I use Foobar with ASIO2KS(*) and follow (**)Lynn's suggestion to get around KMIXER (i have not had any issues doing it this way) see below. I use VLC Player to watch movies with a projector; it must use the kmixer... i think.The inconvenience is that I have to go through a series of screens to take in/out kmixer and reboot every time I want to switch between players.
??Is there a video player out there that does asio output??
(*)similar to asio4all; i like asio2ks, but 16 bit fixed point only. ASIO2KS does not work if asio4all is installed...
(**)"I think I have the answer for this issue.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel
2. Open Sounds And Audio Devices
3. Select the Hardware Tab
4. Select your sound card in the list
5. Click Properties Button
6. Select Properties Tab on the Sound Card Properties Panel
7. Click on the Mixer + sign
8. Select your sound card on the list
9. Click Properties button
10. Click option box 'Do Not Use Mixer Features On This Device'
11. Click Apply, and then OK.
12. Re-boot
13. Windows Mixer will no longer use the device.There may be simpler series of steps to get a device out of Window's mixer, but I have tested the above and it works. The volume control for Windows will be disable (and assuming you have only 1 sound card, Windows will report 'no audio device). Foobar through ASIO will work fine and control the volume.
Follow Ups:
winamp with asio plugins works fine for me for audio and video
I am pretty sure that eh Jriver mediacenter will do what you are asking.But doesn't the dac have to support asio? Doesn't sound like the stello does.
If I don't get rid of the kmixer: In the winxp Volume Control the Stello 100 usb dac shows up as "USB Audio Dac". When using foobar with asio I can mute all outputs and get sound... I dunno if I'm getting around kmixer this way... I think it sounds better going through Lynn's way.
