[hpsdr] Win 7 64bit and VAC???

[John]

Thanks for the info Neal.

Do I want to end up with default devices being VAC cables after the PC 
is booted?  Should I just reboot and not do anything to the sound 
devices?  The sound devices affect the input and output connections 
available in Hermes and JT65-HF.  I can connect up the new PC and add 
some more VAC cables and see if they end up as default devices.

My motherboard has a built in sound card and so I have no instruction 
book!  However, there is a program that has to do with setting up fancy 
speaker arrangements and maybe there is info on it on the CD that came 
with the motherboard (Asus Z87A).

73,
