« Couldn't start NVGate ! »
- Check the path of "NVGate.exe" in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power")
« Connection to NVGate has failed ! »
1. If the NVGate location is = Local:
- Check that NVGate is running. If not, escape from Sound Power and run it again.
- Check that NVGate can start on its side.
2. If NVGate location is = Remote:
- Check that NVGate is running on the remote PC.
- Check that the IP address of the remote PC is correct in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power").
« You don't have the permission to use OROS Sound Power ! »
- Ensure that you are using a dongle that is configured for Sound Power
- Contact your OROS Agent
« Sound Power project not found ! »
- Check the path of "NVGATE.EXE" in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power") and validate (press "OK) in Local. If you are operating Sound Power in a Remote location, copy the "Sound Power" directory from the folder of installation of Sound Power into the default base.
