I'm having problems with ASIO and foobar ! Can someone help me out ?

Ok, this might get a little complicated.

I'm having some difficulty getting ASIO to work with foobar2000 and my computer.

First i'll explain how I usually listen to my music from my computer then I'll explain what I did to "try" and get ASIO setup and "working" (which I didn't).

Right now this is what the path from my computer tower to my ears consists of:

Computer tower --> Creative Soundblaster XFI HD (Its a DAC connected by USB) --> Matrix Mstage (connected to the DAC's headphone output) --> DT990's.

Foobar2000, device used "Speakers (USB Soundblaster HD)" this is to listen through my headphones... I don't know why its called speakers.

Yes, the drivers for my DAC are installed properly.

Right now I'm listening to music using this setup and with Foobar2000, BUT not using ASIO.

---------------------------------------------

So, I installed the "ASIO support 1.2.7" for foobar2000 in the Components folder. Then I installed ASIO4ALL 2.10 program. THEN I went into foobar, preferences, output, ASIO virtual devices and detected a device. Then I went to output and selected the ASIO device. 

After that, I heard no sound, I tried playing around with and switching up the connections and options after but still nothing. NOW I can't get the ASIO program to appear in my taskbar so I can configure/use it.

I'll post some pictures of my current settings while ASIO is turned on in foobar2000 (but its not working). Just so you guys can get a better picture ( no pun intended ) of my situation.

No, that didn't work.

In the picture I posted, when I select to use ASIO in foobar I choose "ASIO : ASIO" in the output device area.  Then this is what shows/appears in the ASIO4ALL program. (I've tried everything, all sorts of combinations) :

But I hear nothing.

In my "playback devices" on my taskbar, I've tried every combination I could but still nothing.

I tried that, and many other combinations but nothing works.

I wanted to see if I could use ASIO4ALL, only because I read about it first. I guess I'll move on to WASAPI and try that out.

Hey man thanks for the informative reply.

I tried what you said but it still doesnt work.... my computer's weird. I tried every possible combination on the ASIO4ALL toolbar.

On a side note, neither Kernel Streaming works or WASAPI. What the hell is going on.

Ok;

1st -  I downloaded the WASAPI Output Support 2.1 from Foobar2000 website.

2nd-  Then I put the wasapi dll into foobar's component folder and restarted foobar.

3rd-   I then went to preferences/ output and selected my device which is my Speaker: USB Sound Blaster HD.

4th-   Then I pressed play and got this error: "Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format: 44100 Hz / 16-bit / 2 channels"

I also tried all the other wasapi output device options but still nothing.
