The New Asio4all v2 is out...

Post by Machinate » Sun Nov 21, 2004 7:25 pm

You may already know this, but the asio4all driver has been updated, and what an update!

my Soundmax onboard soundcard used to suck when running v1 of asio4all, underruns and glitches all over the place.

Now, it's smooth sailing, 64 samples, 5+5 ms latency...

I can finally do beatboxing loops through the builtin mic, yay!
and it supports multiple soundcards, which is good news for those who want to dj, but their ext. soundcard only has 1 stereo out.

heard about this driver plenty but i've never used it. if i have an echo indigo dj and the associated drivers, do i have any reason to use asio4all?


ps - adam, read a review of that live show, heard it went really well! think it may have been on g-tech.

Drush you might as well download and give ASIO4ALL2 a try, its free.
if you get an extra 1 or 2ms shaved off a usuable latency, then you got your money's worth hahaha.

about that set... it was fun, and it was a really good showing for the St. Louis techno crowd as well as a good start to a new techno monthly there.
I unsubscribed to g-tech years ago, is there any way for an unsubscribed user to find the thread?

My soundmax onboard soundcard disappears everytime I plug a PCI Soundcard in. Asio4all cannot see it, so I can't use both cards at the same time. Do you know what I might need to do?

well, it may allow you to use your builtin soundboard simultaneously..

I checked it on Indigo , out of curiosity, it is not as good as the Echo, but it is good to have a stand by option with the internal card.

I tried asio4all v2 with my indigo io and my laptop internal soundcard and it worked fine, but the two soundcards had different latencies so the audio was out of sync. I didnt find out how to compensate this within the driver configuration. I had to put a simple delay in one of the sources to sync. Is there an option in asio4all v2 driver to compensate different latencies of the soundcards. If theres not, its the most important thing for an upgrade. Anyway its great to have something like that free.

The fader you want to move would be the one called "Latency Compensation"... ?!? in advanced "Einstein" mode.

Thanks for the heads up on this ...

I'm trying this with a Tascam US-122 USB and an internal M-Audio 24/96. I want to use the 24/96 as my master out and the US-122 for headphone pre-listening and guitar/mic inputs.

So far I can get the prelistening to work fine, have the master out going to my 24/96 .... but cannot get the inputs on the Tascam recognized. Nothing coming thru (yet) ... same thing happened with the audiox driver.

Has anybody else got something like this to work?

I've been using ASIO4All for quite some time now. Whenever I got above 65% CPU usage reported by Live, the Audio would go funky. I had the input disabled in ASIO4All, because they say that would use less CPU cycles. Well, I enabled the Input & I don't get those dropouts/slowdowns nearly as much. Interesting that this would make things better. In fact, I'm down to 12ms now.
