How to set up ASIO w/ AV-710 and Foobar? - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

kurt_fire · 06-19-2008, 03:59 PM

I did a clean reformat of my computer 2 nights ago and want to get ASIO Foobar playback. I used kernel streaming before but didn't like how the music would cut off when an internet page with sound loaded.

My equipment:

-Chaintech AV-710 with Envy24 5.30b
-Foobar 0.9.5.3

Are there any walkthroughs on the web for this setup? I searched google for a while but really couldn't find too straight forward.

I made a small guide about this. It's linked in my signature.

Should I download ASIO4All or Foobar's ASIO support listed on their website?

Did you read the guide?

Okay I read the guide and have came across a problem. When I go to edit my ASIO Virtual Devices over on the left under the column "Device Channel" it says Not Connected. When I click to bring up the pull down list it only lists a bunch of speaker positions. How do I tell it I want my AV-710 there?

Also, under my Envy24 settings should I have the output as 2 channel or Hi-Sample Rate Digital Out?

Anybody know what's wrong?

when it has all the speaker positions listed, try clicking on each field and selecting the 'test sound', it plays some static.. i think then you can select Left and Right channels and you are set

EnOYiN, I am using the same drivers 5.30b, v0.9.5.3 and Vista 64, but I cannot get ASIO to operate in Foobar. Simply, there will be no sound from the sound test or anything I play. One problem I noticed is that my Envy control panel does no have the Auto option as seem here. I have to choose either 44.1 or 48 manually. I've been trying to get bit-perfect out of my optical out to my DAC for a long time. Could you please help me or tell me which drivers I should use.

Thank you.

Hi, can anyone help, I have just purchased a new home rig but I can't get asio to work with foobar. At the moment I am running Optical cable from optical out on back of motherboard---> optical in on Zero DAC. I have installed asio4all and have put the dll file into the components file under foobar. It found this okay and when I open the asio setting my digital out is green (active). However when I go to foobar preferences and set output as asio v2, I get no sound?

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Thanks
Steph

This is something both processes do. I like the exclusivity to music.

I find it odd, why would you want to be listening to audio on a webpage or in fact have any computer usage beeps affect music?

PC audio comes back when you stop a song...make the stop key a global hotkey. Or use Direct Sound/Wave-out.

Is my USB DAC 'beyond logic' because I have musak a-playing?
