#91 Fostex ASIO Driver 2.2.1 NO SOUND/Not compatible BUG

[Anonymous]

Hello there,
I have bought a fostex dac/amp and used the Fostex Asio Driver 221, wich is for this model.
I use the foo+out+asio+dsd plugin in the latest foobar version v2.1.5. When I choose the fostex asio driver as output, there is no Sound comming throu the Headphones. I tried every option without any result. So I tried the "ASIO Output 2.2.3" component from the foobar homepage. Before choosing the fostex driver with the new Plugin, i have deleted your PlugIn the I changed nothing else.
The result. There was Sound output.
Maybe there is a Bug or maybe you have an Idea what is gone wrong.
Thank You

Foobar's ASIO output works because it doesn't do DSD Native. Have you tried DSD Transcoder with this ASIO?

Hello,
thank you very much for your reply.
I haven't try DSD transcoder yet. Can you please explain detailed to me what Steps to do to use this option?

Here's the instructions how to use DSD Transcoder: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/digital/pc-software/foobar-2000-for-dummies-part-3-new-experimental-sacd-plugin-v-0-9-x/

Hello,
thank you very much for your repy.
I have now tried the dsd transcoder plugin. Unfortunately, there is still no sound output.
But it still works with the ASIO plugin "ASIO Output 2.2.3" from the foobar homepage.
The "foo_out_asio+dsd" in combination with Fostex ASIO driver seems not to be compatible.

What DAC model do you have? HP-A4? According to manual it is able to play DSD in DoP mode. Means that DSD tracks should be playable even over foobar's Default audio output in exclusive mode.

Hello.
It is the HP-A4bl.

[Maxim V.Anisiutkin]

HP-A4 is built around TI TMS320C55 chip, I never tested Native DSD playback on such devices. Could you send me trace file from DSD Transcoder, please? Set Trace Output at Level 3 and try to play any DSD file.

How Can I create a trace File? When making a click on Save as, i can just open a File.
The Behavior with missing Sound is still in Case. Can't explain why the other Plug In do work.
I hope we can solve this Problem together.

It does not work, no matter which adio file it is. Even if I select the Fostex ASIO driver directly as output, it does not work. If I do this with the ASIO plugin from Foobar, I get sound without restriction, even with the DSD transcoder Plugin. Very strange.

[Maxim V.Anisiutkin]

DSD Transcoder is set as the output device: ASIO : DSD Transcoder (DoP/Native). Open DSD Transcoder ASIO control panel, select Trace Output: Level 3, press "Save as" and choose folder where trace files will be saved.
Then play some DSD track for short time. Trace files should be written in chosen folder.

I have sent a reply with a file as attachement. Still in Moderation. Should I Have to send you the trace File in a Private Message?

Thanks for the Instruction. I could create a trace File. Hope we can find the the Problem and it could fix it. Thank You

[Maxim V.Anisiutkin]

Thank you. I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

[Maxim V.Anisiutkin]

Please,, try foo_out_asio+dsd v 0.3.9 and give me trace.

Hello,
I can hardly believe it, now it works as it should. Thank you so much for taking such good care of it.

[Maxim V.Anisiutkin]

Good news. Could you produce a trace file for this new version as well, please? I'd like to see how it works.

Here's the trace file, with the working Version 0.3.9.
