As many have posted, the 0404USB is a fantastic 'bang-for-buck' item, with many uses. I enjoy straight headphone out while surfing the 'net, and am using it as a SPDIF conduit out to my DHA3000 dac/amp.

The basic question I have is:

Everytime I start my computer, I have to in Foobar, re-add ASIO and configure for SPDIF output left/right channel. Not a big deal, as it only takes me 10-15 seconds. But is there anyway it automatically retains the ASIO settings?

sounds like a foobar problem not retaining the settings?

perhaps switch on the 0404 USB before switching on the PC?

I've always had this problem, as well. There doesn't seem to be a fix, and the 0404|USB is the only device this happens with (doesn't happen with 0404|PCI or Auzentech X-Fi Prelude).

While I was using the 0404|USB, I basically just had to deal with it, since it persisted through several updates and betas of foobar.

thanks dabblerblue, at least this corroborates that it's not a one-off quirk that I'm facing

Which version of Foobar do you use?

If you "downgrade" to Foobar 0.8.3, the problem definitely goes away.

Can you leave your PC running? I built a fairly quiet machine and it's always running. I only reboot for patches. Running XP. I know it's not the solution, but maybe a band aid you can live with.

It's not a big deal. Keeping my PC running 24/7 vs 10-15 seconds to tee up ASIO, the answers no brainer (the latter). The suggestion to downgrade is helpful, but also it's not a big deal there as well. Thanks for all the input.
