Lately when I have my TTM57 connected (SSL running) to the laptop and start "KueIt", I get an error message that says the sound card can't be found/detected. So I close up everything and start up KueIt and then start SSL it freezes. I wait for it to unfreeze and it doesn't. I close KueIt and SSL kicks in. Same thing happens when I'm listening to Windows Media Player and try to start SSL. It's like they are competing for a sound card? I'm not a computer newb but I'm not a TECHIE either so if that last comment was wierd, that's just how it seems? Help?

Sounds to me like windows is trying to use the TTM 57 as a soundcard.
Not sure if you're on Vista or XP

XP:
Make sure your 57 is plugged in to the USB and SSL is closed.
Open sounds and audio devices in control panel
click the audio tab
Change the default playback and recording devices to your onboard soundcard not anything to do with the 57

Vista:
Make sure your 57 is plugged in to the USB and SSL is closed.
Open sound in control panel
click the playback tab
select your onboard soundcard
click set default
click the recording tab
select your onboard soundcard
click set default

Yep, just to recap what nospangle said:

Basically you can not use KueIt to playback samples via the TTM57's soundcard while SSL is running.

worked like a charm. thanks Nob & Nick...sounds like an internet-radio title for tech show?
