ASIO not working in Ableton

[JoePolaroid]

Hi

My ASIO driver will not work in Ableton. I cannot even get the test tone to work, there is no sound at all.

I have looked around the forum for a fix, but to no avail. The MME driver works OK, and the ASIO was working fine before.

Please help. I am running Windows XP SP 2, Ableton Live 7.0.1 and a M Audio Fast Track Pro interace.

Thanks.

Hello JoePolaroid,

When you chose the ASIO driver, the audio is routed from and to your M-audio interface.
Do you have any speakers connected to the M-audio interface outputs?

Best,
Christian

Hi Christian

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have two monitors connected to the M Audio outputs, and as I said the MME/Directx driver works fine.

What could the problem be?

Many thanks
Joe

Hello,

Not directly related but it might be worth a try:
- update Live 7 to 7.0.16
- make sure you have the latest ASIO driver from www.m-audio.com or
- try the driver from www.asio4all.com

best,
Christian

Hi

I already have the lastest drivers installed so I dont think this is the problem

Yeah kleine's asio4all suggestion i would have put my money on sorting the problem .

[JoePolaroid]

Some more info that perhaps may help. When I try selecting ASIO4all for the Fast Track Pro, I get a pop up message saying the driver is not supported for this?

sorry mate, i'm lost with that one

Hello,

Please send me your Log.txt from
C:/Documents and Settings/yourusername/Application Data/Ableton/Live/Preferences

Note that on some Windows systems the application data folder is hidden by default. Here is what you have to do to make it visible:
Windows XP/2000
1.Launch Explorer.
2.Select Tools/Folder Options/View.
3.Check "Show hidden files and folders."

Best,
Christian

did anyone find a problem to this? i have the exact same problem, except i'm using ableton live 8. i've been hunting around on the ASIO4ALL forums as well with little luck.

i can see that my guitar (which is also being run through a fast track pro) is being picked up by ableton, as i can see the meter rise, but no sound, and no tone in the test either.

I've been having the same problem! I have a focusrite saffire 6 usb driver and everything was working fine until about two weeks ago. MME/DirectX works fine but as you all may know that driver doesn't let me record audio... =(
