I want to get ASIO playback in Foobar. I have Windows XP. What's the best Chaintech AV710 driver version to do this? And where can I download the driver?

Thanks,
kurtfire

I don't use it any longer, but the best way was to flash it to a prodigy card and then download the prodigy drivers, which had native asio support, and worked flawlessly. The thing is that it only gives you an optical digital out, and I think you loose the analog outs, so it is only useful if you use an external DAC.

fjf, that's only for bitperfect to send out to an outboard DAC. You can still use ASIO with the chaintech AV-710 using its own DAC.

Right. Thats a good howto, but it lacks the asio part. There are many posts about that, back a coupla years.
