Perhaps I'm missing something but, is there a power on/off button or
switch on the M-Audio Delta 1010 breakout box?
Is it okay to simply plug it (the power cord into the back of the box)
in to turn it on and unplug it (the same power cord) to turn it off?
I'm hoping that kind of a "cold" power on/off doesn't damage anything.
I know that it would be bad to unplug the cable (parallel?) that leads
to the PCI card, at least while the computer is on. There was a pretty
big sticker on the breakout box, at purchase, that gave that clear
warning. So, definitely not doing that.
Does anybody ever just leave their Delta 1010 breakout box power
supply plugged in all the time?
When I plug mine in, turning it on, the device tends to get warm
pretty fast, which leads me to believe that perhaps after prolonged
periods of time it might get very hot.
If it's safe to just plug it in when using it and unplug it when not
using it, then I'll keep doing that.
It's kind of silly that the device doesn't actually come with a simple
Power On/Off button or switch. ;-) Oh well. (Or maybe I'm not seeing
it?)
