Setting Up the Digital Audio System
There are six basic steps to installing your E-MU system:
1.
Remove any other sound cards you have in your computer.
(Once you are sure that
the E-MU card works properly, your old sound card can be reinstalled if desired.)
2.
Install the E-MU 1010 PCI card in your computer. Go there.
3.
Install the 0202 Daughter Card or Sync Daughter Card (if applicable). Go there.
4.
Connect the AudioDock (if applicable).
5.
Install the PatchMix DSP software onto your computer.
6.
Connect audio, MIDI and synchronization cables between the E-MU system and
your other gear.
Notes for Installation
• IF AT ANY TIME DURING THIS INSTALLATION YOU SEE NO RESPONSE:
Use the Alt-Tab feature to select other applications. One of them may be the
Microsoft Digital Signature warning. It is possible for this warning to appear
behind the installation screen.
•Make sure you have the latest Windows Service Packs from Microsoft
(Windows 2000 - SP 4, Windows XP - SP 1 or higher).
• Disable onboard sound and uninstall all other sound cards. (If you wish to try
using multiple sound cards in your system, do so after you have confirmed that
your E-MU Digital Audio System is operating normally.)
• InstallShield “IKernel Application Error” on Windows XP: When installing this
software on Windows XP, you may be confronted with a “kernel error” at the very
end of installation. This is an issue with the InstallShield program, which is what
we use to install software on your computer. Please do not be alarmed by this, as
the error is innocuous.

•Multiple Digital Audio System sound cards are not supported.
Please read the following sections as they apply to your system as you install the E-MU
1010, paying special attention to the various warnings they include.
Prior to installing the hardware, take a few moments to write down the 18-digit serial
number, which is located on the back of the box and on the 1010 PCI Card. This
number can help EMU Customer Service troubleshoot any problems you may
encounter—by writing the number down now, you’ll avoid having to open your
computer to find it later on.
