Right i have finally managed to get the download and update my 3DEX software, i was using download load excellerator plus which was causing the problem.
My VCI-100 is now mapped excellently to the software but i am still having a problem using the monitor function. I have selected multi audio, made my internal sound card #1 and the mixvibes usb sound card #2 but when i click monitor the sound just gets louder over the main speakers.
I am just about to wipe and reinstall my laptop as it running like a bag of spanners so i'll be back laters to see what you come up with.
Thanks again
Andy
