Asio Funkiness

Since I had a terrible system freakout last week, I took the opportunity to wipe the boot drive clean and upgrade to XP-pro. While I had the case cracked (I install my Rex cards and other stuff in stages) I popped in an Echo GINA.

One problem I have noticed - if I use the ASIO drivers, I lose audio/video synch when previewing to NTSC I have heard from other sources that Asio and Vegas don't play nicely.

Any thoughts?

That might be because there is less latency time in ASIO mode.
You could check in the setup menu for the external preview, there is a setting for external audio/video sync.

I have the M-Auido Revolution card using ASIO drivers no problems here.

I have the Audgiy 2 with ASIO drivers - I have a sync issue also. It drifts after any transition or if I scrub using my shuttle pro. I found that using the highest latency (500) with the Audgiy drivers corrects this but creates a 1 - 2 second pause before playing :( or you can switch to windows classic audio drivers...

I also have a question? Why do I get a warning saying that ASIO does not support the current bit depth when I switch to something other than 16 bit 48,000 stereo. This card supports 24 bit audio - so why the error???

As I understand it the Audigy2 only supports 48 & 96K audio.

I know it is a pain.

I have often wondered what the overhead is off using a lot of 41K clips on the timeline when the project is setup for 48K.

I am using the ASIO drivers and all appears to be working fine

If you are recording, need super low latency AND you need to monitor through fx, then ASIO is probably the way to go (Echo Purewave is also cool), but if you are doing anything else, you don't need to use ASIO, and you advised to not use it.

I switch back and forth all the time- ASIO for recording guitar tracks over existing tracks, Win Classic for EVERYTHING else.

I thought you also were best using ASIO for 5.1 surround.

If I configure a 5.1 project for the MS mapper the mixer levels seem to move but the surround effects on the rear channels are very low.

Also using the MS Mapper instead of ASIO means I will hear stuttering when I am mixing several sound effects, background music etc. I thought ASIO was not as CPU hungry.
