Hi,

Need Help!!!

i just received my pico few days ago but i am having hard time to set it up with asio, i dont know whats the problem!

i have foobar 9.5 with asio 2.8 downloaded form asio4all website. i followed all the steps explained on the 1st page of this thread but duno wats the problem. foobar and asio both are installed properly but In the foobar/preferences/output menu there is no any tab of Asio virtual devices so i canot access Asio virtual device editor. In the output device menu there are only four options coming:

Null Output
Primary Audio Driver
soundmax HD audio
Usb audio Dac


help is highly appreciated!

thanks,

I did the same thing as you before (only dled the asio driver), you need to download the asio4all v2 program. After installing it, it will show up in foobar.

Enoyin- Since I got my Pico, I have that hooked up to the HD650s, and left my TBAAM connected to the audio in for my TV. To make things simpler I have foobar dedicated to the pico/hd650 and winamp for my "speakers". I've tried to configure the asio plug-in to work with both enabled but when I set it up in winamp no sound goes through. Also the second link you have for the asio plug in for winamp leads to a post about a sony DAP, i'm assuming this is a side effect from the downtime for head fi from the fall.

nevermind: it looks like asio is against more than 1 device enabled at once. This may be slightly annoying as the plug in will need to be reenabled in both whenever I switch. The other alternative is to run everything through the pico...but is it good to constantly plug in and remove alternating between my "speakers" and the hd650s.

Ai...

Yeah, I suppose that's the downtime indeed. It'll take some time to find that post.

That is correct. Both the advantage and disadvantage of ASIO.

I am using a autohotkey script to switch between audio output devices. Works quite well if you ask me.

alright What..now my winamp using asio skips now and then..and it seems directly related to me doing other things, nothing intensive, even surfing the web seems to cause it to skip...foobar didn't do this..are there other settings i'm supposed to change?

Hmm... those issues comes mostly from too low latency settings / priorities (have you set priority to background services) but, are you sure TBAAM WDM drivers are 'fully' KS compatible? You can check this by selecting Kernel Streaming output mode.

perhaps..but I think i'll just stick with foobar and change the settings there. I don't think its the TBAAM since it has never skipped in foobar
