so for both plugins wasap2 and asio2 there is a component missing? but what and can I add this myself? according to the makers of Audiophile Optimizer, w2012 is best sounding windows version.. kind regards, william

I thank you for replying :) Am aware this is primarily a personal needs thing and more than obliged you take the time to share your work! So time is a non-issue, needless to say. Appreciate your looking into the 64-bit compatibility. Regarding your asking "when" (about affinities); You already know 'why' as it's something you'd introduced yourself; if you're wondering why the need to set affinity wherever we want, err, self-explanatory really. Some of us may have workloads that are themselves equally...

Hello, Thank you for you kind message and your wise remarks. I didn't knew that there was a 64 bit variant of Foobar2000. I will check this. I could change the affinity range too. But the problem is when ? I have made some changes since the last published release but the new version, albeit fitting perfectly my needs, is not yet ready for a bigger audience (e.g, I have added support for native DSD but with some limitations: no volume control, only one DSD format supported. This version is more sensible...

@Didier I know it sounds obsurd but: What did you change from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2/2.0.3? 2.0.2/2.0.3. suddenly sounds different in comparison. What did you change quality wise? Is it the asio driver support < 2? I changed nothing but the foo_out_asio2.dll from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2/2.0.3 in my system and notice a different sound.

Hi Didier About Asio2 ( 2.0.3 test version ) and foobar volume control, I meet a problem with SACD files: When starting a sacd ( Dop or Native ) with foobar volume at 0 ( full volume ) everything is OK except that If I change the volume , the cursor move but the volume stay full. When starting with volume decreased, the file is not read as SACD but PCM and the sound stay silent. Regards Jean-Claude

Didier-- Ok, thanks. That file worked (I now have 2.0.3 loaded). Sorry if the mistake was on my end earlier--can't explain it. I now can use the Foobar volume control without a problem. However, if I switch output from Foobar exclusive to ASIO2 (while streaming) I get an instant crash. Also, if I switch from ASIO2 to Foobar exclusive, I don't get a crash, but I get, for a while, a double output (like an echo), I assume until the cache runs out, perhaps? At any rate, not a clean switch from one to...
-
David, the link is good. you have just to copy the foo_out_asio2.dll file in the component directory of your foobar instance then restart foobar. perhaps you have more than 1 foobar instance installed ? or 2 versions of foo_out_asio2.dll in your component directory with different names ? Anyway, you will fin the dll attached. Didier

David, Can you check if the patch is installed correctly ? the asio2 patch version should be 2.0.3 in the component view, as shown in the attached picture. If it is not an installation mistake, could you set the trace level to 1 in asio2 advanced options, then, after the crash occurs, send me the crash report files (i.e . failure_xxxxxx.dmp and failure_xxxxxx.txt files) ? could you send me a screen copy of your asio2 advanced options, if ever you changed them ? Thanks Didier
-
Didier-- Tried the patch (I assume the file belongs in the Components folder with the rest of the component .dll files?). Did not fix the problem. Instant crash when using Foobar volume slider. I'm on Windows 10 Pro, and using an EVGA NU Audio card. Thanks, David
-
Hi Didier I confirm that I used the latest version (2.0.2) For Native DSD, I use the XMOS USB DAC Driver supplied by SMSL for the 500MK2 Dac. Without inverted phase, the result is perfect. With PCM or flac files, it's also possible to use the DSD Processor and after the transcoder. The result is also very good, slightly different from a basic PCM. Regards
-
Hello Jean-Claude, Thank you for your feedback. Did you use the latest version before (2.0.2) ? The only difference between the patch and 2.0.2 version is the fix for volume control . There is nothing more regarding sound quality. your config with DSD transcoder is interesting. I did'nt know that it worked with asio2. By the way, I'm working on a new asio2 version and it will support native DSD if everything goes well. best regards
-
Hi Didier As I met some small problems with asio2, I test this last patch. The problem I met was that with 44100 and 48000 songs, foobar crashed when I use my Presonus studio 192 . So I need to resample to 88200 or 92000 to avoid crashing. With the new patch everything is OK. It was also necessary to keep foobar volume to 0 db to avoid foobar crash. With the new patch , I can change foobar volume without problems. I was also surprised by the audio quality. It was already very good but seems improved....
-
may you try the patch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XoAp95sz6IMDvX_sRbfOiqZx8bfR9knL/view?usp=sharing it should fix the crash when changing volume. I cannot reproduce the other crash with output change.
-
Tried the ASIO2 plug-in today. Sounds great, however, I get surprising crashes: If I try to use the Foobar volume slider (but no crash if I use the Windows volume control); also if I change output from another mode (e.g., default exclusive) to ASIO2 (but not if I go from ASIO 2 to default exclusive). Any idea what's going on? Thanks. N.

