times... never had a problem.

to enable all three outputs opti/coax/usb i believe you need to perform the digimod. w/o the mod i believe you can only select one output.

I don't think this is true at all. Without the digimod, you CAN'T use the opti or coax out without also using the usb. That is why everyone with a UA-5 who doesn;t have a laptop gets the digimod in the first place. I don't have a laptop, so I don't know what the problem is here.

Make sure that the UA-5 is the selected output device (under options, settings, soundcard)
Try setting the recording software to 'monitor' the output (check box on the bottom of the box that pops up when you hit the 'record' button).
I think that should route the digital signal back into the UA-5. You might need to use the ASIO drivers. Even if they're not needed, they would probably place less stress (i.e. bandwidth requirements) on the USB connection.

That's the answer I think I'm looking for. As for the ASIO drivers, do they get installed with the 24bit or the regular drivers or is that a seperate set of drivers downloadable from Edirol? Looking on Edirol's site now. :P

Can't help you there - I never ran ASIO with the UA-5.
