So I read in the amp forum about something called ASIO. The poster said to d-load foobar which I did, I also found a site for a ASIO driver, got that as well. I also d-loaded the ASIO output device for foobar. I extracted that file into the component folder as stated on the foobar site.

My question is, what else do I need to do? Is it all good to go?

Once the DLL is in your components directory, reload/start Foobar and set your output device in preferences to KS: Soundcard_name.



ASIO actually didnt work, so I had to go with KS, I didnt notice any change in sound...think my sound card is just crap. Once I get my pico, I think it will be more effective

EDIT: actually, should I mess with the buffer length (1000ms) or output data format (16-bit) ? if so, what should I change them to?

Most likely you need to increase the buffersize. If you are using ASIO for playback only it won't hurt to set it to the maximum size. (2048ms when using ASIO4All)
