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.

    Kernel Buffers/Buffer Offset (Obsolete)

    This feature has been removed in version 2.17!Modern PC hardware does not require multi buffering. This is why the “Kernel Buffers” option has been removed. “Buffer Offset” has changed functionality now and no longer appliues to the “Hardware Buffer” option. If hardware buffering is disabled, this control lets you add up to two more buffers

    Force WDM driver to 16 Bit (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. This option only has an effect if the supported bit depth of the WDM driver is larger than 16, but less than 24. Some devices report e.g. 20
