Hmmm... about this Kernel Streaming and ASIO (through plugin) on Foobar2k.
I read it's an "Experimental WDM Kernel Streaming support".
How can I detect, to be sure, if Kernel Streaming (or ASIO plugin) really
works the way it is intented to?
My experiences with Foobar2k v.0.8.3 (special):
- when I select Kernel Streaming or ASIO (plugin) output from foobar, I still
can adjust wave volume level on Creative Surround Mixer and on windows
mixer (eg. the one, found on Control Panel --> Sounds and Multimedia
Properties --> Sound Playback --> Volume --> Play Control:Wave).
Does this mean --> signal goes through windows kmixer?
For comparisons sake:
On Sonar 4 (demo)
- when WDM/KS or ASIO drivers selected, this wave slider has no impact
- when MME drivers selected, the slider has impact
On MixVibes 6 (demo)
- when Kernel Streaming or ASIO selected, this wave slider has no impact
- when MME selected, the slider has impact
On Other tried (ASIO compatible)
- when ASIO drivers on NI Traktor m-player or on any ASIO capable
Multitracker/Sequencer I've tried is selected, this wave slider has no impact
- when MME selected, the slider impacts
These results were gotten with W2k/Audigy 2 (both Creative ASIO/Asio4All tried).
So, my questions:
Is this Kernel Streaming option fully implemented on Foobar2000 (0.8.3
special) the way it should be (eg. is it KS?).
Is this ASIO plugin working as ASIO should work?
