Title: ASIO plugins??
Post by: Erling on June 11, 2011, 01:10:32 pm

I just got J River Media Center 16 to be able to output in ASIO.

In the software itself there seems to be an ASIO plugin - does that mean it is directly active? I can't see how to activate it?

On the internet someone mentioned ASIO4all as a plugin for ASIO for this software - but do I then have two plugins doing the same thing. I have downloaded that but I don't know if either - or both - are now running??

Anyone able and willing to shed some light? I have Win 7 x64 by the way.

Cheers and thanks a lot if you can help!

Thanks, that helped me understand a little better. Now I only have to understand how to activate ASIO4All on my computer - because the dialog that's supposed to open doesn't - but that's another forum I suspect. Thanks a lot for the links.

We don't recommend ASIO4All.

From the link above:
"Please note that ASIO4All is basically Kernel Streaming with an ASIO wrapper. There's no good reason to use ASIO + ASIO4All vs just using Kernel Streaming directly in Media Center."

If your card doesn't have a native ASIO driver, I would recommend 'WASAPI - Event Style' since you're on Windows 7.
