Recently I switched from using Kernel Streaming to using ASIO output in Foobar. For some reason, ASIO sounds much clearer and brighter that KS was sounding. I am definetly sticking with ASIO. I run it in ACM, bit-matched playback with 44.1.

Problem is, when I'm playing music with ASIO, unlike KS, playing games like WoW is very choppy. Even moving from different programs it goes a bit slower than normal. Foobar uses about 20k of ram while playing through ASIO.

I'm using the latest foobar/columnsui/asio plugin. My x-fi platinum drivers are all current.

Is there something might try messing with to fix this? Aside from not using ASIO or not playing games while listening to music I'm not too familiar with ASIO and what type of settings I should be using etc.

specs:
AMD x2 3800 Dual core CPU
2GB corsair XMS performance ram
75GB raptor
6800GT
X-fi platinum

according to this post, using v0.9.2 fixed the issue

Switch to Foobar 8.3 I found nothing but problems with 9.x (with ASIO). No problems playing WoW and listening to music ever.

Have you tried playing with the latancy or buffer lengths in foobar or your soundcard drivers?

I assume that I'd have to get older versions of the components I need? (columns, Albums list, trackinfo etc.)

If so do any of you know of a site that has such things, so I don't have to search endlessley to find all of it? I really appreciate all the help.
