Foobar Asio
Foobar Asio
Channel mapping configuration no longer required to use with popular soundcards - you can still configure alternate channel mappings if you need to. Worked around all documented compatibility issues with various ASIO drivers. Improved stability when dealing with buggy ASIO drivers. I tried the new V 0.9.6 and I can not play any DSD file using Mytek 192 DSD DAC no madder what setup I try no DSD files will play.So back to 0.8.4 and ASIO proxy with PCM up sampling to DSD128 and DSD up sampling to 128 also. Foobar2000 Asio Plugin If you have never used the ASIO sound drivers in Windows, then you have not experienced high quality sound output experience yet. ASIO stands for Audio Stream Input/Output and is a standard developed by the German company Steinberg Media Technologies. ASIO: A dedicated hardware-level driver, it typically has true bitrate support and virtually no latency. ASIO is the preferred audio system for input recording if you have a hardware device with its own ASIO drivers. My audio card should support ASIO and till today, it always did. With any other Software I have no troubles using Asio. Foobar2000, Ableton Live 8 and any ASIO test tool run smooth. In NI Machine I am not able to switch to Creative ASIO. Asio4All is supported, though. My native Asio driver is not visible.
Foobar2000 Asio Driver
I have reported before that the driver installer executable rmeinstaller.exe does not work properly. I have used it on three different Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machines, all of which are updated to the latest version ( 1803 ). The installer hangs after the first screen. The task continues to run without any CPU activity and after waiting for approximately 60 seconds appears to continue and finish correctly. However after a reboot the icon for the control tool is not present. To get around this is was necessary to go to the
C:Users%username%AppDataLocalTemprme directory and run or rerun dpinst64.exe. Incidentally I also tried running as administrator but that made no difference.

On the particular machine I was building today ( core -I7 but with a fairly old socket LGA 1366 motherboard) there was a further problem even then because the ASIO drivers were not working. In Audacity ( built with ASIO support ) no ASIO drivers were even detected. In Foobar 2000 the output could be set to Madiface ASIO but when play was pressed it said that the driver could not be loaded. I checked a number of things but eventually found that I had to disable the Realtek HD Audio ( Realtek ALC889 codec) by switching off the on board audio device in BIOS. Not the first time I have found that Realtek drivers break ASIO ( and not only the RME ASIO drivers).