I checked my driver and firmware and both are up to date according to their website, driver is compatible with ASIO 2.3. I think the best option is the patch but I will try to reinstall the driver at least.
-
sorry. "Disable Asio config queries" is only in my debug version. it is not set anyway in 1.1beta2 version so I doubt it changes anything. However I see in your crash log that your asio driver is in version 1: "output_asio2_impl::open - asioVersion:2, driverVersion:1, Name:hdspfire, ErrorMessage:No ASIO Driver Error" There is some controls based on asioVersion and driverVersion in asio2 v2.0.x which didn't exist in asio2 v1.1beta2. That could be the cause of the crash. May be you could try to install...

I looked at my advanced config and there was no option to disable asio config queries. I tried setting sample cache size to 32, but it still crashed. Here is the crashlog: https://pastebin.com/5hHVmMTU I decided to revert to an older version to see if my problems persists and with the 1.1 beta2 with the patch I have zero problems and it works perfectly out of the box.
-
Could you try this changes in advanced config: first set the "Disable Asio config queries" checkbox then try . If it crashes again, reset the checkbox then change the following parameter: "Sample cache size (Mb") : use e.g. 32 instead of 1024, then try

Hey, Everything was on default, the standard asio plugin works perfectly with my DAC. Here is my log with trace level 1 as you requested : https://pastebin.com/51tL06gi

Hi, did you keep the default in advanced asio2 config ? just to know if it could come from your audio card, does it work with the standard asio plugin ? can you send me your log with trace level set to 1 ? (checkbox in asio2 advanced config) Best regards

Hi, I have a stupid question. How to get from the level of the asio2 plug to the control panel of the given card? In the official component on the given driver, you had to double-click the left mouse, and here it does not work. Is it possible at all in this plugin? Greetings

Hi, I have tried to reproduce your problems (using same latency, same cache size, and forcing 24 bits asio buffers) but sorry I can't. I cannot test the Reatek asio driver itself : not compatible with my laptop. the text crash report is not very useful. Normally when foobar crashes there is a file with .dmp suffix in the "<foobar installation="">\profile\crash report" folder. this one could be useful : I can load it in VS debugger. Do you have one and may you send it ? also, could you send me the...

Crash location: Module: KERNELBASE Offset: 12B522h Symbol: "RaiseException" (+62h) ASIO 2.0.1 foobar crashes now and then. First log is from switching ASIO drivers as described above.

Hi May be it is a regression in 2.0.1 (there was many bugs in asio2 with this driver , due to its specific asio buffer format, but normally they have been all fixed with the help of Mo Philips). Can you check this ? i.e testing if you have a crash with both 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 or only with 2.0.1. May you also send me: the console output with asio2 trace level set to 1 the generated .dmp file if any. * a screeshot of your advanced settings (cache size,,..) and your asio driver latency settings.

As mo philips pointed out he used an older version, I tried both versions and both crashed. Both crash locations are: Symbol: "DllUnregisterServer" (+107CEh) Could you have a quick look at the log please? Maybe it's soley the REALTEK ASIO driver to blame. FiiO driver 5.22.0 works with fantastic sound adn no errors here... Thank you very...

great ! thank you for your links and feedback. Very interesting. I think that my CPU (i5-6500) doesn't support speedshift but it is good to know. concerning the sample cache size , it depends on your constraints. Personnally, as I used one dedicated PC for my audio system, I have defined as much memory as possible. if your cache is smaller, foobar wil have to read samples from file and send them to the plugin more often (i.e, ~every minute with a 16Mb cache for a 2 channels 44,1Kz track). I am glad...

