System Settings - Audio (ASIO4ALL) This feature allows you to use a USB microphone input and your regular audio device output at the same time (see point 7 below). NOTE: ASIO4ALL is a generic ASIO driver that works with most audio devices, your experience may be different, including long periods of silence and head-scratching.
I've been having issues with ASIO4ALL on this new laptop. It's Vista, but I don't believe it's related.
Basically, I install ASIO4ALL, select it in my host, but I don't get any sound. All my meters show audio, but no audio.
So investigating further, I find a suggestion to disable the SW wavetable synth thingy as a MIDI output, and I do. No luck.
Then, I see it suggested that SPDIF outputs should be disabled in the ASIO4ALL control panel. I go to do that and realize that the main audio outputs are unavailable and I can't use them, but they do show up. The SPDIF outputs DO show up and I can use them, but I obviously don't want to use them for my main speakers or headphones.
I don't know what other information to give, but I've never had this problem before. The onboard sound is a Realtek HD audio(normal HP laptop sound).
Any ideas?
