Hello,
I noticed that pd (at least recent versions of both vanilla and extended) and other portaudio-based applications (e.g. Audacity) don't see some ASIO drivers: namely, the RME Fireface 800 and REAPER's ReaRoute ASIO drivers.
I found several posts in different forums around about both issues, and I've drawn the following conclusions:
- the RME ASIO driver simply doesn't work, and nobody actually knows
why... However some people report to get ultra-low latencies (3ms) with the MMIO drivers. Moreover, even with the MMIO driver they can use the multi-channel capability of the RME only when set at 48000 Hz (but this is another story...). I will ask RME directly about these issues.
- the ReaRoute ASIO driver is blacklisted by portaudio (as of v19) and
therefore discarded... The latter is my most urgent problem because I need to route audio from pd to REAPER with the lowest possible latency/cpu load. Please help!
Thanks, S
