Lexicon Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Make sure you verify that your computer meets the requirements for the Omega. I have one of these and it installed on an XP with no problem.

Maybe you have Vista instead of XP. OFTEN there are incompatibilities of Vista. If you have that or heaven forbod Windows 7, you may either need a different WDM or have to backstep to the XP operating system.

In short, VERIFY the requirements of teh Omega and its software with the OS and system you are trying to install it on.

A last thing to try is to install it while in "SAFE MODE".

Make sure the disk is for version 2.5 if you are using Vista. You can download it from the web.

Here is the support site for downloads:http://www.lexiconpro.com/product.php?id=7#downloads Hope this helps.

See if this info here will help you:http://www.lexiconpro.com/knowledgebase.php?product=7 Let me know if this helps.

Leopard OS-X has issues with usb audio recording devices.

Verify if it is ACTUALLY a switch, as CTS probably doesn't make a 16 position rotary switch.

The device MAY be a 16 position/detent ENCODER.

See this site:

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll

Many devices no longer use switched contacts but use up/down counters and encoders to select and even used as gain controls. Yes, the reason is economics.

the most likely cause of this is that the laser lens or laser is defective or the circuit that controls the Disc read is defective, in any event the cost to repair it will exceed the cost to replace it, the shop rate for this type of problem is $80 per hour just to look at it, then u have to do the repair, so u end up with a bill that exceeds a new DVD player, i always advise customers against repair and just buy new unless it is a very expensive unit and is nearly new.

I have access to the Lexicon service guys, but will need a bit more info to assist in tracking this down.

1) Have you noticed any pattern to when the unit fails. In other words, does it tend to fail more readily after being on for a while, or is it consistant in behavior regardless of time?

2) Does the volume level of the unit change the total time before failure?

3) If you uinplug the unit for 1/2 and try using it, does the behavior change?

Please update this with the answers and also, if you could post what has already been done by the service center, that would help as well.
At this point, I would be suspicious of hte 5V line and/or the microprocessor internal controls. I'll research this a bit and try to get you more details as well.

Thanks,
Dan

I'm having the same problem with mine. I realize you made this post 1 1/2 years ago, but have you found a solution in the mean time? Thanks!

You'd be better directing your uestion here

That's because it's not there. Windows does not install this icon. If you want it, click on "Start" (lower left corner of your screen), then select "programs", then "accessories", then "entertainment" then right click on "sound recorder" and chose "send to desktop". You will then have an icon for the sound recorder.

I would contact Lexicon first ...These are VERY complex units

I used to work there

Forget the wizard. Put the diver disc in that came with the lexicon. If all fails take it all out and start again after rebooting. Make sure you have a faster processer and plenty of ram.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you have installed xp drivers and software instead of vista software the vista software can be downloaded from the lexicon Lambda website.

Check for ground loops.

You MIGHT be able to cut the noise by setting the EQ's to clip the highs.

If you are trying to set it up on a new computer it probably has Winsows Vista. The older cd is probably setup for Windows XP and below. You should be able to download the Vista installation package & drivers from the manufacturers website. Just click the Support link and lookup your specific model #; select Vista as the operating system and the files should appear. Download and Install and you should be all set. Hope this helps.
