ASIO4All Explanation

[music_man]

the asio plugin for winamp lets you reample to 192khz. asio4all only supports up to 48. how do i get this to work?

thanks,

urban myth, this is not true.

 

[music_man]

so why if i set the asio plugin above 48 there is no sound? i really want to try 192.

what ASIO plugin? on what card?

I can use A4A's latest beta in 96kHz, and that's its coder reply:

ASIO4ALL does _not_ have such limitations that you may have read about. More or less the available range of sample rates/bit depths entirely depend on the capabilities of the individual audio devices.

QFT! I'm using the latest release version and am able to play 96Khz without an issue as well. I don't have a DAC that supports 192Khz, so I can't comment on anything beyond that.

it must be the soundcard drivers then. even though it does suppoort 32/192.

i tried using cplay but i couldnt get it working.

Can you post screenshots of your ASIO4ALL config page and the output tab(s) of whichever player you're trying to use?

i could but i figured it out. it is indeed the sound card drivers. with the av-710 on 2chan auto it will play from foobar with sox resampler at 44.1. to allow the soundcard to play at 192 i would have to switch to the hi-sample rate tab on the soundcard. that causes asio4all to go beyond logic. since it was expecting 8 outputs and now all of the sudden sees two.

it is because the card has two dacs. for some reason it cannot seperatly addresse the hi-res dac. this must be the way the drivers are written.

if anyone knows how to upsample with asio4all and a chaintech av-710 please let me know.

thank you,

[leeperry]

you need to check "hi samplerate" in the VIA drivers to get 96kHz, but it won't do 192 AFAIK...and neither 44.1 or 48...this button forces 96 all the time, on the Tremor Envy24 VIA chipset anyway.

 

[music_man]

if i check hi-sample rate asio4all will not communicate with the soundcard. the whole trick with this card was using the standard 2 channel.
apperently this card will not work with asio4all above 48khz. unless someone knows different.

the card will do 192khz, just not with asio4all or ks.

intrestingly, now i lost the analog out with the 4.73 drivers and asio4all. that app is very picky. i wish there was a way to get steinbergs asio without installing vst.

[music_man]

i simply could not get asio4all to work at higher than 44.1 in any player.

the good news is that the foobar ks allowes me to do 32/192 with sox.

question: how can i be sure that it is infact kernal streaming and bypasing the windows mixer? my dac does not decode dts.

thank you,
music_man

 

[music_man]

i am now reasonably certain that the directsound mixer is not in use with foobar when set to ks. that is because the card will not communicate if sox is set to 192 unless the card is set to accept 192. plus there is no analog output even from the wolfson. which leads me to thinking i should flash it to prodigy perhaps. than i probably could use the asio driver.

i just do not understand why the asio driver will not communictae with the card at a frequency above 48khz. does anyone have this card operating with asio4all at 192khz?

Could it be depend of bit depth? Try 24, 32-bit output formats in your player.

 

[music_man]

that is possible. i unstalled it. asio4all did say 32 bit though. so i imagine it supports it. the card has a native 32 bit dsp. so no way around that.

ks is working real good for me. the wolfson sounds good at 32/192 and the dac1 is working at 32/192. i have confirmed that it is bypassing the windows mixer.
i don't see why i need asio. since asio4all is not the exact standard of steinberg. asio drivers can be all over the place as far as performance. there is only one real one. i could install vst i guess. i don't see why ks is not fine though.

i guess i will reinstall it and try 24 just out of curiosity.

This usb-audio.de driver has screwed up my Dacmagic. I uninstalled the usb-audio driver but now my Dacmagic will not get recognised.
