The Digigram VX1222e is a broadcast quality linear (PCM) multichannel sound cards based on the PCI Express bus interface. It is designed for use in any professional PC-based audio system running under Windows or Linux and requiring up to six stereo analog and AES/EBU outputs, such as live-assist in broadcast automation. The Digigram NP compatible driver; A Wave MME driver; There is no DirectSound and no ASIO driver for these cards. All the drivers for these sound cards are no longer supported. NP Runtime releases notes VERSION 6.52F004 RELEASE NOTES. Audio dropouts can be experienced on some PCs under Windows 7 with discontinued cards supported by NP Runtime.
Digigram, a PC audio interfaces and innovative networked audio devices company, announced recently that three multichannel sound cards of its VX range are now available, including the VX882HR (8/8 I/Os, analog and digital), the VX881HR (digital I/Os only) and the VX822v2 (2/8 I/Os, analog and digital).
Low-latency WDM DirectSound, Wave and ASIO drivers make the trio compatible with a wide range of pro audio software, including those applications pertaining to audio production and post-production, theatrical playback and sound design, multizone audio distribution and broadcast.
The VX882HR with four balanced analog and AES/EBU stereo I/Os and the digital only VX881HR feature 24-bit/192 kHz converters, 66 MHz/64-bit PCI interface, hardware sample rate converters for simultaneous recording of digital signals with different sample frequencies, short-length PCI format and more.

Digigram, an innovator in digital audio network solutions, announced today that it is making available the source code for its popular VX line of professional sound cards under Open Source licensing. The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) driver developers at SUSE Linux AG, Germany, one of the world's leading providers of products and services based on the Linux operating system, will be managing the initial project to port Digigram's drivers to Linux.
The source code of the Mac OS X drivers and driver interface documentation will first be made available through the ALSA Project website (www.alsa-project.org). ALSA, the preferred professional audio driver standard for Linux, is incorporated into the Linux kernel and provides the foundation for several Linux-based audio applications.

'By releasing the source code of Digigram's VX card drivers under Open Source licensing, professional audio quality is enabled for a new community of laptop and desktop users,' said SUSE Vice President of Development Markus Rex. 'Advanced users and programmers who need special functionality can now take matters into their own hands and develop new solutions.'
'There has been strong demand to enable our audio interface know-how for Linux, handheld and other embedded operating systems,' said Digigram Managing Director Philippe Delacroix. 'We are creating professional portability and reliability for applications which until now have not had access to our audio technologies.'
The Open Source licensing of the Digigram VX drivers and the Linux ALSA driver development project, along with the introduction of mpX Platform, a development platform for enterprise audio networks embedding Linux, is progress in Digigram's effort to enable high-quality, high-function audio at all levels: from embedded systems to enterprise networks; from mobile computing to desktop applications.
'The Linux professional audio community is young and a scene of real innovation,' said Delacroix. 'We envision inexpensive Linux desktop systems with studio-quality audio; robust, portable solutions for military and surveillance applications; and handheld medical and scientific audio testing devices with uncommonly high fidelity and functionality.'
