Hello,
Should PD use MME or WDM asio drivers?
I've purchased a Roland UA-5 and according to their support documentation the MME and WDM drivers cannot be installed on the same machine at the same time -- I have to choose ONE or the OTHER.
I'm using Windows XP.
This is really the first question in a long list of questions I have about asio with PD: the others include:
- why does PD 'hang' when I use the -asio flag.
- why doesn't the -soundindev and -soundoutdev flags work? (I can't select any device other than the system default device.)
- and I have a lot of questions for Roland too!
Hi all,
Pd works badly with ASIO, but there's at least one bug fix I'm hoping to install which might make things not quite so lame as before (fixing it so you can at least select the device!)
I still haven't been able to get ASIO running on any of the machines I've tried it on and so can't do a very thorough job of debugging it...

I have not had any problem with ASIO, but I use a version of PD with the static variable changes in pa_asio.cpp
// static int sDefaultOutputDeviceID = 0; // comment out defaults // static int sDefaultInputDeviceID = 0;
static int sDefaultOutputDeviceID = 2; // replace default driver static int sDefaultInputDeviceID = 2;
2 is the device number of my soundcard's native ASIO driver, 0 and 1 are the MME and WDM ASIO drivers. As far as I can tell, PD does not set this number from the command line, so at the moment you must change it and recompile.
Best regards,
Michael
Yes, I think this is what the "-sounddev" flag will do once I get the next pre-release out -- it doesn't work correctly yet.

Alternatively (like if you don't have a compiler ;-) rename the ASIO entries in the registry (backup first) so that the prefered device becomes the first on the list. (The devices are sorted alphabeticly). It is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO
Remember to restore the names if you upgrade you ASIO drivers for some reason :-)

Hi Miller, I have pd running with asio on several machines and very stable ..... with the following soundcards: creamware pulsar (8 i/o) (p2 300MHz) rme9652 (8 i/o) p3 600 MHz tascam us-428 (2 i/o) p3 1000MHz I could not get it runnning with the terratec MT88 (and I only did modifications for the 8 in/out, otherwise I used the precompiled version. Regards, Michael
