Universal Windows ASIO Driver

Version 2.8 (Final) Released!

– Note that more localizations may be added as soon as I get in sync with folks who volunteered! –

Changes since version 2.8 beta 2:

No longer faults with SB X-Fi under Vista.
General Vista compatibility improved.
Improved WDM enumerator display of device names.
Add ability to recover from surprise removal of USB audio devices.
Some fine tuning of WaveRT implementation.
Agressive device re-ordering (as of beta 2) softened down somewhat. Analog outputs should still be listed before SPDIF ones, though.
More minor improvements, most of which mainly serve to increase fault tolerance, others may change the world as we know it, but, alas, over time I had forgotten which ones and in what way exactly.

Advanced configuration

Once the control panel has been switched to advanced mode, things begin to look a little more complicated. The device list is now expandable and you can enable more than one item at a time. The device list contains Devices, Device Interfaces and so called “Pins”. Devices are independent hardware units most of the time.…

Device aggregation

Using the button next to each entry, you can now selectively enable/disable each particular item in the device list. This way, you can also create multi-device-setups (“aggregate devices”). Multi-device-setups require that all the devices involved are running from the same clock source. You can achieve this by daisy-chaining devices via S/PDIF etc. On-board devices usually…

Latency Compensation

Since ASIO4ALL does not have sufficient knowledge of the underlying hardware/driver architecture, it can only guess the actual latencies involved. With these sliders you can compensate for the latencies unknown to ASIO4ALL such that recordings in your sequencer Software are properly aligned with the rest. Note: In multi-device-setups the largest respective value of all devices…

Hardware Buffer on/off

Note: For WaveRT drivers, this box is labeled “Allow Pull Mode (WaveRT)” instead! 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 to the hardware buffer. Adjustment for best hardware buffer performance involves the “ASIO Buffer…

Kernel Buffers/Buffer Offset

If hardware buffering is disabled, this control lets you add up to two more buffers to be queued for audio output. Each additional buffer increases the output latency of the device by the time it takes to play one buffer. Therefore, the initial setting of “2” should only be changed on less powerful machines, where…
