I have a PreSonus Firebox Firewire audio interface/sound card recording system, which is an ASIO sound card.

The website says, "ASIO playback".  Does that mean JRiver's jukebox has full and native support for ASIO soundcard driver protocol?

Thanks

JRiver's Media Jukebox 12 and Media Center 12 programs have ASIO support. The available output modes are apparently identical in both programs.

I have a Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 sound card and ASIO works fine in MJ12 and MC12.

To be able to use the ASIO mode you would need to have the sound card manufacturer's ASIO driver installed and working correctly. Also the universal ASIO4ALL driver is known to work, but I don't know if it supports your hardware.

The output mode options are in "Tools > Options > Playback > Audio> Output mode: ..." After you have selected ASIO you may need to set the Channel Offset setting in "Tools > Options > Playback > Audio> Output mode settings..."


EDIT

Make sure that you have the latest build installed before trying ASIO playback. Some time ago MJ12 and MC12 had a potential problem with displaying drop down menus correctly in some places. This could affect also the ASIO output mode settings window. The problem has been fixed in the latest builds.

What a diff this has made to my life! 

Just installed the ASIO4ALL drivers and did the config. and I am now (finally) happy to listen to all the mp3's again and again at volume...WOW!

If you are using SPDIF without this...get it now! http://www.asio4all.com/

Here is some more info. from "http://www.stereo-link.com/Static/1200FAQ.html".

    "ASIO are a type of low-latency audio drivers for Windows. They were originally developed by Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH to facilitate recording and editing on the PC. High-end enthusiasts have started using ASIO drivers because they bypass the Windows mixer stack and ensure exact bit transfer to the DAC. A free version ASIO4ALL has been developed by Michael Tippach, and it supports "generic" USB audio devices like the stereo-link DACs.

    The information needed to get started is a bit difficult to find in one place. We hope the following brief introduction will help.
    You will need both the ASIO4ALL driver AND a compatible plug-in for your player (usually). Once the plug-in is installed, you will need to use the properties option of your player to select the ASIO output instead of the DirectSound or waveOut. Several popular players have plug-ins written for them, and we have used it successfully with Winamp and foobar200 players. Begining with V0.9, foobar2000 provides an optional ASIO pugin, which must be downloaded separateley.

    To get things started, we recommend using the links below and trying the popular foobar2000 player. Once the driver dll is installed, it will appear as one of the options under Playback->Output on the Preferences menu. Select ASIO (dll version). Then on the Playback menu, make certain the Output Data Format is set to "32 bit fixed point", otherwise you will get an error when you try and play a file.

    Use the "Off-Line Settings" application for ASIO4All to select the stereo-link as the active device. You should select a buffer size of at least 512, more if you find that you are getting pauses.

    When using ASIO, the WAVE and CD volume controls on the Windows mixer will be disabled. This is a simple way of checking that the ASIO driver is active.
