1. Introduction to AUDIOTRAK INCA88
Thank you for choosing the AUDIOTRAK INCA88. The INCA 88 is a Multimedia digital audio
device different from other sound cards. You will be amazed at the various and powerful
functions and features of INCA88 when you use it. The INCA88 will satisfy beginners who have
just become involved in digital audio to professional musicians who produce music at a
professional level with its many features and useful functions. Especially, high quality surround
sound will lead you to a true AV experience.
INCA88 adopts the ‘E-WDM’ driver model to provide superior data processing and
compatibilities. Until now, Windows based drivers such as MME, DirectX, and the WDM driver
did not have adequate performance for serious music production. Furthermore, Steinberg’s ASIO
and Nemesys’ GSIF drivers do not support full compatibility. These drivers have caused chaos
for users and the performance varies from driver to driver. Also, the advent of Windows 2000
adds another hardware and software compatibility issue for the users. AUDIOTRAK employs the
E-WDM driver to provide a new solution for users in to take advantage of newer Windows
versions and concentrate on their work, not their system. The INCA88 will lead you to the new
world of E-WDM.
The E-WDM supports MME, ASIO, GSIF, and DirectX taking all the merits of these drivers.
One of its advantages is OS support that ranges from Windows 98 and Windows ME to Windows
2000 and XP thus allowing the user to choose the OS of his or her preference.
The INCA88 delivers high-quality sound from Windows multimedia tools with various
additional features replacing the soundcard in your computer. The INCA88 is capable of playing
games using DirectX, playing back MPEG, MP3, wav files, and playing DVD and Video CDs.
As the Internet becomes more and more popular, multimedia on the Internet is also useful, such
