Windows 10: ASIO Driver Issues

Dear Sirs:

I am writing to you today to try and solve a major issue that I have had for quite some time. I would appreciate some sound suggestions from you as to how to solve my problem.

ITEMS IN USE:

· DAW Digital Audio Workstation: Cakewalk by Bandlab

· Sound Card: Creative SoundBlaster XFI Titanium HD

· PC System: MS Windows 10 See Computer Stats – Attached file

· Spectrasonics Software Omnisphere/Stylus RMX/Trillian

· Preferred Drivers: ASIO

I am an independent artist and record in my home. My soundcard includes specific playback and recording drivers and will not allow me to substitute any other drivers other than what was installed with the item at time of purchase. Updates to the drivers are available at the SB website and I do have the latest drivers installed.

My DAW prefers use of ASIO low latency drives, for playback and recording. I believe my soundcard does not recognize the currently installed ASIOrecording drivers available for the product. It appears to be a legacy product, with “end of life service” as of May 28, 2019.



I paid a lot of money for my soundcard and the quality is awesome, so I do not want to replace it. Some of my software synths do not recognize the older ASIO drivers.



After searching online is discovered that ASIO drivers are preferred for Windows 10 products. I also discovered updated versions of the ASIO drivers that are available for free to download and install, however my soundcard will not allow me to acquire them through the available manufacturer’s software.

Is there a work around for this issue? Is a compatibility issue? Am I going down the wrong path here with my findings? I could use some suggestions and assistance in solving this problem.



I am sending a copy of this writing to all vendors to see if we can come to a mutual solution.



Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

I'd be glad to help you.



This issue occurs due to the outdated and incompatible Universal ASIO Driver.

I would suggest you to try these following methods and check, if the issue still persists.

Method 1:

I would suggest you to update the latest Universal ASIO Driver
in the Device Manager and check, if it works.

• 
  Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  Locate and expand Universal ASIO Driver.
  
• 
  Right click on the Universal ASIO Driver
  and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check, if it works.
  

Method 2:

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to uninstall the
Universal ASIO Driver from the Device Managerand reinstall the latest
Universal ASIO Driver in compatibility mode and check, if it works.

Follow these steps to install the Universal ASIO Driver
in compatibility mode with Windows 7.

1. Download the latest Universal ASIO Driver
from the manufacturer’s website.

2. Right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties".

3. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.

4. Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.

Hope this information helps you. Kindly post back with the updated issue for further assistance.



Thank you.

We suggest to contact the developer of ASIO and ask for an update to the driver that is compatible with the recent update of Windows 10.

ASIO driver support in Windows 10

Hello.

I have dj mixing console for Virtual DJ software based on ASIO driver. In previous version of Windows (7) it worked fine. Now I am unable to install this console. Windows doesn't recognise the hardware. Does Windows 10 support ASIO based devices? On asio4all
website there is no driver for Windows 10. Any suggestions?

thx
