I have the M-Audio Audiophile 192 and am trying to get bit-perfect output in JRiver MediaCenter 12.  If I choose Output Mode ASIO, however, JRiver plays only silence.  Yet the M-Audio Delta Control Panel shows the volume bars sliding up and down as if something were playing.  Only if I use Directsound output in JRiver do I get sound.

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Also, I am considering upgrading to JRiver Mediacenter 13 so that I can get WASAPI output, but M-Audio has no idea whether it supports WASAPI.  Would WASAPI work with my sound card in version 13?  If so, I will simply upgrade and not worry about ASIO and version 12.

Thanks.

Try adjusting the channel offset for ASIO

Tools >> Options... >> Playback
Make sure "Output mode" is set to ASIO
Go to "Output mode settings..." and make sure that the M-Audio ASIO device is selected
Then play with the channel offset number till you get sound


I use an M-Audio Firewire 410 and it does WASAPI.  I'm almost certain that your Audiophile 192 will do it since it has WDM drivers.

I have an Audiophile 24/96 and it works great on Vista with WASAPI and ASIO in Media Center 13.

It did take M-Audio forever to get a Vista driver ready, but now that it's here, it works a treat.

Thank you.  Once I changed the offset to the correct number, it worked.  I finally have sound with ASIO.  And it sounds wonderful.

So, if I upgraded to JRiver Media Center 13 and wanted to use WASAPI instead of ASIO, how would I activate WASAPI mode--within Media Center itself?  Same deal as with ASIO?

Also, would WASAPI sound or otherwise perform better than ASIO?

I use JRiver Media Center only for audio, so I am trying to determine whether it is worth it to upgrade.

Again, thanks for eveyone's help.

MC13 has a new WASAPI mode setting in the output options.

ASIO can produce bit perfect output and should be just fine for basic audio playback. The WASAPI Exclusive Mode would not provide better quality. In general, WASAPI is more advanced than the audio engine in XP and provides enhanced quality and features, but since the mixer features are bypassed when the Exclusive mode is set there is no practical difference when it is compared with ASIO (if both modes work without problems).

M13 has lots of other new features and enhancements that may make the upgrade worthwhile.

Did you get ASIO to work on the m-audio 192 digital out?  It work only in analog for me.

Check our wiki on ASIO and use the ASIO4ALL driver.  On Vista or W7, use WASAPI instead.
