Version 2.8 Beta 2

Changes since version 2.8 beta 1:

  • WaveRT support now also includes event notification mode as well as support for very basic implementations with no position register.
  • A number of audio devices that worked with version 2.6 but stopped to work in 2.7 should work again now.
  • The watchdog and crash recovery features are now optional and can be enabled in the registry – if you absolutely must.
  • Uninstalling ASIO4ALL now also removes the user settings from the registry, always giving you a “fresh start” after a re-install.
  • Device interfaces will now be reordered such that analog inputs and outputs are listed before any S/PDIF widgets. This doesn’t fix anything. This will, however, save me from having to explain the same thing over and over again to users of HD Audio devices under Vista who expect stuff to “just work” in the default configuration. The default configuration often would have brought S/PDIF outputs in front of the analog ones making any application that outputs stereo sound to the first two ASIO channels use the S/PDIF as a consequence. Making people complain that there is “no sound”. A support nightmare!
  • Fixed a rather unspectacular synchronization issue that could have lead to audio pins intermittently being flagged “beyond logic” even though they were working just fine.
  • USB audio devices that were blocked by other audio applications would have been flagged as “beyond logic”. Now they are reported as “unavailable” – as they should be.

  • 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    In version 2.17, this feature has been replaced by the “Alternative Buffer Synchronization” – option!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
