ASIO4All Explanation
Jan 10, 2008 at 4:50 AM Post #241 of 479
wait....
ARRRRGHHHH !!!! NO!!!
I forgot: I have the vista crackle/ noise problem. When I don't use ASIO I get sometimes white noise first in one channel, and then the other. If I use Asio I get a constant crackle type of sound.
And to think I was trying to bulid a computer rig. Now i'll have to spend even more money just to get a CD player. I hate you head-fi!!!

Before doing that you can always check this post first. There are some suggestions of what you can do about cracks etc.

Maybe it's a huge placebo, but I noticed a huge increase in detail and clarity.

I had problems getting it to work at first in Winamp, so I'm afraid to go back and AB test it but damn I hear things I thought even mics couldn't pick up! (also do to source and amp upgrade)

I should make a part about this in the first post. ASIO just doesn't change that much soundwise in Vista.


Hmm that's odd because I am using Vista.

Now I am going to go back to my notes and music, once my amp warms up, and make sure what I hear is real.

The difference in XP shouldn't be huge. Maybe there are some other settings you should look at in Vista. For as far as I know the difference between using Vistas normal audio architecture and ASIO shouldn't be audible.

It could be placebo. But if the differences are really that huge I doubt it. Like I said before, it might be some other setting somewhere. It still is Windows after all. (meaning that there are 10 buttons and sliders which do the exact same thing and because of it you might miss one

It could also be a new album I used to listen to it with- Nirvana Unplugged. (first time on new rig).

Which naturally has crazy detail! I can hear whispers, people talking, stools creaking, light breaths, individual claps, fingers going across guitar strings/ ext.

I uninstalled the old plugins so I can't test it unless I reinstall. Also all other media players aren't working anymore for some reason?

Might just be it. It's a good album indeed.

Erhm. I think you should try a restart. Seems like ASIO is still working.

Just want to say thanks. Followed the steps, and the music is definitely coming across more defined and even positioning and layer has improved on my AC97 crap card. I am not sure if that's what this ASIO4ALL is suppose to do, but it sure feels this way! THanks!

Is this the case? Jon L says he tried to contact the author and got no response. Any light you can shed on this?


For as far as I know this is indeed the case. I have never been able to get that to work anyway. I will look in to it some more.

Thank you very, very much!!!

i've heard otachan's winamp plugin is much better, but gapless doesn't work with it enabled :\ also how do i set the buffer size to 2000 ms? one of my plugins requires it. do i take the sample rate * asio4all's buffered samples * buffer settings in out_asio?

and what is direct input monitor, convert 1ch-2ch, etc?
