No probs what so ever with ASOI4All. Use it all the time when away from my studio...

I had no issues untill my PC crashed.
I got a loaner a few days ago and now I have this issue as well.
Any ASIO driver works fine except for ASIO4ALL.
I get input but no output. the Output latency reads 0ms and the hardware controls simply state that the Output channels are unavailable.
I haven't looked at the hardware specs on the new pc yet though.
I'll let you know.

I know that some audio cards don't support ASIO4ALL, but I never heard of programs having that problem when other progs work fine...

Try this.

Open up your control panel and disable all your audio devices, then re-activate them...

I hope that works, but it's 100% speculation - I don't know what the problem is.

Are you using v 2.7?

If you contact the designer (Michael Tippach) he's a pretty good guy. His contact link is at the bottom right of this page...

On my old PC, I was using the built-in Nvidia sound on the motherboard. No issues.
I have been un-installing and reinstalling software, using old versions of ASIO4ALL... I get audio in but no out.

Oh yes, and Cubase works fine.

Once I get home, I'll find out what hardware the loaner has in it.

ok...so i think ive solved this but only mildly. now i got it working on everything. audio devices i disabled my MIDI device. and this did the trick. but in doing that it disabled any other sound. so now it works fine in every audio program but i dont get sound when say...im listening to a soundfile on the internet and such. any ideas?

by the way it does work great! aside from the above problem. question though...is this driver used mainly by people trying to do production on their laptops? say if i have a decent sound card in my computer..im assuming there would be no need to use this driver...correct?

if your card offers several outputs, just disable the first in asio4all, then other (non-asio) programs should be able to use the first out.
btw. we be good to know which card you are using.

i guess so, it enables the use of asio with most internal soundchips, can be quite handy when you just want to check something out.. but i prefer my echo indigo dj

not quite.. asio4all has another cool feature.. it enebles the use of more than 1 soundcards.. it kinda wraps all soundchips to one driver.

Thank you M. Bréqs and Quixotic!

I disabled my audio from the Control Panel, restarted the PC, re-enabled, restarted and opened Ableton. Nothing, untill, I disabled my MIDI and re-enabled it and it's fine now.

Big sigh of relief here.

Using Intel motherboard sound, XP and Edirol UM1 USB-MIDI.

This happens for me, except the sound from other sources on my PC is only disabled when Live is open and using Asio4All (whoich *kinda* makes sense, I guess..)

also, FYI, this is what I had to do just in order to use ASIO4ALL at all with Live on my laptop: under MIDI settings, under Output, make sure "Microsoft GS Wavetable Software Synth" is set to [track = off].

I don't get any sound if it's set to on (which is is by default).

Just don't ask me why, but it works..

because that M$-Synth occupies your audio card

@all with asio4all problems.. i guess it's a better idea to have a look in the asio4all forum, most problems and the solutions are described there.
