asio problems

Have just discovered foo...

Actually discovered it ages ago but it wasn't very usable & so I continued with winamp.

Well seems very mature now & time to switch methinks.

But...am having a problem with tha ASIO plugin, probably something obvious that I'm missing so if anyone can help pls do!

Have tried both the dll & exe versions and get the same message with each one:

INFO (foo_output_asio(dll)) : open : 44100 Hz, LINEAR PCM, 16 bits, 2 channels
INFO (foo_output_asio(dll)) : ASIO device type [channel 7] : Int32LSB
INFO (foo_output_asio(dll)) : ASIO device type [channel 8] : Int32LSB
ERROR (foo_output_asio(dll)) : unsupported output data format.

This is on a Delta 410...

Check the specs on your soundcard. With ASIO or Kernel Streaming output you gotta output to the correct bit & samplerate for your hardware or it wont work. Me for instance, I gotta output to 16/48 because I have a Soundblaster Live! that's hardcoded to 48000 Hz/16bit output. That error message is because you got this wrong.

try changing the output to 32bit or 24bit padded to 32bit

soundcard's fine with asio (works with the winamp plugin)

24/32bit's a no-go as this is outputted to a 16bit dac...

any more suggestions?????

Resampling? [Preferences > Playback > DSP Manager > Resampler (SSRC)]
Bitrate? [Preferences > Playback > Output Data Format]

It's gotta be something with your samplerate and/or bitrate output from foobar not matching current specs or settings with your hardware or ASIO driver --- OR your ASIO driver is corrupt. Both versions of foo_output_asio are working just fine here....

output is standard 16bit, resampler is not enabled...

***That what I'm talking 'bout***

Try enable resampler, set to 48000. Experiment! (Or check specs for your stuff, I don't know your hardware.)

I don't want to resample &  the hardware works fine at 44.1kHz 16bit in winamp...

Ok. Use DirectSound/DirectSound 2.0 output or Winamp. I'm pulling out of this thread. Goodnight!

Um are you sure about that?

Yup, signal goes via spdif to a 16bit dac...

Try contacting the maker of the ASIO plugin.

Or use kernel streaming.

Or try moving the 'wave' slider in windows mixer all the way up and using directsound (this has been reported to yield bit-perfect output on some cards).

ASIO plugin for Winamp automatically chooses the bitrate. In foobar2000, you have to do it manually. Just select '24-bit padded to 32-bit' and everything will work same way it does in Winamp.

Thanks, that fixed it...

Re the disclaimer on the output page,  should I be sticking with kernel streaming with a 16bit dac (tbh can't hear any diff, wanted to try ASIO as I've had the odd stutter with kernel streaming / wavout).
