Good tip

Good tip, now if there only was a way to keep the ASIO setting every time you start up foobar

There is a way: Use Foobar 0.8.3. Maybe a little less fancy than 0.9.5b7 but you don't have to change settings after each restart.

But this foobar / asio version has also a disadvantage. You only can set 2 out of 4 asio output channels to active. So you need to choose channel0 for analoge out or channel 2 for digital out.

I use 2 different working foobar folders. One i use when listen to headphone and the other to listen to ht-receiver. So i renamed one foobar.exe to headphone.exe and the other foobar's folder foobar.exe to speakers.exe and located a short-cut on quicksart/desktop/startmenu.

But this way you need to update 2 versions of your album-database... and shutdown foobar and restart the other folder's foobar to change between analog and digital...

But honestly said: i do also use version 0.9.5b7 most of the time beacause i can change the lay-out more easaly to fit my needs for taking over the desktop with my Palm device.

I thought I saw somewhere that ASIO isn't necessary when using the 0404.

What you probably read was that "ASIO4ALL" is not necessary.

ASIO4ALL is a workaround application, so to speak, that allows a device without native ASIO drivers to operate in that mode.

Because the E-MU drivers for the 0404 USB support ASIO, you don't need to use ASIO4ALL.

On the other hand, you don't need to use a player app that supports ASIO to use the 0404 USB. It works fine as the default Windows audio device; you can use it via DirectSound and get fine results, too.......some say better than with ASIO, but I can't detect any huge difference.

When you want to use the spdif output on the 0404 you'll need asio as far as i know. For analog output, beside asio, you also can use DS.

Good catch, Ejorne, I probably misunderstood the question about ASIO not being necessary. As you mention, you need an ASIO-capable app to reconfigure the output channels so the input is directed to the S/PDIF outputs if that's what you need to do.

I had just read a thread in which someone was trying to use ASIO4ALL with the 0404 USB and that threw me off!

How come 0404 doesn't come with volume control software....I need to use crappy windows volume control?

 

[[L]es]

there is a knob on the 0404 usb called main output. that is volume control for the 0404 usb analog out. for headphone out, there is also a volume control. for digital (what i use) there is a slider in the vista sound card menu.

 

[kyotousa]

well I need to control left and right channel position.

There is a update for Asio output plugin for Foobar 0.9.5.1.
version 1.2.6

Unfortunally there is still a problem with keeping the settings after restart computer.

But with this new asio plugin it is possible to change asio settings.

Grtz, Ejorne

I use ASIO4all, it fixed all the problems

I use KernelStreaming in Foobar. Sound is definitely an improvement over both DS and ASIO.

I thought KS doesn't work on USB card?
how did you get it to work?......is it an actual improvement or just louder
