- This version officially supports Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Also confirmed to work with Windows 7 and Windows 8, with some minor GUI visual artefacts, though.
- Report bugs to feedback@asio4all.com!
Changes since version 2.17 Beta 1:
- The “Force WDM Driver to 16 Bit” – switch is gone. it had no real useful function anymore and most >16 bit devices do not support it anyway.
Instead, we have a new global option called “SPL Low Power Mode”.
What this does, when checked, is to lower the CPU usage in certain low load scenarios, allowing the processor to enter a lower power state. The backside being the impact of the exit latency from deep power states, which could lead to audio dropouts. After all, there are configurations where multiple kernel events are fired within one single millisecond – all of which need to be processed in time.
What you should do: try, if you can enable this option with no adverse effect on audio quality. If afterwards you experience intermittent stuttering, leave this option disabled!
Note that neither setting will increase/decrease actual CPU utilization in cases of high audio processing load. It merely determines how the main audio thread will spend its idle time. - Fix various potential crash sources in a number of corner case scenarios.
- Fix old, annoying UI bug where device list items would not properly repond to enable/disable action, epecially when the particular item is currently inactive.
- On-board audio inputs on Lenovo Legion are working now.
- Improve handling in case the current audio device is in use elsewhere, including by the dreaded MS GS Software Synth. Forced takeover became even more assertive.
