ASIO4ALL's WDM-KS implementation works better than Portaudio's
implementation. I think ASIO4ALL is closed source but maybe the author
would be open to commenting on Portaudio's code.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] configuration help

2016-11-16 Thread Thorsten Munsch 
In my usecases ASIO(4ALL) was always the better choice on Windows.

If you say WDM/WASAPI good enough to use Mixxx I don't want to disagree. 
Despite ASIO4ALL is just a wrapper for WDM-KS, I had less problems with 
ASIO4ALL instead of pure WDM-KS.

Forget what I wrote. Was a nobrainer while shutting down the laptop and 
leaving the office.


Cheers guys

Hi Thorsten,

I'm curious why you say WASAPI and WDM-KS are poor? ASIO4ALL is a wrapper
around WDM-KS so unless you want some of the configurability of ASIO there
isn't much point I believe.

We list WASAPI as "acceptable" in our manual :)

This is usually a bad advice: 
https://www.mixxx.org/manual/latest/chapters/configuration.html#audio-api

Use WDM-KS API instead, ASIO4ALL is just a wrapper on WDM-KS API, adding 
one more overlay.

Hey Grant,

install the free ASIO4ALL driver first (http://www.asio4all.com). This
enables audio stream input output routing to your laptops soundcard.

Then you should be able to select ASIO4ALL as sound driver instead of
WASAPI, WDM or DirectSound or whatever (which are all "poor").

Another effort of using ASIO is a way better (shorter) latency from the
things you see on the screen and what arrives your ears.