Hi, a fix for the WMA codec bug (and for MP3/convolver one) is available in Ticket #23. Regards Didier
-
The bug in ASIO2 with MP3+convolver is fixed (see attached dll) The bug with WMA codec detected by Jean-Claude (Ticket #22) is fixed too the rule concerning affinity is that the more load there is on your computer, the less this setting is relevant. I think that if you only use it for internet browsing , the affinity setting is still useful. Affinity settings are bitmask . For example , for a CPU with 4 hyperthreaded cores (i/e 8 concurrent threads) , range of the bit mask is 255, i.e 11111111 in...

Thanks for the explanation of affinity settings. Do you have any further readings on this? So if I set the affinity to 160/8 this would only be useful if I do nothing than running foobar, right? As soon as I use Firefox for example these setings are pretty much useless? Is there a preferred setting for "multitasking"? Default of 10/5? I didn't see the Sample cache size in advanced options. Thx. What happens if the sample cache size is set to 512MB or 256MB? Any disadvantages? ASIO2 by default uses...

My driver has a lot of features: https://www.thesycon.de/eng/usb_audiodriver.shtml but SMSL seems to have reduced some and Dop DSD disappear in DAC Characteristics. HansWurst , thanks for your Help. Didier, I understand that it is seems very complex to take into account Native DSD in ASIO2. Thanks to have clarified all this. Regards

Hi I am not a specialist of DSD (I only listen to PCM in my system), but I think that Jean-Claude is right when he says that SACD plugin used with ASIO or ASIO2 plugin only supports DSD with DoP. Otherwise the DAC would not be able to make a difference between PCM 176Kz samples and raw DSD64 stream. When looking at the Steinberg ASIO API spec, the Asio plugin should ask for specific type of ASIO buffer when initiliazing the Asio driver, in order to use native DSD. ASIO2 plugin doesn't do this and...

With ASIO2 + SACD plugin 1.4.3 (foo_input_sacd) DSD is not converted to PCM. It is wrapped in PCM and unpacked by the chip of your DAC. There is no transcoding afaik. You can select between PCM, DSD and PCM+DSD in the SACD Tools options. If your DAC doesn't allow DoP (DSD with PCM wrapping) but only native DSD then simply select DSD here. I don't quite understand your point because foo_out_asio+dsd-0.1.6 should do exactly the same. Only the ASIO components are different Edit:Specs of your DAC https://www.akm.com/content/dam/documents/products/audio/audio-dac/ak4497eq/ak4497eq-en-datasheet.pdf...

Hi Affinity settings aim at avoiding mixing different plugin activities (i.e filling the sample cache vs passing samples to the driver) on the same CPU cores. Of course these parameters are relevant only if your computer is dedicated to audio (I.e if you don't use for something else at the same time) Regarding your system (4 cores/8 threads Intel i7-8550u), you could try : Asio Affinity:160 (128+32) Input Affinity:8 Concerning RAM usage, asio2 plugin uses a sample cache. By default (Sample Cache...

According to the readme of the foo_input_sacd I believe that the DSD send to the DAC is a Dop one: "If your DAC supports DoP through ASIO/WASAPI/DS driver you can set up DSD playback: 1. Open File->Preferences->Tools->SACD page. 2. Select "DSD" for "Type" in "Output (per device)"section." It is necessary to use the Transcoder, so ASIO instead of ASIO2 to get Native DSD, or the new ASIO+DSD. My DAC does'nt allow Dop DSD, so I open this ticket... If I compare SQ on my DAC with native DSD, ASIO+DSD...

I can perfectly output native DSD with ASIO2 + SACD plugin 1.4.3 on my FiiO Q1 Mark II with its DAC Driver 5.22.0 (TheSycon). If looking closely to the ASIO control panel the DSD file while playing even switches the sample rate and goes back if non DSD file is played. DSD indicator LED also lights on the FiiO. So ASIO2 and native DSD work fine here. Seems to be your ASIO driver. What does it matter if one sends DSD as DoP (wrapped as PCM)? Quote "DAC will strip this wrapper and send the native DSD...
