NeoS Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey guys, I noticed there wasn't any topic for FL studio on Windows Vista. So, to gather all the problems and solutions i figured i'd start this topic. Here's My rant: I have this mobo with a Realtek HD audio chip. Now, in Windows XP, the only way to work 'normally' in FL studio is with ASIO4ALL. On my other mobo i had an Nvidia Nforce2 chipset which had FAR better driver support and worked way better. Anyways, let's say I upgraded my system with Vista. (well, actually i did) ASIO4ALL doesn't detect my soundboard anymore and i'm stuck with "primary soundcard driver" option in FL. As all of you FL users know; this sucks. So, i have 2 options. 1.) Look on the attic for that old Soundblaster 512PCI board which has an EMU10K1 CPU. (Dunno if it's better than my Realtek HD chip, but whatever works, right?) 2.) Buy a better card for approx. $150,- or so. What do you guys think? I'll try and insert the SB card tonight and post any findings here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't know how much an e-mu 0404 costs in europe but those are like $80 here, and way better than a Soundblaster 512. I really should get one of those myself. My latency would probably improve quite a bit [it is like 15ms right now with an Audigy 2]. Getting a real, decent audio card would also make ASIO4ALL unnecessary. I dunno how you guys get those drivers to work, they don't work as well as my default Audigy 2's sound drivers.

NeoS Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 wow. 15 ms. Mine is like, 90 or so right now... I probably should get an e-mu then. Thanks for the advice Soc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 wow. 15 ms. Mine is like, 90 or so right now... I think it's because I'm not using the hardware buffer. When I turn that on the underruns go >>>>>>>>>>>> so maybe it's my super-awesome CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wait, so "use hardware buffer" lets you use MORE plugins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wait, so "use hardware buffer" lets you use MORE plugins? No, NOT using it does. I still have no idea specifically how it works, all I know is that turning it off lets me have a much lower latency without underruns. Might not work the same for everybody.

Villainelle Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Not to be an ass, but...why did you install Vista exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoS Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Because i needed to see if everything worked in Vista, since i'm a system admin and we're currently testing Vista and Windows Server 2007. Apparently, it doesn't work with the stuff i use, but the "normal operations" work like a charm. Back ontopic: It's true Zircon. When i turn off hardware buffer i can have lower latencies and i have no underruns. And Soc, mij CPU is a P4D 3.2 GHZ Dual Core, so i suppose that shouldn't be the problem... I think it really IS the soundcard. The E-MU 0404 is about €100,- here. Really sucks to live in europe if you like technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 mij CPU is a P4D 3.2 GHZ Dual Core , mine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoS Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 BTW, when you use FL studio 7... it's FIX'D! :D:D ZSOMGZ0RZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Anyways, let's say I upgraded my system with Vista. (well, actually i did) Ahh well there's your problem right there. Vista doesn't allow emulated hardware drivers, which ASIO4All is. (Also, this means stuff like Daemon Tools, Midiox, syncrosoft dongles, and a vast plethora of usefull tools will cease to be functional in vista) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoS Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 It makes it seem like there's no ASIO support in Vista at all. Which really sucks. At least FL7 makes it up for me in Windows XP for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
