Title: Musiland Monitor 02 - Do I need ASIO4ALL ?
Post by: ajowers on January 12, 2010, 08:28:28 pm
Hi (first post)

I purchased and recieved my Musiland Monitor 02.  I installed the latest driver 1.0.7.  I downloaded the trial of jriver media center and installed it.  I am using Windows XP right now.

I am getting sound, very good sound through my Audio Refinement (YBA) system.

When I look in Tools settings at Audio Output, "Direct Sound" is selected.  If I try anything else, I get errors from the software claiming there is no support for 44.1khz, etc.... It sounds nice like it is.

I was getting a few clicks and pops but I changed the slider from more responsive to less skips and that took away all clicking noises.

I have auditioned music for hours.  I am playing FLAC files.

Do I need to change this set up?  Can I make it better ?  Do I need to be using ASIO ?

Your help would be appreciated.  Thanks,


Anthony

Either I have posted in the wrong forum, people have no knowlesge of the Musicland unit, or they do not understand ASIO... :(

There is another thread here on Musiland:

On XP, you cannot use WASAPI.  If the device supports ASIO, try that.  Our wiki (link above) has info.

Clicks and pops may be a driver problem.  

Try setting output to 24bits in playback options/DSP.

I was told to use the ASIO plug in for foobar.  I think there is an install or something on the driver disk for this.  Will this give me a .dll or driver to support ASIO you think?  Then I should try selecting it in JRiver ?
