Version 2.18

  • Albeit the 2.17 release was just a couple weeks ago, I’ve been quite busy with further improvements – and things looks pretty stable at this point in time.
    Therefore – and should I get eaten by a crocodile (or bombed by Trump) anytime soon – an even newer, even better ASIO4ALL – here and now!
  • 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

  • No longer crashes after USB audio device surprise removal. The expected behavior is to attempt a reconnect and resume audio streaming. Having your USB audio interface connected to a KVM switch, changing between computers – with ASIO4ALL currently active on both – should result in a graceful handover in either direction.
  • Some more work went into accurate audio buffer synchronization. The “Buffer Offset” slider is about to become phased out. If your setup absolutely requires a non-default position, I’d be interested to learn about it! (Except when trying to “fix” sample clock drift issues this way…)
  • Fix unexpected behavior (including crash) when host tried to set a new sample rate.
  • Good old plain Azalia WaveRt devices will no longer have their position register ignored despite a returned accuracy of “0”.
  • Further improve input/output latency reporting.
  • The “Debug” option has been debugged and will better assist debugging whenever there is something to debug.
  • In preparation of the upcoming device audio clock drift correction (yes!), ASIO4ALL can now measure and display the actual sample frequencies of individual devices, either directly or inside the tooltip window when hovering over. This shall help finding out wether individual device clocks are synchronized or not. Since the system clock serves as a reference clock, measurement results always are only relative, never absolute! Accuracy will improve with run time. Give it at least 5-10 minutes for a useful reading!

  • Low Power Mode

    Low Power Mode

    This is a global option – for the current audio host application – telling the ASIO4ALL main audio thread how to spend its idle time, i.e. the time when not calling the DAW audio processing handler. The default for this option is “enabled”, potentially lowering CPU utilization in idle mode. Depending on the current ASIO4ALL

  • Hardware Buffer on/off (Obsolete)

    Hardware Buffer on/off (Obsolete)

    This feature has been removed in version 2.17!The only purpose it did serve – more than 20 years after its introduction – was to confuse users needlessly. Enables the hardware buffer for the highlighted device. This only works for so called “WavePCI” miniports, as other types of WDM drivers do not usually allow direct access

  • Allow Pull Mode (WaveRT) (obsolete)

    Allow Pull Mode (WaveRT) (obsolete)

    In version 2.17, this feature has been replaced by the “Alternative Buffer Synchronization” – option! There are two basic access methods for a WaveRT device, “pull-mode” (also called “event-mode”) and “push-mode” (also called “polling mode”). If this box is left unchecked, ASIO4ALL will not use “pull-mode”, otherwise it will use it whenever possible. The default
