Got an EMU 0404 card to see if it was better sounding than my Terretec 2496. It's easy to get sound out of the thing. I just can't get it to lock onto an HDCD encoded file. The best I get is an occasional flickering of the HDCD LED. The level varies when it can't maintain the lock. That happens with any of the output options on Foobar.Anyone with EMU knowledge ?
Another problem is that Foobar doesn't even give me any ASIO options. I was getting good results with Terretec's ASIO driver. Anyone got ASIO working with Foobar 9.3 ?
Thanks,
Follow Ups:
When you say that Foobar doesn't give any ASIO options, did you try setting up an ASIO virtual device in Foobar before setting the output to an ASIO driver? This needs to be done first.
Yes. When I click on "ASIO Virtual Devices" & then click "Add New", I get the following message: "An error occurred while querying ASIO drivers. Please stop ASIO playback and shut down any software using ASIO"I've setup ASIO with the Terretec card. But now I can't do it.
This means two things: the first is that the ASIO driver for the Emu card only allows one application at a time to access the ASIO driver. This is the same case as the Lynx ASIO driver. The second is that some other application is already accessing the ASIO driver. Usually it would be an application that you opened, but I wonder if some Emu supplied software is running as a service that accesses the driver. I have never used an Emu card so I can't help in that regard.
There's "PatchMix DSP" software that functions as the control panel for all it's recording and playback functions. That program is probably using up the ASIO. Lots of options. Big learning curve. But I can't even get clean kernal streaming from this thing. I'll play with it some more but I can't ignore my little boy much longer !Thanks for your help.
PatchMix DSP is the E-Mu control panel. It should always be running (accessible by the E-Mu icon in the lower-right corner). It is definitely a bit complex-looking at first, but once you get the hang of it I think you'll like it (it's the best audio card control panel I've ever used, but it took me awhile to figure that out). The panel is accessible through the lower-right corner because not all ASIO applications allow you to access the control panel (Foobar2000 is such a program).Perhaps the problem is happening because Foobar2000 is not outputting the data in the bit depth (I noticed that the current version does not let you select 16-, 24-, or 32-bit for playback word size, like the previous version...it seems to default to whatever the ASIO device asks for).
That is why I won't touch Creative software
Asio works great with Foobar 09.3.1 at least with Lynx drivers on my machine. Although others have reported issues, but at least have the option of ASIO within Foobar, so it sounds like this issue is different.
Yes, I uninstalled the Terretec stuff before installation.
