ASIO Warning

Maverick wrote on 9/16/2003, 3:13 PM

I have just updated to the latest Audigy Platinun drivers but everytime I run Vegas 4 I get the following error;

The Creative ASIO devices have changed. You may need to restart this program before using Creative ASIO devices.'

I had rebooted after instaliing the driver. re-running V4 still gives this message which, BTW, appears to eminate from Creative ASIO and not V4.

Any advice, please.

Hi Maverick

I've just reinstalled Vegas 4 after upgrading my computer and have "The Creative ASIO devices have changed. You may need to restart this program before using Creative ASIO devices." showing up now.

Did you ever figure out what was causing this on your system?

I've searched creative, microsoft, the web, etc and your the only one I've come across with a similar situation.

Something to do with the creative driver?

This topic made me look twice :-)

ASIO here in Orstraylia is our national security organisation - probably similar to the US's CIA (only more incompetent). Stands for Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation.

They had their heads pulled in a few years back though when they were doing an exercise in a Sydney hotel and frightened the hell out of some customers (someone forgot to mention the magic word "exercise").

Cheers

I can't promise to help directly with the problem, but here are a couple of things to consider.

Creative Audigy cards have a pretty bad reputation in the pro-audio world, mainly due to the fixed 48kHz sampling rate, secondly because of Creatives misleading claims about it's status as a 24bit card (the first generation could only record at 16bit) and lastly because their drivers are awful, bloated and neglected. However, before you sell up and buy a 'better' audio card (because at the end of the day, the Audigy is fine for monitoring purposes, games and home theatre) you might want to try out the KX Project drivers. You can find out about them here:

www.kxproject.com

They are free, written especially for the Creative cards, and don't put loads of junk in your registry. They are also stable and extremely flexible (though to some people this might read 'harder to use'.

So in conclusion:
uninstall the creative drivers.
install the kx project driver.
live happily ever after.
If you still get a creative error message, you may need to do some very basic registry editing to delete the reference to the creative driver - but it's really very simple.

Hope this helps

I had upgraded my system to a pentium 4 with hyperthreading.

I checked creative for updates on the audigy 2 and there was a problem with hyperthreading that had been resolved with the latest update.

Downloaded and installed the update and the ASIO warning no longer shows up when I start Vegas.

I will check out the KX project drivers site, thanks.

Hey, thanks guys.

Gonna have a look at the site mentioned:-)

Finnily enough, though. I found another driver update on the Creative Labs site and the warning just went. This was about a month ago.

Sorry, forgot all about my previous questions.

Cheers
