Asio and Optical

[Irishllama]

So I've been trying to use ASIO4ALL, I had it working fine when I used a typical setup. Now I'm using Optical out into a Onkyo receiver. I cannot for the life of me get it to work. It plays no audio at all, and on my Onkyo the DTS light will flash on and off every ~10 seconds.

Does it work if you don't try to override the drivers it comes with? Wait, you said it did. Hmm, I think I know what the problem is...

Not sure why you're linking the FAQ's. As I've read over them numerous of times.

 

[ashmedai]

If it works normally
And it breaks when you install ASIO4ALL
And the ASIO4ALL troubleshooting steps don't fix it
Then maybe you shouldn't install ASIO4ALL, per the FAQ (esp. considering that it's relatively useless for Vista / Win7)

The problem is, I cannot use some features of FL studio without it. ImageLab doesn't offer support for Asio, at least this is what they told me.

 

[ashmedai]

Which, specifically? Are these features that you can get some other way?

Problem is, if it doesn't work on your hardware, then quite possibly it's because it doesn't work. But make sure you read over everything in the FAQ first, there are steps to follow before giving up.

Any recording via external microphone.

 

[ashmedai]

Ouch. On the other hand, lots of programs should be capable of doing that. Record separately and import from file as a workaround?

 

[Irishllama]

I could try that, the problem is FL has real time editing of voice.

What sound device are you using?

Consider buying a sound card like the EMU 0404 or 1212m.

I totally forgot to check this thread, I'll check into those two cards.

Thanks
