I have only just installed my new Delta 44 card, really easy and simple. Works fine with Soundcue.. as i expected!
I was hoping however that in soundcue i would be able to use my onboard audio off the motherboard along side the delta 44, to give me a couple additional outputs.
Is this possible or am i stuck with the 2 stereo pairs from the the delta?
Please tell me a way round this, i have 3 pairs i want to run. dress tonight, performance tomorrow!
Any help greatly appreciated.

This may be a problem with your brand of computer. What do you see if you go to the Windows Control Panel / Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices / Sounds and Audio Devices, then click on the Audio tab and click on the down-arrow against Sound Playback Default Device? My guess is that this does not show your on-board sound device.
Another user encountered a similar problem and advised me: "I have contacted the supplier of our computer who informs me that when a sound card is fitted into any PCI slot the sound device on the motherboard is inhibited." So this may be the same issue and the solution is to get another sound card and plug it into a spare PCI slot (or a USB sound device etc). You should then be able to use your Delta 44 and this other sound device. Note that the issue mentioned here is not an SCS error - you would find you cannot address the onboard device with any audio software.

This is what i imagined it would be. I have subsequently tried a PCI based sound card and it shows up fine in both windows and in SoundCue.
I did realise that this was not a soundcue error, i just wondered if someone else, either soundcue user or delta 44 user, has come across an issue like this before. Many thanks for your prompt response.
