Okay. Great advice. (Samson could have made it as clear as Scott did in the manual.)
Connected speakers to unit, With ASIO4ALL still installed, I tried every combination of in- and output ports that appeared in Audio>Drivers. Still no recording input in the VU meter, and no playback sound.
Uninstalled ASIO4ALL driver.
Unit is now default device in Vista/Sound>Playback and Vista/Sound>Recording indicates input from the mike. Playback from Media Player okay.
However, in PT I'm back where I started. Audio>Drivers dialog box shows only soundcard "E-MU ASIO" (and <None>) as inputs; no trace of the Samson.
Once again, without ASIO4ALL, PT just doesn't see this device.
But this feels like progress. Thanks.
* * * * An aside
With my limited technical skills and gear, I really want to use this mike precisely because of its multifunctionality. My last BIAB project, I had to record vocals at a friend's house using Sonar, then post-produce every track in PT back at home.
By the way, I posted the link to that song here a couple years ago:
