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This issue occurs due to the outdated and incompatible Universal ASIO Driver.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

  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

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.

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 (ASIO)
recording 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.

DPC latency RME Babyface Pro


Hey everyone, so recently I did a complete OS upgrade to Windows 10 Home 64 bit. I have already gone through my BIOS and tweaked everything as this machine is my DAW but I am having some issues with the audio cracking and popping on my RME Babyface Pro. I get bad pops using 128-256 samples and relatively bad at 512 and the occasional at 1024.

Now, I am running an intel i7 3770k (not oc'd) with an SSD for my main OS and 3 other hard drivers for my samples, backups, and VST's. I have noticed that when I am working in a project (Reason rewired into Reaper) the audio stops crackling/popping when I minimize all of the windows but the audio is still playing. Granted there is the occasional pop here and there but the moment I maximize any of the windows of the programs the audio goes to heck. Is this an issue due to GPU? I have had this issue on my 780gtx as well as when I run the integrated intel hd 4000 gpu (with the gtx 780 completely out of the mobo). I would sincerely appreciate any sort of help as I have been battling with this for weeks now.
